There must be 6 donkeys who are either too loaded or just dumb. Why they go and LIKE the fuel increase post??
July 10th, 2012 at 2:23 am
They probably have vested interest.

esso mobile privilege card question:
“17.4% savings on petrol is calculated based on 5% site discount, 5% Citibank credit card discount, up to 2.9% Smiles equivalent fuels savings and 5% cash back. Cash back earned on Citi Dividend Card has a validity period of 15 months.”
what does this “15 months” mean? doesn’t cash back come to you just so simply? sounds like got a catch.
also, if you read Citibank Dividend Card info on their website, the final transaction amount must be $50 at least, to enjoy the rebate. otherwise rebate is 0.5%. anyone noticed that?
so how much must we pump in Esso to avoid being penalised? no minimum limit for Esso MPCard?
July 10th, 2012 at 1:33 pm
Bro… to answer your question…. the rebates from Citibank will be returned to you in a form of a cheque… to get the cheque, you will need to accumulate at $50 worth of rebates. if you do not accumulate $50 worth of rebates in 15 months. all the rebates will be forfeited.
July 10th, 2012 at 2:08 pm
how about the second part, minumum transaction value $50 in order to enjoy the rebate, otherwise rebate will drop to 0.5% ?
July 10th, 2012 at 3:17 pm
Citi has changes it’s T&C for dividend card. To get 5% you need to charge at least $50 else below $50, you will only get 0.5%
July 10th, 2012 at 4:42 pm
but Esso MP card has no such $50 minimum spend, it seems?
July 11th, 2012 at 1:32 am
Esso MP card is linked to your dividend card therefore u have to follow dividend card’s new t&c.
It is not difficult to charge $50(after discount 14% at the counter). I pumped 32L everytime and after discount, I pay ard $56.
July 11th, 2012 at 12:07 pm
HI guys , what’s the website address where you saw that you need to charge $50 to get the 5% cashback?
I went to https://www.citibank.com.sg/gcb/credit_cards/citi_esso_promotions.htm?eOfferCode=SGCPDLNAV
but I don’t see it.
Thanks

They have not updated the citi esso we page but it is update in the citi dividend website. This min $50 is effective from 1st Aug
July 11th, 2012 at 6:52 pm
Min $50 for 5% rebate! Just did a quick calculation need to pump $59. After applying 14% discount you will sign $50.74.
This will affect the overall discount if there is a voucher like the current $3 off for $50! Luckily is starting in aug. I need to adjust my calculation to take this into consideration .
July 11th, 2012 at 11:48 pm
I didn’t realise that there is so many “hidden” t&c for Esso MP card. so confusing. so which card offer you the best discount now? HSBC? DBS? UOB?
July 12th, 2012 at 9:38 am
very sneaky right
this esso
and this citibank
July 12th, 2012 at 9:53 am
be careful when you call citibank call centre. they may say they will call you back, but when I asked them, the reply was, “depends on who is taking your call”. they said some staff are “not card-trained” and may not record down your message and call you back, even if they say they will.
if you are waiting for someone to call you back as they promised, make sure you take down that person’s name, and also you might want to ask if this call back instruction was even recorded in the first place. what they say on the phone is not what they will end up doing.
other companies like UOB and Stanchart does not seem to have this problem with their staff.

Caltex just up all pump prices by 3 cents
July 12th, 2012 at 5:10 pm
Oh no. Price reduction is so short live. Need to maximise discount to save.
@Dave, is it confirm that the changes is for citi dividen is effective only from 1 Aug?
July 12th, 2012 at 9:53 pm
Petrol companies mentioned petrol price not tied to brent/crude oil prices when the latter dropped alot, but how come they increased the prices immediately when the latter rises a bit recently? They are the kings, no authority can rein them in.
July 12th, 2012 at 10:15 pm
Stop talking abt Citi Divi card.
@price adjustment!
Thanks for sharing abt Caltex Price increase!!
95 is now $2.00 at Caltex…. Shall top up my SPC 95 tomorrow morning before price increase.

regarding citibank dividend card to be used at esso…..
Found it - it’s here :
http://www.citibank.com.sg/gcb/credit_cards/citi_dividend.htm?eOfferCode=SGCDLNAV
But they didn’t say that it’s effective from 1 Aug
luckily you guys alerted me at petrolwatch, i was so happily pumping at esso thomson using the $3 voucher and only pumping $50 worth of petrol (paid $40 after discount).
THANKS GUYS !!!

The min $50 charge is stated right at the back of your monthly credit card statement, effective 5 Aug Div$ earned will also be credited into dividend card account directly n no more in the form of cash cheque
July 13th, 2012 at 1:02 pm
@lppl thanks for the info. Am using eStatement and thus did not read the fine print.
July 13th, 2012 at 2:10 pm
James, you so detailed in your petrol price computation but how can so careless in fine prints, especially those from the banks be it eStatement or not, that’s what makes bankers all over so rich! Of course still got our oil companies also very rich!
July 13th, 2012 at 2:20 pm
citibank just started to play this trick. therefore when you want to pump less than S$59 (and therefore you will not get the proper 5% rebate), consider pumping like SPC using POSB card instead. forget citibank since its trying to be punk. the next round they might raise the minimum spend to be $60 or $70.
i bet you, none of the esso station staff will tell you of this change. only PETROLWATCH tells you.
July 13th, 2012 at 4:02 pm
admin should try to put the S$59 minimum pump value into the website regarding citibank mobile privilege card
July 13th, 2012 at 11:16 pm
@lppl, I agree, I shhouldn’t have over look the fine print in the eStatement.
November 14th, 2012 at 2:02 pm
LOL…
