Citi X Grab

Just last week, I attended an event that looks like it might have me applying for another credit card simply for the benefits and the perks. Citibank and Grab Philippines have teamed up to offer even more benefits for individuals who are already using credit cards and the Grab app and want to take advantage of both platforms. Citi X Grab has me excited to learn how these two well known and trusted companies can make my life easier.

Admittedly, as much as possible, I try not to use credit cards. But because we live in a technology driven, app laden world where we have to be able to multitask and do it well, I of course, have a card that is used for emergencies and online purchases.

CONFESSION: There are days in my life when I completely feel like I’m failing, but then there are also days where I feel like I hit the jackpot.

Because BALANCE.

Days when I hit the jackpot usually involve me being able to leave the house for work, fit in time to write, manage to cook dinner, and spend time with Nino and my kids. Some days fitting all those tasks in also means that I have to balance the cars, the schedules and carting the kids to and fro school, sports, and study groups. Shucks my head is spinning right now, thinking about all of that.

These mommas…

I can do all of these things with many helpers. Helpers in real life come in the form of angels on Earth, apps that help me manage my deliveries and pick ups of my big kids in college, and apps that help me organize my life. 

In my virtual world I was able to zap gold coins in order to win. If only it were this easy…

One app that has slowly become a necessity in #TeamGellibean’s daily life is Grab. When the kids are out, or when I have meetings, or when someone wants milk tea, we have used Grab again and again to meet our needs and our wants.

So why does the partnership #CitiXGrab excite me?

Well, it’s the first of its kind here in Southeast Asia. 
YES, the Philippines got it first!

This co-branding of a sleeker new card (that is not embossed) feels so millennial yet has all the tradition and dependability that Mastercard has offered all of us for years.

Once you are approved for the credit card, you can:

  • immediately be upgraded to Grab’s platinum membership tier for 6 months
  • avail of exclusive offers on every day services through Grab
  • earn up to 10x points on all your spends
  • earn 3x points on dining, entertainment, and online subscriptions, while all other spend will earn 1 point for every P30 spend
  • avail of 12 FREE Grab rides upon sign up equivalent to P2,500 worht of GrabPayCredits upon spending the first P10,000 within 60 days of using the card.
  • also get FREE Grab vouchers worth P2,000 when they use the card to top up their GrabPayWallet with at least P1,000
  • enjoy zero Membership fees for principal and supplementary cards for the first year
  • go cashless for greater convenience when using Citi points to pay for Grab services
  • take advantage of easier and seamless points redemption

Citibank and Grab have had a longstanding relationship providing rides, deliveries, discounts to restaurants and perks of using your Citicard in conjunction with your Grab app since 2016.

Both Citibank and Grab executives are excited about this new option for their customers.

So doesn’t it make perfect sense for them to take the partnership one step further in providing better discounts and upgrades for people like us who will use both of these platforms for convenience?

If you would like to apply for your own CitiXGrab credit card visit https://www.citibank.com.ph/gcb/creditcards/grab as early as June 17th to fill out the online application. And because time is precious when you live #LifeInTheFastLane, your application process will take as little as 7 minutes. Yes. That fast. That convenient.

I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Th I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Through this learning exercise with @usapeecphl, I have learned a bit more about these little birds that have bigger breast parts, and thank you Chef @ivoryyat for showing me how easy it is to prepare Greek Lemon Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Potatoes.
 
Clean and fresh flavors are perfect for these smaller birds that are rich in protein with zero carbs. Try the recipe in the comments section. I’m sure you’d enjoy it as much as I did!
 
Interested in U.S. Cornish Hens? You can buy them in stores near you. #CornishHen #USCornishHen #PoultryPerfection #CookingWithUSPoultry #USPoultry #USAPEECPHL #ad
@gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @pura @gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @puratosph products that they sent over the other day. Ready to use Bavarian Cream made these Cream Puffs easier than ever. I think we have to figure out how to temper our couverture better…

@mommymundo always has a way of bringing together @mommymundo always has a way of bringing together just what we need, no matter the time of year. Loving these photos of my first boy that were snapped @expomom.

Anyone else thinking about #HolidayPhotos? I am not one of those moms that has it all together before Christmas. It’s usually a mad dash for us at the end of the year, but if it’s anything that the past few years has taught me, it’s that the little things are what makes the Christmas special.

Many of us haven’t been together with the extended family or even our immediate family in so long. That means it’s the perfect time to document.

@nextbymetrophoto will be hosting one last Christmas Marathon family photo shoot before the end of year. Check them out or shoot them a message. They have some cute set-ups.
****GIVEAWAY ALERT*** 10 things I LOVE about @sed ****GIVEAWAY ALERT***

10 things I LOVE about @sedahotels listed here and on FB!

1. Each property has a Signature Dish. If you can’t make it to Bacolod, you can still enjoy Chicken Inasal in any of their properties.

2. Clean Design. So easy to work and play in a space that is light, modern, and clean in design. 

3. Beautiful views. Every chance I got, I would sit outside at @straightupatseda. 

4. Spacious Rooms and Residence Stays. Staying in the Three Bedroom Premier was perfect for our family. 

5. Attentive Service. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating.

6. Centrally Located. If you are thinking of fun things to do in Makati and want a home base, Seda Residences Makati is near a few of the museums, parks, and malls.

7. Work with ease. Internet service is uninterrupted. Meeting rooms are available and easy to book.

8. Relax and Play. From mid-day tubbies with Gelli to, taking advantage of the pool, or the children’s room, the little girl had more than enough things to keep her busy!

9. #FamilyTime. Spending an extended amount of time outside our own space led to laughter, fun conversations, and opportunities to try new things. We were comfortable and rested in the space we were in, which meant more opportunities for us to connect.

10. Homegrown with a Purpose. A Filipino brand that understands the importance of both work and travel, each property is important to the city & province location. Environmentally aware by adopting Mayumi, a Philippine Bald Eagle. 🦅

Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at this time of year? Whole turkeys require serious commitment to cook. #IYKYK But because U.S. Poultry is now available here in the Philippines, that also means preparing turkey is a tad bit easier.
 
Frozen U.S. turkey products are available and ready to cook for people who want to dabble with flavors for this bigger bird but aren't sure how.
 
Thank you to Chef @ivoryyat for putting together a medley of my favorite fall flavors. This combination of apples, sweet potatoes, and maple syrup perfectly compliment  the roasted turkey leg and remind me of flavors and scenes from back in New York. 
 
@usapeecphl l has the highest standards that follow USDA requirements which are certified safe before shipping to the Philippines. Get them in stores near you.
