Imagine indulging on tempting entrées of baked salmon or baby back ribs with a siding of crispy calamari soba noodles. Then, you sink your teeth into a heavenly dessert of mangoes and cream torte with a special iced tea drink to refresh your palate. You might think this is culinary nirvana, but it’s just the icing on the cake as you can have this delicious meal at 30% off with your Citi card.
This is just a sample of what Citi cardholders can expect when they dine at Felix Restaurant during weekends as part of the new Citi Dining Privileges, another pioneering program from the world’s largest and most trusted credit card issuer that will surely excite cardholders’ palates all year round.
Citi Dining Privileges is a cross-border dining program which promises cardholders the best dining deals at over 1,000 dining establishments in the country and in over 5,000 dining locations in the Asia-Pacific region.

In an intimate – and truly gastronomic – launch held recently at Felix Restaurant, Citi country business head Sanjiv Vohra said that with Citi Dining Privileges, “we make sure our cardholders get to indulge in exciting dining offers that satisfy their passion for food and give them the most rewarding dining experiences every time they use their Citi cards.”
Apart from Vohra, present to share with guests this exciting news were Citi executives: Bea Teh-Tan, cards business head; Cecille Fonacier, country marketing director; and Alma Gruenberg, usage marketing and acquiring business head.
At the launch, Tan explained how cardholders can enjoy the best dining deals anywhere in the world, with just their Citi cards. “We’ve partnered with more restaurants in over five countries – the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Thailand – where they can enjoy preferential treatment and dine-for-free specials, complimentary treats and discounts.”
And with the program’s Best Deal Promise, Citi gives cardholders an exclusive offer when they dine in local partner restaurants, which enables them to get a reimbursement from their dining bill if another credit card offers something better than what Citi offers in any dining establishment that carries the Citi Dining Privileges sign.
During the launch, Chef Florabel Co, who is one of Citi’s partner chefs for the program, prepared them an exclusive Citi menu composed of the restaurant’s bestsellers, which guests enjoyed with the specially concocted guyabano-based Citi iced tea that will also be included under the offer.
The menu is part of the Citi Weekend Special Offer for cardholders dining at Felix, where they can enjoy 30% off on these entrées and a free appetizer for a minimum spend of P2,000.
The Citi Dining Privileges Program will be offered until June 30, 2011. For the complete list of restaurants where you can enjoy the best dining deals, call the 24-Hour CitiPhone at 995-9999 or visit www.citibank.com.ph.
