Credit cards
Citi is having an insane $400 cash offer for new Citi cardholders, its highest cash gift yet. This is slated to end 15th August, so tell all your family and friends. Speaking of which, it’s a good time to pick up Maybank Family and Friends or Platinum Visa too, since Maybank is offering a rare sign-up offer with Singsaver.
