What is the conversion rate nowadays with this card?

What are the benefits of the ITC Culinary Plus plan?

I think they were trying to sell me on it a few times in the past - but can't remember how much it went for separately...

I have found the ITC Sonar in CCU pretty awesome in most aspects, but the food wasn't that great.

Heard good things about the food at the ITC Maratha, which is a potential use of the plan...

dont worry, this month sometime the new benefits may be out. else you can always pay up and then cancel, and get a refund on your fees

Look at this: https://www.online.citibank.co.in/po...privileges.htm

they have removed the details of the jet tieup... though the headline is still there.
