But people are reluctant to change, once they have a card in hand, and that is what citi is playing at.. the first mover advantage..

I have got as many as 4 calls from Citi in less than a week, to convert my card.. I told them to hold off..

I am waiting to see 9W's new partnership, assuming it comes by 30th June.. else I will switch.. I am not very happy with PM's product offering as of now..

Good review. Is it clear that JACCs will be grandfathered in at INR1K annum fee for ever or is it just an introductory offer for the 1st year

As well as on hotels - sometimes almost 10% extra if you book on MMT.

Thank goodness they haven't been calling me - I think I gave them a real piece of my mind last time the dimwits called from Citibank...

HDFC Bank and Amex?
I hear that HDFC Bank and American Express are the frontrunners... for the new card(s). one is good news and one not so much! ... will keep you updated!

Amex would probably offer more perks but no one wants to accept them anymore.

Ultima card holders continue to get their Jet Airway privileges as before.
50k miles and Platinum Tier with associated benefits.

Its Rs.1000 after the the first year too. May be they thought that was one way of keeping the customers.

I'm just trying to max out some Jet miles on the Citi card until the last day.

Do you think that I can change to the Citi PM card (even though I think it's a hopeless option, just like the AmEx Plat card) on the last day itself?
