c.) airline and travel website spend (which earns 10x on Citi)
I have both cards, and if trying to boost AI balance, I am debating between which card to direct most spend to...
AFAIK, the SBI-AI Signature varient gets you
20 FR Miles per INR 100 on AI spends, while, the Platinum varient is same as the CitiPM, i.e: 10 per INR 100.
Besides the above difference, the
CitiPM points have lifetime validity until they are on the card. This gives you the option to tranfer to AI as-and-when need basis.
Also, CitiPM had a specific promo with SQ KF miles- They got 20% bonus for all transfers. This would be too good to give up, if only on AI. (One can always hope..!
