Citi card customers in five Asian countries can now «pay» for their Spotify subscription using their credit card points and miles. 

Citi credit card users in Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Hong Kong and Taiwan can now use their credit card points or miles to redeem Spotify's premium subscriptions. 

The regional partnership with Spotify is a first for the bank and the tech firm. The move is part of Citi's aim to offer more flexibility and convenience for its card users under their Pay with Points program.

 «By partnering with Spotify, we further expand our presence in digital ecosystems where our customers are active while continuing to increase the value that our credit card points and miles offer,» Sergio Zanatti, head of cards and unsecured loans for Citi in Asia Pacific, said in a statement.
