A taste of the Citi at Greenbelt

Responding to greater demand for top-notch dining in the metro, Citibank has made it even easier for cardholders equipped with posh palates to truly enjoy an adventurous evening of eating out on the town.

Through Citibank Dining Privileges, a program launched in early 2010, Citibank cardholders are guaranteed the best deals when dining at over 1,000 restaurants in the Philippines and 5,000 restaurants and outlets in Southeast Asia. Filipino Citibank cardholders get the same fabulous freebies and extras they can enjoy in the exotic culinary landscapes of Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia as they can find in participating outlets nationwide.

Citibank Dining Privileges works on an extremely simple concept: diners need only look out for any restaurant or outlet that carries the Citibank Dining Privileges sign, and they are essentially assured the best in dining deals. An awesome incentive to dine accompanies the program for as long as diners use their Citibank Credit Card. Before placing an order, diners simply tell the server that they will be using their Citibank Credit Card, and if another credit card offers a better deal, Citibank will reimburse the difference. In short, you’ll always get the most amazing payment options for dining, and if you don’t, Citibank still guarantees that you get to have your cake and eat it, too.

Friends and family can enjoy nights out on the town with free treats or deep discounts at Greenbelt establishments under the Citi Dining Privileges, which offers diners deals that can’t be beat.

“We know our cardholders love dining out. They enjoy going to restaurants with family and friends on almost every occasion year round. To make sure they get the best dining experience and value for their money every time they go to a restaurant, we came up with the Best Deals Promise,” explains Bea tan, Citibank Credit Payment Products head for the Philippines. “It assures cardholders that if another credit card offers a better deal compared to what we are offering, we will refund the cardholder the peso difference. Therefore, they do not need to worry about getting value for money given the attractive discounts and complimentary treat they receive simply by using their Citibank Credit Card at partner restaurants.”

These incredible offers may already be enough to entice you into rounding up your friends and families for a fantastic dinner out, but diners who patronize particular restaurants get even more appetizing extras. “Apart from the discounts and freebies, cardholders also have the chance to win a food-tripping holiday in New York when their dining bill reaches P2,000 at Greenbelt restaurants,” says Tan.

Diners who use their Citibank Credit Cards at restaurants in Greenbelt, Serendra and Bonifacio High Street stand a chance to win holiday packages and other exciting prizes.

Every single-receipt purchase of P2,000 entitles a diner to one Citibank New York Holiday Promo Raffle Coupon. Simply fill out the information required on the coupon and drop it off at a Citibank New York Holiday Promo Drop Box found at participating restaurants before Jan. 15. Prizes include 10 winners of “Dine On Us” packages, which offer chances to win back dining transactions of up to P10,000 charged to your Citibank credit card, and two thrilling vacations inclusive of pocket money food trips at select Citibank Dining Privileges Partners: a four-day roundtrip to Hong Kong for two, or the grand prize of a fabulous 10-day New York roundtrip for two.

The biggest factor in picking out a place to enjoy with your friends and family at Greenbelt will simply boil down to the difficulty of deciding on where to eat given the veritable spectrum of cuisines, cultures and price ranges available. Decisions, decisions!

“I’m very proud to say that we haven’t gotten any call from our clients, which means we do offer the best deals, so this promise is not really needed. Nonetheless, we continue to make the offer, to show our cardholders we are confident that Citi is indeed the most rewarding card to own,” adds Tan.
