CitiBank Clear Card -Advertorial-

Ever been to a restaurant and end up more embarrassed than ever?



Maybe you don't relate to it, but ever found yourself in such a situation?

You're on a hot date with a girl you really like, and when it's time to foot the bill for dinner, you valiantly whip up your debit card and hand it over to the waiter..

"Excuse me sir, we only accept credit..."
"It's OK, I'll pick it up, no worries.." (the girl says)

*at this point, you want to dig a hole in the ground*



Or maybe you want to book tickets for a show that's just about to open - it's a hot show but you don't have a credit card!!! So you can't book! You have to go down hours before to ensure you get tickets, on many occasions, the best seats have already been taken up by the ones using online booking! *ahhhhhhhh*

What happens if I lose my card? What if I overspend?
Safeguards and Measures
1. Card is automatically blocked once cardmember misses his/her payment
2. Credit limit is capped at $500, credit line is manageable (Compared with debit cards which avail cardmembers to their entire deposit or to amounts several times that of $500, or supplementary cards which avail the entire principal cardmember’s line of credit_
3. Low credit limit makes this a controlled way for young adults to start to learn and use credit in a responsible manner
4. ‘Use credit wisely’ tips that serve as a useful guide for those who are new to credit

Last tip: When dating someone, please be tactful, if you can afford to foot the bill, that's nice. But it's not neccessary (to win girl's heart).. I won't be able to help if you make a boo boo like this!
