Citi Singapore Clear Platinum Card Facebook Game
Citi Singapore has been using a social media game to increase use of its Citibank Clear Platinum Card and build a social media community among its card holders. Customers earn points by checking in to the Facebook game and by using their card. Points earned from check-ins and card usage are posted on the site so players can compete with each other to earn prizes with their points.

"Getting people to participate in a game is one thing, but getting people to use products and services is an easy way to measure success," Cohen says.
