I contacted Prestige card customer service to transfer the points in PM card to Prestige card. The guy told me that it could not be done as the cards are not linked. Both the cards are showing up in the account summary page. He said I should have requested for a link up when I applied for the card which I wasn't aware of when I applied for the card. Even the guy who came to collect the application form didn't mention it.
I tried explaining it few times but the CS guy was adamant that this could not be done. This would also mean that I couldn't close the PM card and would be paying fees for that as well.
I have lot of points and wonder what could be done to transfer the points.
Thank you.

That’s an interesting f-up on Citi’s part. They don’t allow individuals to hold multiple cards AFAIK. I’m surprised their system didn’t spot that.
Anyways to fix your problem is simple. Cancel your Prestige card right away. Reapply for a new Prestige card and this time make sure you’re swapping cards. Once again you don’t need to fill up any paperwork, calling the Prestige helpline should be enough.
Any fees you pay for your existing PM card will be prorated and refunded to you which you can use to adjust against your Prestige card fees so you don’t lose at all.
And your points swap is automatic if you do a card swap. There’s no need to call them. You will have to call them for a bunch of other things though including PP, Taj vouchers and so on.
If you have 2 active cards obviously you can’t switch points between the two. The CSR was correct.

Thank you. I have already received PP and have requested Taj epicure membership and ITC vouchers. I have also used the card for a week and Citi generated the first statement as the statement date is 17th of the month.
It seems a bit of long winded process to cancel and reapply in view of the above and so will keep both for now. Will use the PM points for booking at premiermiles website which seem to be the best way to use them at 50 paise per one PM.
Thank you for your help.

Does anyone have a link to the hotels.com page for making Prestige fourth-night free hotel bookings online? The one I had has stopped working. Does this mean they've withdrawn the ability for cardholders to make these bookings themselves? Calling the concierge is a pain.

But you should certainly call Citi & check with them. Maybe they're offering the benefit directly now?

Well, they always offered it directly, but that was a pretty unsatisfactory process. You needed to send in a list of hotels you were looking at, dates, and other details, and they'd get back to you with quotes. I never actually left it up to them to recommend hotels - I've heard that people who did didn't exactly get the best results. Also, they never ever came back with refundable rates. On the Visa Promotions page, you could easily find refundable rates for pretty much every hotel you were looking at.

I've taken quotes from them a few times but never booked through them. It's a painful service.

I always thought that it was pulled from hotels.com... till they built the landing page with Visa. Either ways it was a horrible process where they take 2-3 days to give you a list of 3-4 hotels that you don't want. And yes almost all are non-refundable.

80k points = 320k miles. You can fly a good distance with those points. Best redemption really depends on what you want to do. For long distance SQ will generally have better value (and be cheaper, much much much cheaper on SQ metal). But why are you looking at those airlines? Your approach is wrong.
You should identify where you want to go and then see which airline best suits you (including availability). Not the other way around.
