Citibank’s latest credit card gives shoppers the highest rebate in
town all year round
With the new Citi TANGS Platinum Visa Card, cardholders enjoy the highest
shopping rebate of 10%, and many other exclusive privileges
Citibank has launched a new credit card that promises to be one of the best
shopping cards in Singapore, with the highest rebates and optimum savings for
cardholders. The Citi TANGS Platinum Visa Card gives cardholders a rebate of
10% at TANGS outlets all year round and a wide range of exclusive privileges.
Citi TANGS Platinum Visa cardholders instantly earn a rebate of S$1 for every
S$10 dollars charged to the card at TANGS establishments. Dollars earned can
be accumulated to offset future purchases at TANGS Orchard, TANGS VivoCity,
TANG+Co, TANGS Studio & TANGS F&B outlets. This means that cardholders
have the flexibility and choice of saving on a wide variety of merchandise, from
cosmetics and fashion to bedding and home ware, instead of having to chalk up
“points” to redeem selected items. In addition, there is no minimum spend, and
cardholders will be able to earn rebates of up to 12% on special days!
“The Citi TANGS Platinum Visa Card is Singapore’s most rewarding shopping
card, 365 days a year. TANGS is one of the country’s most popular retailers, and
a stalwart in the retail scene here. And increasingly, we find that many of our
cardholders value rewards in the form of rebates, as it translates to real and
tangible savings of their choice. Offering our customers the country’s highest
shopping rebate, at one of its most-loved fashion lifestyle store, is Citibank’s way
of giving back to our loyal base of customers”, shared Ms Chan Sowhan,
Marketing Director and Head of Co-Brand Cards and Strategic Alliances, Credit
Payment Products, Citibank Singapore Ltd.
Ms Terin Yim, Vice President, Group Marketing & Communications at TANGS,
says, "The Citi TANGS Platinum Visa Card was launched in response to the
growing affluence of our customers, and to continue to reward the strong and
loyal base of cardmembers we'd built together with Citibank. By leveraging on
each other's strengths, this winning strategic alliance will certainly bring more
value to our customers."
