Citibank bank and Shell is joining forces and will be introducing their new Credit Card, the Shell Citibank Credit Card. With this card, you can save money on your fuel purchases at any Shell Stations up to 10%. This Double Rebate offer only applies if you had apply for the Shell Citibank Credit Card before 13 January 2008. The Double Rebates only valid within the first 60 days from your cards issuance.

There is two way that you can apply for the Shell Citibank Credit Card, that is the “Call Me Application” and “Self Service Application”. For those who apply using the “Call Me Application”, you will get Free Reebok Backpack and 1 year fee waiver. As for the “Self Service Application”, there will be a RM50 rebate on your next Shell purchases.

There is a calculator that you can use to find out how much you will be saving with the Shell Citibank Credit Card. Select the type of credit card that you are using, fill in your Carried Forward Balance and your Monthly Fuel Spending. I use the calculator with my Carried Forward Balance of RM6000 and Monthly Fuel Spending of RM180, which will give me an annual savings of RM64.80.

What I like best is their next offer where a Shell Citibank Card member can buy a HP Compaq Presario Notebook worth RM1,999 for only RM799! Of course the specification are that good since you can only get it at RM799. The specs are Intel Celeron, 512MB memory, 80GB HDD, DVD/CDRW Combo Drive, 15.4” WXGA TFT, FREE DOS. Do note that there will be a delivery and processing fees of RM150.

For those who are planning to making money or even buying stuffs online, I would suggest using PayPal. I have been using PayPal to accept payments as well as buying items from eBay for quite a while now. Most companies have multiple choices for making payments such as checks, bank transfers and online payment processor.

I would prefer using online payment processor as I hate waiting for the one month period for the check to be clear. There is also the high fees to process overseas checks as well. Since it is so easier and faster to setup a PayPal account, I do recommend it if you are planning to do make some money online.

After you have sign up, make the necessary confirmation of your email, bank accounts and credit cards, you may use your PayPal to receive and send payment with it. Do take your time and browse through your account to learn what you can do and can’t with your PayPal account.

In the most recent news with PayPal, they have now allow more than 26 countries which previous have difficulty in withdrawing money from their account. This is a good news to them as they have been waiting for PayPal to allow them to do so for a very long time.

Those in the listed countries can now withdraw to their credit or debit cards instead of withdrawing to a bank account. Many have written regarding this good news and some even tested out various credit and debit cards to see which ones are allowed to be used with PayPal. With this move, I’m sure more people will sign up with PayPal and use their service.
