I am sure you qualify but just wanted to mention that Diners Black has an income requirement of about 30Lacs (that's what my RM told me) & have heard Citi Prestige is about 40 Lacs (citi prestige users can comment)

Also for Dinersblack you may have to go through your RM

True, plus I always prefer booking directly with the airlines instead of an OTA; however this 10x scheme trumps any of those thoughts.
