CitiBusiness Gold to QFF, Post March

[one9]

Seems I jumped the gun too early. I did not realize there was an 80,000 cap on points per year.

I spend over $1,000,000 on my card each year as I operate my own business.

I earned over 2,000,000 points with the Gold card but was then capped. I then upgraded to the Platinum card and earned points for 1 month and was then capped again.

So when I saw this business card I thought it had no limits like some of the other banks business cards. Seemed too good to be true and it was. I don't know why Citibank think their business card is so "exclusive".

Time for me to jump ship elsewhere.

Thats not a bad effort, considering the advertised cap is about 60,000.

You could look at the commbank Plat card.
For $200 you can earn 150,000 points before capping.

I was fine until I made a large redemption. I had enough QFF points from other sources so just let me Citibank points accumulate. Shortly after I made a large redemption I was capped. So seems like it is a manual process.

150,000 is not worth the effort as some months I can spend more than this. I think I will get a business card that has unlimited points and sacrifice that it earns only half a point or so per dollar.

Has anyone managed to get the fee waived on the citibusiness gold card?

From my experience if you call Citibank you can only speak to a monkey. I think the call centre staff have extremely little authority so I wouldn't bother trying as I doubt they can do anything except read a script. Maybe if you threaten cancellation they can put you through to someone who has a little bit of authority to do something but I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Umm, that is basically what I am asking...

Have a look at the westpac earth Platinum then
Earth Platinum Card Features and Rates

1.5 points per dollar on amex and 0.5 per dollar on mastercard.

This way you get everything on the one statement with only one bill to worry about.

Well you would have needed to have the card for over a year and be spending a substantial amount on the card every month.

You would then call cancellations and tell them you are thinking of canceling the card as the fee is up for renewal and were wondering what they can offer you to keep the card.
