Excellent. I hope they tie up Amazon too. The service is so much better with Amazon.

Exclamation

I read this on Citi website:

Get Double the Miles
If you are a Frequent Flyer Program (FFP) member of any airline, and you book a ticket on it using your Citibank PremierMiles Card, you earn Miles for the ticket purchased at 10 Miles per Rs.100 rate. Plus, you acquire your regular FFP Miles for flying that airline. That's twice the joy at half the price.

I am confused , I will get miles for flying in my FFP but the miles I will get from Citi would be Citi Miles ... which can be converted in 2:1 ratio to FFP miles ..which in short effectively means 5FFP miles per Rs.100 .

So basically its not really "Double the miles" right?

I am very new to this so pardon me if it seems something silly but I really wanna know if what I interpreted is right.

What you interpreted is correct. You would get Citi miles which you can convert to your FFP at the rate decided by Citi.

They are just hyping it up. Its not double the number of miles.
You just get a second bite at the cherry.

Also the miles you earn from the flight will usually be based on distance flown, whereas Citibank miles will be based on spend. And worth knowing that the airlines you can transfer Citibank miles to are limited, so you're not necessarily going to get them all added up in one scheme.

It is just a marketing jargon to hype the benefits.

Hi, Etihad sent out this email about their 25% bonus miles offer. Link for the offer is http://www.etihadguest.com/25

This says transfer ratio from Cit PM to EtihadGuest is 1:1. Please someone confirm. Citi is clueless about this offer. Also, do we get 25% bonus on 1:1 ratio ?

Thanks a lot.

Hi, Please suggest best program to transfer points from Citi Prestige to book RT economy award tickets from Mumbai-Toronto. I am also fine booking revenue economy tickets and upgrading to Business. Please suggest, which one will offer best value.

Skyteam is poor ex-BOM, so Delta/Air France are out of question.
For Star Alliance, SQ offers fair redemption rate but charges fuel surcharges.
AI can't piece together multi-sector itineraries as one as of yet.

BA for Oneworld also charges exorbitant fuel surcharges that make economy award pointless.

9W is probably the worst in terms of user-friendliness for partner redemptions.

In your case, I'd actually go with Etihad for flying economy. Reasonable chart and very good availability.

It is likely that the offer has nothing to do with Citibank and Etihad is offering the bonus to all transfers in (irrespective of whether it is from Citibank or other partners). It might be better to check with Etihad if you want to get full details of the offer.

Citi seems better than all the other cards available in India in terms of points transfer. New to the points game in India. They have many partners across the regions. Any of you have used apply-cancel-reapply in here and how effective it is.
