This post is brought to you in partnership with HSBC Credit Cards. 

With so many credit cards in the market to choose from, it can be quite a headache to decide on which one to apply for. What we really appreciate is one all-rounder card that complements our lifestyle and rewards us for our daily expenditure, one that resides permanently in our wallet so that we can turn to it for any scenario – travel, dining, shopping.

The Citibank Clear Platinum Card gives you 5X Rewards (5 Rewards Points or 2 miles for every S$1 spend) on dining, overseas spend, and online shopping. While some cards reward you when you only charge for travel, dining or shopping, this card rewards you with all three!

Gone are the days when we’d stand at the cashier, ready to pay for something, only to hold up the queue by spending minutes recalling which credit card offers the best rewards for whatever we are buying.

Here are the Top 4 reasons why you must get the Citibank Clear Platinum Card.

1. EARN REWARDS POINTS WHEN YOU DINE OUT LOCALLY AND OVERSEAS

There are many reasons to get the Citibank Clear Platinum Card, but if we could only choose one, it would obviously be this – you get to earn Reward Points for eating out. How awesome is this? To live in a country where eating is the national hobby, earning 5 Rewards Points or 2 miles for every S$1 spend when dining out at restaurants, cafes and bars, both locally and overseas is really a bonus.

If you have the habit of charging dining bills to your credit card, why not charge to the Clear Platinum Card and stack up your Rewards Points at the same time? Here’s how: maybe you spend S$100 a week on meals and drinks, which translates into S$5,200 in a year, you’ll earn a whopping 26,000 Rewards Points just from eating out! You could redeem these points for 10,400 miles, S$80 worth of shopping vouchers, or cash rebate.

Delicious food and sweet savings? Sounds like a win-win to us! So, don’t forget to use your Clear Platinum Card on your next visit to Din Tai Fung, Sushi Tei, Starbucks and many more – home and away, for even more rewards.

2. EARN EVEN MORE REWARD POINTS WHEN YOU SPEND DURING YOUR HOLIDAYS OVERSEAS

Worried about how much cash to carry or which credit card to bring along on your next overseas trip? Fret not! For folks who travel frequently like us, using the Clear Platinum Card is an effortless way to chalk up Rewards Points while traveling with ease. With 5 Rewards Points or 2 miles for every S$1 spend in a foreign currency, this is the only card we need.

What’s more, enjoy greater savings with exclusive travel deals from Expedia, Emirates, Agoda and more. Remember to charge your airfare to the Clear Platinum Card, and activate your complimentary travel insurance before you travel. Looking forward to your next weekend getaway or year-end holiday already?

3. RETAIL THERAPY IS THE BEST THERAPY, AND YOU WILL BECOME EVEN HAPPIER WHEN YOU USE THE CLEAR PLATINUM CARD FOR ONLINE SHOPPING

Been eyeing that IT bag from Reebonz or that pair of diamond ear rings from Blue Nile? Shop with the Clear Platinum Card and earn 5 Rewards Points or 2 miles on all your online purchases. On top of this, get up to 40% off at your favourite online stores like Luxola, Zalora and UNIQLO and more!

4. WHAT’S GREAT ABOUT THE REWARDS POINTS

So now you’ve earned and accumulated all these Rewards Points, what’s next? Transfer your Rewards Points to your preferred Airlines’ Frequent Flyer Programs like KrisFlyer, Asia Miles, Sky Miles or Hotel Membership Programs. If you’re not a miles junkie, you can use your Rewards Points to offset your next purchase, redeem for vouchers, or get cash rebate. With all these redemption options, there is definitely something for everyone. Remember, there is no limit to the number of points you can earn, and your Rewards Points are valid for 5 years. ‘Nuff said.
