On 1 June 2022, Citi's consumer banking business was acquired by NAB. Citi credit cards are still available for application and will have the Citi brand. However, the contract for these cards is now with NAB.

How to apply

You can apply for the Citi Premier Credit Card online in 10 minutes and should receive a response within 60 seconds. Before you get started, make sure to check the eligibility requirements and organise the necessary information to complete the application.

Eligibility criteria

  • New cardholder. The cashback offer is only available to new Citi customers.
  • Residency. You must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident.

Card benefits

  • $600 cashback offer. You'll get $600 back on your account when you spend $2,000 on eligible purchases through Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay in the first 3 months from approval. The cashback will be credited to your account within 16 weeks of meeting the spend requirement. Note that cashback will reduce your credit card balance but won't count towards your repayments.
  • Rewards program. You'll earn 2 points per $1 on eligible purchases made online in Australia or overseas, 2 points per $1 for eligible international spending and 1 point per $1 on all other eligible spending in Australia. This means you'll earn points for most of your purchases, with an annual points cap of 200,000 points. But you won't earn points for transactions including cash advances, balance transfers, BPAY payments, transactions made when you're operating a business and government charges (including payments to the Australian Taxation Office).

Rates & fees

  • Annual fee. This card has a $300 annual fee ($150 in future years if you spend $48,000 on eligible purchases or cash advances within that year).
  • Interest rates. The purchase rate on this card is 21.49% p.a. and the cash advance rate is 22.24% p.a. (variable).

Hi what is the minimum time required to apply for this card after already having the exact same one with them last year? Also is the time required to wait from the date you last received the cash back offer or officially closed the card down? Cheers

Hi Liam,

Citi does not list a minimum time between previously having this card and being eligible for this offer but you can check your eligibility by contacting Citi on 13 24 84. In regards to your second question, credit card providers would typically consider the time between when you closed an account and when you applied for a new one, rather than when you received cashback or other introductory benefits. But it does depend on the provider so it’s good to check the terms and conditions or contact them directly. I hope this helps.

The tickets of which airline should I hold to enter the airport lounge? Is it limited to Qantas only?

Hi Tko,

You can get lounge access with tickets from any airline but it will usually need to be an international flight that leaves on the day you want to visit the lounge. With this card, lounge access is offered through Priority Pass and it has its own network of lounges. Finder’s Priority Pass credit cards guide has more details if you’re interested. I hope that helps.
