There is currently a  Singsaver credit card promotion where you can get yourself either a brand new Apple AirPods Pro (UP S$379) or S$250 cash via Paynow. New Citibank cardholders (those who have not held a Citibank card in the past 12 months) who apply for a credit card and get approved can choose to receive one of the following gifts: a pair of Apple AirPods Pro or S$250 in cash. This promotion is valid until 7th December 2020.

Annual fee is waived for the first year for all the cards listed below except for the Citi Prestige. Citibank normally waives the annual fee for succeeding years as long as you actively use the card but if not, you can always cancel to avoid paying the annual fee. You can even cancel the card after receiving the Apple AirPods Pro or cash reward if you wish.

If you are already an existing Citibank cardholder, fret not. You still get to have S$30 with your successful application.

Note that this offer is valid only if you apply via the below exclusive links (direct application with Citibank doesn’t count for the promotion). Why is that so? Singsaver actually acts as an aggregator and affiliate partner for Citibank cards and from time to time, Singsaver and Citibank may jointly fund the gift in order to split the marketing expense between them. 

Similar offers have been running for the past couple of months, with the gift going as low as S$200. The current S$250 cash offer is a tad higher in terms of the cash sign-up reward.

After clicking submit on your credit card application, make sure to take note of your Application Reference Number. You will have to fill out a redemption form (automatically sent to your email once you make a card application) in order to be registered.

Once your card is approved, remember to make at least one transaction (any amount) within 60 days of receiving your card in order to receive the Apple AirPods Pro or cash reward. You will get an email within 60 to 90 days with instructions on how to claim your gift.

Here are the Citibank cards that qualify for the promotion:

From now until 15th September 2020, apply for selected Citi credit cards as a new Citibank cardholder to receive a Dyson Pure Cool Me (worth S$499). Existing Citibank cardholders will get S$30 via Paynow.

Again, you might wonder – how is this enticing reward possible? As mentioned previously, the traditional way of getting new card sign ups – that of hiring promoters and organizing roadshows in areas with heavy foot traffic – actually cost a lot of money. Many card companies have resorted to doing it online for the past few years – often through the help of aggregators such as Singsaver. The cost saving allows them to offer attractive gifts from time to time such as cash, luggage or gadgets.

In light of the current global situation, the Singapore government last week issued a mandatory 14-day stay home notice for people returning to Singapore from other ASEAN countries, Japan, Switzerland or the UK effective 16th March 2020, 11:59PM. Only a few days later, the government expanded its scope and made it mandatory for residents returning from ANY country to stay home for 14 days. 

I was in another ASEAN country when I first heard about the stay-home notice affecting returnees from ASEAN countries. Although there was a bit of a grace period, I could not return to Singapore prior to it kicking in as I was overseas due to an urgent personal matter. I eventually returned to Singapore on the 19th March, days after the restriction kicked in. 

Update: As of 18th June 2020, there are now slightly different variations of the stay-home notice which depend on (a) which country you come from and (b) your residency status in Singapore. 

If you are arriving from these countries: Australia, Brunei, Vietnam, New Zealand, China (including Hong Kong and Macao), Taiwan, Japan and South Korea – you can serve your stay-home notice at your place of residence regardless whether you are a Singaporean/PR or a Long-Term Pass Holder. If you are a Long-Term Pass Holder, you should also possess a valid approval letter for entry into Singapore. In addition to the stay-home notice, all arriving passengers must also do a covid-19 test before the SHN ends and this is chargeable (S$200, regardless of residency status).

If you are arriving from a country other than what is mentioned in the preceding paragraph, then you can only do your stay-home notice in an approved facility. If you are Singaporean/PR, this is not chargeable if you last left Singapore prior to the 27th May 2020 travel advisory (chargeable at S$2,000 if you left Singapore after the travel advisory). If you are a Long-Term Pass Holder with valid approval letter to enter Singapore, the stay-home notice in a facility is also chargeable (S$2,000). Again, the covid-19 test is also required and is chargeable regardless of residency status.
