How do international refunds work through Citi. Say if I billed $2000 @ 70 = 140,000+ 3% currency mark up.
Now I guess I will get the refund at the current rate of 67 odd but do they return the 3% or so fees that they charged too?

Everything including the markup fee gets refunded at the prevailing exchange rate at the time of reversal.

when i got the refund it was only inr 79k....i called sbi to ask why i had received inr 7k less & they said they would open a complaint file & someone would call me back....a couple of days later they called & the explanation they gave was that i was charged the foreign transaction fee for the charge & again on the refund so that is why i received 7% less....that made no sense so i questioned that again...they refused to budge from their stance in the end so i ultimately lost out on inr 7k....

If I book 3+1 night using citi concierge, do I get elite benefits like free breakfast?
i am wondering if I book using citi, I may end up paying more for 8 breakfasts (4 nights x 2 persons) than I will save in free night.

rate inclusive of breakfast is a separate thing because at most properties that will be a rate different from rate with No breakfast.
Like everything else, another thing to calculate before using 4th night free benefit.

I just read on Marriott forum that citi prestige is treated as corporate agent and we can get points and all other benefits. I don't know if that is just for citi USA or citi India works too.

My friend booked through Citi and got the email direct from the hotel. Citi India books through hotels.com so your booking will be treated as a third party booking.

Citi USA has the ability to book direct through the hotels website. So you can essentially tell them to go to Marriot.com and book a specific rate on there so hence why the hotels allow benefits as the booking to them is like normal booking through the website.

I know.... I called up the concierge in the USA as I thought they could book for us too but they can't. I was able to direct him to the website and the rate that I wanted and he found it. Its a pity as the hotel directly were offering a much better deal then hotels.com.

this way the user not only gets elite benefits but also hotel points for the fourth night.
