Effective 16 November 2010, Citi's clear platinum does not award 5x Citidollars for Ez-link top up anymore. The most annoying part is Citibank does not make any announcement about it, they quietly remove it. When you check your rewards points, then only you realise the Ez-link top-up does not earn 5x Citidollars...
But the good news is: WEF 1/1/2011, Maybank awards 10x tr’eats Points for Ez-link top-up!!! But the thing is, you need to pay S$10 annual fee (subject to GST) for the annual Rewards Infinite membership. But it is worth it. Because with 2 S$50 Ez-link top up, you get 1000 t'reats points and you can redeem a S$10 t'reats voucher for your Birthday month!!!...

Ez-link can also be used as payment mode at 7 eleven, Guardian, Giant, Shop n Save, Singapore Post etc...hence indirectly you earn 10x rewards!!

You need to have more $ in your Ez-link card than the amount you wish to purchase for the transaction to go through. If you have S$5 in your Ez-link card, and you want to pay S$5.50, it will not go through.
Every S$50 top up earns you 200 KrisFlyer miles!!! (A convenience fee of S$0.25 is chargeable for each EZ-Reload top-up transaction)
