Do any of your cards have free travel insurance?

Hi Colin,


Thank you for leaving a question with Finder.


You may refer to Citi credit cards with complimentary travel insurance. On the page is a comparison table you can use to see which card suits you. When you are ready, press the ‘Go to site’ button to apply.


If you are open to any cards that come with complimentary travel insurance, see our list of credit cards with complimentary travel insurance.


Before applying, please ensure that you meet all the eligibility criteria and read through the details of the needed requirements as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you. You can also contact the provider if you have specific questions.


Hope this helps! 😊


Kind Regards,

Mai

If I want to have $5400 as transfer amount does that mean I need to apply for $6750 so it’s 80% of the approved limit? I would like the interest free to apply to the full amount of the transfer amount

Hi Narsh,


Thank you for getting in touch with finder.


Please note that credit card issuers will decide on your credit limit based on a variety of factors including your income, credit history, personal circumstances and sometimes even the card that you choose.


You’re right that if you are thinking to transfer your non-Citibank credit card balance of $5400, your Citi Clear Platinum’s credit limit must be $6750 or higher since this card’s balance transfer limit is 80% of available credit limit. Please have your other credit card details as balance transfer is part of the application process.


I hope this helps.


Thank you and have a wonderful day!


Cheers,

Jeni

If we close the Balance transfer credit card within the first year, is there any closeout fee?

Hello Mahbub,


Thank you for your comment.


Closing a balance transfer credit card generally has the same steps as closing a normal credit card. You must make sure that all balances are paid before contacting your credit card issuer regarding your intention to close the card. If not, this may leave a mark on your credit file.


You can check our guide on how to close your credit card account.

Hi Lorna,


Thank you for getting in touch with finder.


This Citi Clear Platinum credit card’s current offer is 0% p.a. for 14 months on balance transfers only. If you do a balance transfer and did not pay the BT balance in full after the BT period of 14 months, the remaining balance will charge an interest of 21.74% p.a. Now, if you make purchases you are charged at 12.99% p.a. unless you keep paying your monthly bill in full on or before its due date.


I hope this helps.


Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any other enquiries.


Thank you and have a wonderful day!


Cheers,

Jeni

Hi Prashaanth,


Thanks for reaching out.


Just to confirm, are you interested in applying for the Citi Clear Platinum credit card? If so, you can directly apply from their main page by clicking the ‘Go to site’ button above. Please note though of the list of requirements of the card above and make sure you meet them.


In case you’d also like to check other low-rate credit cards aside from the one offered by Citi, you can use our comparison table to help you find the card that suits you. Feel free to compare the cards in the table by interest rates and annual fees. I suggest that you check and read the T&Cs of the card before you consider it’s the right one for you.


Hope this has helped.


Cheers,

May
