A royal shopping treat for Citi cardholders

Get a chance to visit London, explore its sights, shop like a VIP, and get an exclusive peek at Marks & Spencer’s 2009 collection with Citi’s latest promotion.

Until Jan. 31, 2009, Citi cardholders have a chance to win an all-expense-paid shopping spree to London in the Citi Royal Treat promo. The grand prize includes roundtrip tickets for two plus six nights’ stay at a luxurious boutique hotel in Marble Arch. The winner also gets US$5,000 shopping money and an exclusive invite to preview the 2009 Marks & Spencer collection; a tour of London’s shopping mecca — Oxford Street; and a limousine tour of Westminster landmarks, Knightsbridge, and Notting Hill. 

Other prizes are two P100,000 shopping sprees that can be spent at Rustan’s Department Store, Stores Specialists, Inc., Marks & Spencer, Debenhams or Zara and 10 Rustan’s special gifts worth P30,000 each.

Prefer instant rewards? Cardholders of Citi Classic and Gold Visa and MasterCard, Citi Visa Platinum and Citi PremierMiles can opt to earn Triple Rewards Points instead of raffle chances for all their qualified shopping purchases during the promotion.

 “Through the years, our promotions have become a reflection of our unwavering gratitude to our cardholders for their loyalty to Citi,” said Bea Teh-Tan, Citi cards business director. “And that loyalty has served as our inspiration in coming up with more novel approaches in our promotions. Citi Royal Treat is definitely another innovation that allows us to show how much we value our customers: by giving them a free hand to choose the prize they would enjoy best.”
