I habe

I am thinking of applying for a NAB card whilst holding the citi card, is there definitely an issue here?

I have this Citi card ( keeper for a while ) and applied and approved for a NAB card last week.

 

[Muppet501st]

So transferred a little over 400k points to QR whilst the 30% promotion was on.
The 30% credited todays ( 4 weeks after the transfer) and was able to select J seats x2 FRA-DOH-BNE for a date in June that that was my first choice.
Over the moon and will look to earn more points to send to QR in the future.
Not sure if QR WP status ( VFF status match) helps finding seats, but I could see a lot of availability
88k avios and 292 euro each, but a million brownie points with Mrs Muppet501st

Just did my first spend on the card which has been processed. Still showing 0 rewards points. Shop was at Woolies. Is there a lag time to show rewards points or is it only calculated at the end of the month.TIA

is it still pending on your transaction history? Points post as you spend i'm not sure if it's the day they move off pending or the following day but i'm pretty sure it's quick.

What are others' experience in crediting the initial bonus points? I reached minimum spend in the first two months, nada. Then I rang a month after the 3-month time criteria elapsed and the callcentre took AGES to come back and tell me points would be credited 6-8 weeks after the 3 month anniversary but she worded it as though that was when I reached the minimum spend.

I don't really trust that but I'm loath to join the phone queue again.

My wife and I have the prestige and in both cases points were credited in the following statement after reaching minimum spend. If all your transactions were eligible then it might be a potential issue on their end.

Following statement after hitting the spend. 3 months is technically right… but probably a sign of an issue.

Does anyone know if you hold both Prestige and Premier, can you transfer points you originally had in the Premier to the Prestige only partners?

Just to add another data point, I also got my bonus points this month, the first statement after hitting spend requirement.

Just for interest could you see them credit in your rewards balance during the month or was it only when the statement was done that they processed the bonus.

Only when the statement was issued

One more annoying question. Do Citi ever have times where there is a bonus to transfer points to airlines? Thanks in advance.

 

[drmatte]

Yes, there was one to Qatar just recently.

 

[sickman112]

They also normally participate in the biannual velocity transfer bonus at varying %s

Wouldn't wait too long for KF. Far as I'm aware they've only done one and it was during covid

Does anyone hold both the Citi Prestige and Premier and if so, can you take advantage of the PayAll feature by accrueing points on both accounts?

You probably could but it's important to note that the points are separate between the cards. You can't easily transfer points from one card to the other. My understanding is that you combine the points easily only if you cancel one card.

My end goal is to transfer them over to KrisFlyer or Velocity - with this in mind, could I still go ahead and take advantage of the PayAll points feature on both cards?

the Payall limit is across all cards not per card, so you can still only payall $20k per month regardless of how many cards you hold.
