At LiveFromALounge, Citi PremierMiles Card has been an old favourite of ours, given it was one of the first airline-agnostic travel credit cards launched in India, and till date has a massive fan following. Not just that, PremierMiles is a great way to enter the Citibank Credit Cards system before you want to elevate to the Prestige at some point in time.

When you make an application via this link, you will additionally receive an Amazon voucher for INR 1,000 when you complete the spend of just INR 5,000 within 60 days of card issuance.
Bottomline
Citi PremierMiles has been one of my favourite credit cards of the lot for a very long time, and I like this new promotion that is out to give more benefits to new Citi PremierMiles subscribers at the moment. Citi PremierMiles Card points don’t expire, and they transfer to 14 different airlines, which is arguably the most you will see in India for any card.

Makemytrip removed the option to use citi reward points for payment option which was available last year which is bad. Looks like citi is not interested in credit card business. As there are no multiplayer offers, no milestone benefits nor any annul fee waiver offered on this card. Been using this card for 2 years feels like amex platinum travel and hdfc regalia are far much better option than this one.
Thanks to you I recently applied for amex platinum travel card using link provided by you.thank you for the link and enjoy the reward points
Thanks i went with the platinum travel too
