4.  Register

a.  How do I register?
After installing the application and agreeing to the Terms and Conditions you would be asked for five fields i.e. Mobile #,  First Name, Last Name, First Citizen # and Country. Once you enter these correctly, you should receive a text message (SMS) containing a verification code. Enter the verification code and you’re done.

The verification code is for your safety. It is to ensure that no other person installs the First Citizen application with your details on their phone

Yes you will since the Verification Code has been explicitly requested by you

d.   What does the de-register option do?
This option wipes out the five fields entered by you during registration i.e. Mobile #,  First Name, Last Name, First Citizen # and Country from your handset.

e.   My current Mobile number is not updated in my First Citizen Profile. Can I still register?
At the time of first registration your mobile should match the one in your profile info. If this is not so, then please get it updated at the Customer Service desk at your nearest  Shoppers Stop store. Once you have the application you can use it to update your personal details anytime it changes.

Soon after you get your Citibank Co-brand card, you’ll receive a Text message from Shoppers Stop. At that time simply re-register with your New card number

g.   What if I do not update my Citibank Co-brand card number in the application?
No problem, we’ll still recognize you at the store even if you quote one of your older card numbers. Any profile changes you made will reflect against your new card and your points balance will still be updated with details of your latest purchase

Using your existing mobile number, just go to the profile section of the application and update the new mobile number. You should receive a verification code on the new number. Type in this verification code on your handset and you are good to go.

d.  Why can’t I see any promotions in the Promotions module of the First Citizen application?
