Samsung A8 Star (2018)

Yesterday I went to SenHeng store located in SS2, PJ after I redeemed some SenHeng/SenQ vouchers from Petsmore using my member points. 

After I found out that it is free to sign up SenHeng membership program with Citibank credit card privilege, I was happy to sign up for the membership. I bought a new phone Samsung A8 Star because with the new membership with Citibank credit card, I entitled total of 3 years of warranty period and at the same time I can get EZ Credit Rebate 20% + 5% (Black Friday Sale) from the original price of Samsung A8 Star which is RM1799, for the next purchase.
