Shopping, entertainment and mobile-payment rules

  • 8.1X Shopping is based on assigned merchant codes covering department stores, apparel and accessories, shoes, watches and jewellery, leather goods and luggage, cosmetics and selected specialty retail.
  • 8.1X Entertainment covers selected merchant codes for pay television, digital audiovisual media, games and software, cinemas, theatres and ticket agencies, and amusement parks.
  • 2.7X Mobile Payments applies to eligible HKD retail transactions made in Hong Kong through Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay at merchants outside the 8.1X categories.
  • A mobile payment that also qualifies as Shopping or Entertainment earns 8.1X in total; the extra-point programs do not stack.

Points cap, timing and redemption

  • The Shopping, Entertainment and Mobile Payments programs share a cap of 113,400 extra points per card account per statement cycle. The basic 1X continues after the cap.
  • Extra points are credited within three months after the transaction is posted. Points earned under the base program do not expire.
  • Principal and supplementary card transactions under the same account are combined under the principal cardholder’s account.
  • Citi rounds the points calculated for each eligible transaction to the nearest whole point. Aggregated calculator estimates may differ slightly from transaction-by-transaction rounding.
  • Current reference values are 270 points per HKD 1 cash rebate or 15 points per mile. Points Transfer has a HKD 200 fee and a minimum 18,000-point conversion unit for Citi Rewards Card.
