Citibank had launched a Double your Miles promotion in November 2013, where the top 5000 registered spenders were going to get upto 50,000 extra PremierMiles. The miles were going to be credited to the accounts of the top 5000 spenders by the 15th of March 2014. So, last night, I checked into my account by sending a text message “Rewards xxxx” to (+91 9880752484) where the xxxx were the last four digits of my Citibank PremierMiles credit card.

Reminder: 1 week to register for the Citibank “Double your miles” promotion
In the beginning of November, I had written about the Double your Miles Promotion that is available on Citibank PremierMiles credit cards issued in India. Under the current version of the promotion, the top 5,000 spenders for the period November 1, 2013 to January 31, 2014 would be eligible for double PremierMiles (upto 50,000 PremierMiles), which would be credited to their account by March 15, 2014. However, this is an ‘opt-in’ promotion, and hence you need to pre-register by 31 December 2013 to be able to take part in the promotion. Do note, that regardless of what date you register, your spends between November 1, 2013 and January 31, 2014 would count to decide the winners. Do look out for…

PremierMiles 50% extra miles bonus have posted
Citibank had offered a 50% bonus miles promotion for spends in August and September 2013.

On Friday, Citibank credited the bonus miles to everyone who was eligible, and yesterday they sent out emails to this effect with the details to everyone who got miles. I personally loved this promotion, since I did not…

Now, this is over and above the other miles you’d earn using the website for your reservation. My link is here. You could also post yours in the comments section. For me, PointsHound became really useful now because it has JetPrivilege on the list, which is my preferred mileage…
