For premier miles, is the choice is only to buy tickets from airlines?
If so which airline would be worth to buy?

Any feedback?

For the AF waiver, you guys just call the Citi to get the waiver before its been charged? (my AF is expected to be charged in June).
I am not sure if i can use my accumulated points to pay them. This year i guess i might kena AF as i didnt spend much on my premier miles. Any tips to get AF waiver.

okies...thanx for the advice. ;-) cheers

Pay AF using your points then. :-)

you can opt to pay 50% points and remaining cash.

try your luck, mine been waived without much effort (spending too much.... shhhh....) :-D

not everyone is lucky.
sometimes u reject their offer, they will still ask you to pay. or end of the day you may just want to cancel your card.

If you buy air tickets using this card, you get travel insurance by citibank.

yes thats right.
especially those who do not have a separate travel insurance can opt to get here.
just an option.

For citibank Premier Miles, did they increased the spending minimum amount from 50k to 80k in order to get annual fees waive?

That is what i thought until below:-

Got an SMS on 24th Nov 2020 that reads
Your annual fee for PMiles Card is waived when you spend a min. of RM80k within 12 months.

So i wonder if this is the new requirement. Previously i was told by the citibank officer that RM50k spending per year to get waiver.

True they having being waiving for me all the time.
But this time they explicitly sending sms, so i wonder is it got to do with Covid impact on banks.
Anyway, just sharing with you guys.

You guys already know that the PM Visa card will be changed to PM Master card?
I received an SMS like a week ago, but only noticed it today. (maybe you guys are aware of this earlier)
I am just little concerned about mastercard acceptance rate with merchants.

Aik. I thought i am the latest to know about this.
I saw the sms accidentally (ill try to see if i can attach that sms here later), its because my PM Visa going to expire in coming months, so they need to issue me new card. In the SMS link they mention, from now onwards no more Visa cards for citibank (except 5 types of cards). Below is the link with more info.

To reconfirm i called the citibank CS yesterday, they confirmed that from now its going to be mastercard and no visa. Maybe they are rolling out for new customers, existing customers still can use Visa.

They changed it for you or you requested for mastercard? (i am guessing that CB also changing from Visa-> Mastercard)

Yup, they are rolling out with Mastercard when your card expires only.
I dont know, i feel im so used to VISA. Not sure switching to mastercard is good or bad.

Requested Citibank to waive my annual fees.

This idiot CS was lecturing that they no longer do waiver as its new policy and need to use my points if they want me to offset the fees.

Man....i never used the card for travelling for years since covid. Yet they have audacity not to waive the fees!!

Have you guys gotten waiver?

Even thinking if i should apply other bank card.

Anticipating traveling from this year, since borders are opened.
Ive been constantly using this card as my primary card.

Dude....i meant about using their benefits la.

PM is my main CC.

I am interested to know as well.
Main things i need is the lounge access and free taxi ride from airport.

Received mail via a post on the migration of my Citibank saving account to UOB.
Dont think I want to keep a saving account in UOB, planning to cancel it.
Meanwhile, my PM CC...i think ill maintain it for now.
