There are 5 types of card that can officially earn AVIOS
Dahsing BA ($6/miles; $4/miles for overseas）
Citibank Prestiage (Same earn rate as Asiamiles, i.e. $6/miles; $4/miles for overseas)
Citibank Premiermiles (Same earn rate as Asiamiles, i.e. $8/miles; $4/miles for overseas)
HSBC Premier (Same earn rate as Asiamiles, i.e. $16.67/miles; possible to enjoy 6x)
AMEX (non-CX cards) (Same earn rate as Asiamiles, $15/miles or $7.5/miles if joined turbo program)
*HSBC Premier cardholders can redeem Reward cash in other card account for AVIOS.
Prestige is slightly better than Dahsing because of its year-end bound feature, which gives you at least 5% more miles.

Yeah
Or what I and the missus (plan to) do is to churn every year. I applied this year and gave her supp cards, I cut and she applies next year and gives me supps. That way not only do we enjoy 30,000/$2,500 we also get $2/mile earn rate or whatever additional PM+Prestige new joiner promo there is.
It helps we're still two income.

Also, the 2 night bonus stay is only for those who have no Citibank Credit Cards currently?

For the welcome offer, it seems they have changed the T&C again and revert to the 2013 summer version (that's when I apply for the card)
http://www.citibank.com.hk/global_do...dc-master.html
The above welcome offers are only applicable to customers who currently do not hold and / or have not held any principal card of Citibank Credit Card and / or Citibank Private Label Card issued by Citibank and / or principal card of Diners Club Card issued by Diners Club International (HK) Limited ("Diners") within the past 12 months from the date of issue of the Eligible Card ("New Customer").(Except designated customers and applicants of Citi Prestige Card)
On the other hand, some also mentioned that the free resort is quite lame.

Does the $6/mile of Citi prestige card apply to AAVS of Octopus card?
Also, is supplementary card free?
