Citibank PremierMiles Credit Card is one of the best offerings in the credit card market of India in the travel category. If you’re a frequent flier (particularly a frequent domestic flier), you can not go wrong with this card. It is a reward points-based card, you earn reward points as AirMiles (or just Miles). Although these Miles can be redeemed for multiple shopping purposes, you get more value on redemption against flight/hotel bookings with partner airlines/hotel chains or on Citibank’s PremierMiles portal. These Miles can also be transferred to other airlines/hotel loyalty programs. Citibank gives you 10,000 Miles as a signup benefit and 3000 Miles every year when your card membership is renewed. You earn 10 Miles for every Rs. 100 spent on flight bookings or on the bank’s PremierMiles portal. All other transactions earn you 4 Miles per Rs. 100 spent. Other travel benefits include 32 domestic lounge visits every year with the Visa Signature variant and 24 domestic lounge visits per year with the MasterCard variant. However, you don’t get any international lounge access with this credit card. Read on to learn more about Citi PremierMiles Credit Card.
