SPEND = SHOPPING CREDITS
We are not aware that Citibank has this promo. We always use our credit card but we are not big spender since we only use the card if needed. So we were indeed surprised when we received the text. When I read the promo period, I remembered that two days before the promo ends, we bought plane tickets for our summer trip. Yey! Buzzer beater, buti na lang naihabol yun or else we won’t ever reach the required accumulated spend.
The P10,000 eGift credits are not convertible to cash so we have no choice but to purchase eGift Vouchers. You can redeem vouchers for shopping, health and wellness, travel, and food. We chose the following merchants:
Krispy Kreme P1000
Four Seasons Hotpot P3000
Sperry P6000
Total P10,000
There is schedule on when to redeem it so I told my husband that we will discuss it after his business trip in Vietnam. There are several merchants but we only chose 3 because of our limited time to redeem it.
I chose Krispy Kreme because we always buy doughnuts here. Four Seasons Hotpot to celebrate my son's Red Eagle Award in school. Sperry because we like to buy shoes there but it is so expensive for our budget, but now we have ecredits so we can buy shoes na. hehehe!

They provided a step by step guide on how to redeem the credits so purchasing voucher is so easy. You can save the eGift code or print the eGift vouchers and present it to the store manager. I printed all the vouchers and present it to the store, they will verify the code and that's it.
We’re so happy for the free eGift credits because we were able to eat and shop for FREE. Indeed, you can really save money by just using your credit card.

This is great! ako din hindi ko naman pinapansin yung points accumulated sa credit card... hahahaha... I will check also sa card provider maybe we can use it... thank you for sharing...
ReplyDeleteYes, it is nice to check your credit card rewards para sulit. :)
DeleteWow! Grabe, 10k?! woooh. Sarap naman nun. Unexpected pa. O db? Galing galing! Ako I don't have a CC e, I'm thinking of getting one na nga. Pero I'm still trying to think kung makakabenefit ba sya sakin to the max.
ReplyDeleteTrue, unexpected talaga. Just choose the credit card that will benefit you, kung mahilig ka magshop, travel, eat or gusto mo ng cash rebates yun piliin mo.
DeleteWow! One of the perks of having a credit card :)
ReplyDeleteAng bongga ng rewards ng Citibank sis. Congrats!
Yes, if I will compare it to the other credit cards, marami promo and discounts si Citibank. Malaki lang Forex nila pagginamit mo abroad or online shopping.
DeleteWow 10k! You are blessed! We don't use credit card nowadays. We don't see the need yet. But we'll see, hehehe. Ganda lang ng timing for the celebration. Congratz sis!
ReplyDeletePwede naman kasi debit card so some people don't get credit card din, iwas temptation. Oo nga, nakasave ako sa pagcelebrate. hehehe!
DeleteWow naman instant ang 10k. You and your family is lucky. Di pa talaga nasagi sa isip namin ni Lemuel kumuha ng credit card as long as di naman talaga kaylangan pero pag iisipan pa namin. Pero galing naman ng Citi Bank na surprise kayo di nyo din pala alam na may mga ganyang promo sila. Congrats sis!
ReplyDeleteRewards and discounts lang kasi yung chinecheck ko. I don't pay attention dun sa accumulated spend since hindi naman ko palashop. Buti umabot kami sa promo period. :)
DeleteAng saya-saya! P10,000!!! In our case, our credit card company has regular free food naman: for every P3,000 single purchase, we have free food in either Jollibee, Greenwich or Chowking, or coffee from Starbucks. Usually, Jollibee. :) I think credit cards are great as long as you don't spend more that what you can afford.
ReplyDeleteTrue, just spend what you can afford. Use the credit card wisely so you can take advantage the benefits. :)

ReplyDeleteHi! I'm not sure if they have limited quantity per day. I redeemed before 10AM and available naman lahat, agahan mo na lang. :)
DeleteButi pa kayo tinext nung nameet yung spend requirement. Ako, last December 23, 2017 ko pa sya nameet, no email or SMS. Kung di pa ako nangulit sa Live Chat nila, hindi nila ibibigay yung code na I need to enter sa eGift site. Then after ko ma-enter sa eGift site, wait for another 5 days daw to receive the gift code via sms and email. Until now (more than 5 days later) wala pa rin. Deadline of redemption is January 31 na lang. I'm so disappointed with the length of time I had to wait for the P6,000 Nike/PlanetSPorts GC. Hopefully next week, I'll get it.
ReplyDeleteAy, sad to hear naman. When I redeemed naman, nareceived ko agad yung gift code via sms and email within 30min. Bakit kaya tagal ng sayo, sana makuha mo na. Sayang yung eGC.
DeleteWas it hassle free when you showed the voucher to the manager and dined at the Four Seasons Hot Pot? Because the Giftaway website states that when it's offline during verification by the establishment manager you can come back later and I think that's a hassle if one is going to dine in a restaurant during an occasion. Thanks for any info.
ReplyDeleteOh, I did not read that part. Good thing we had a smooth transaction. I just showed my printed voucher and that’s it. Though it took them a long time to give us the receipt, maybe because of the verification. I hope you won’t have any problem when you redeem.
DeleteThanks
