Hi there, when is the annual fee charged? Upon receiving the credit card or at 12 months of using it?

Hi Adaire,


With most cards the annual fee is charged when you activate the card and then every 12 months after that. Citi should be able to give you more information about this.

Do you know what counts as eligible spend to get the bonus points?

Hi Scott, Eligible purchases refer to most everyday transactions like retail shopping, paying an invoice, bookings travel and shopping online.


Ineligible purchases for the purpose of meeting a spend requirement usually include things like: online gambling, interest, fees, cash advances, government payments (eg ATO), balance transfers and BPAY transactions.


Hope this helps!

Would payments for electricity and council rates earn at 1 point per dollar or .5 points per dollar ?

Hi Peter,

Council rates are typically considered government-related transactions, which aren’t considered “eligible transactions” on this card. Electricity payments would earn 0.5 points if they were processed as a purchase (e.g. not BPAY). If you used the Citi PayAll platform, you could earn points on a wider range of payments, such as taxes and miscellaneous bills, as long as the payment is going to an Australian bank account. I hope that helps.
