UOB PRVI Miles Platinum American Express® Card

[Kyo]

Yup, they still give 10,000 miles if you pay the annual fee of S$192.60.

Don't know what happened. Ask Citibank.

I've spent over $50k over the last 3 years and every time they've insisted that despite my high spend, I still have to pay the annual fee. Which I do, since I like the 10,000 miles bonus.

Gives me even more reason to dump PremierMiles and move to PRVI.

[ycp81]

since I would not spend more than 50k in a year, I guess I would stick to citipremier miles, which offers 10,000miles for renewal. Citi has also just upped the game by offering 2x miles for all overseas spending.

Citi has also just upped the game by offering 2x miles for all overseas spending. =??

U mean Citi Premiermiles now let you earn 2.4 miles for every S$1 spent for overseas charges? Where u saw the promotion/advertisement?

Yeah for Citi Premier Miles, if you ask for annual fee waiver they will take back the 10,000 miles. So essentially you are buying 10,000 miles for $192.60

This is what I got from their web

Earn 2 Citi Miles with every S$1 overseas spend.
Earn 1.2 Citi Miles with S$1 spent locally; 10,000 bonus Citi Miles upon renewal.

so not really 2x bit 2 citi miles intead of 1.2 when you spend overseas

[vsepr]

I searched the Citi PM website, cannot find "Earn 2 Citi Miles with every S$1 overseas spend.".

Can advise the link where you saw that? Thanks

vsepr, I think you may be seeing your cache version. I see the same screenshot as lingua101

Yup, I went the application site and saw that, thanks:
https://www.citibank.com.sg/gcb/form...e=premierMiles

2 Citi Miles with every $1 overseas
spend, and 1.2 Citi Miles with every
$1 local spend (no minimum spend
required); 10,000 bonus Citi Miles
upon renewal

But if I have Maybank Horizon VISA (5x points for overseas charges = S$1 = 2 miles), I would prefer to use Maybank because Maybank round up the points, anything greater than S$0.50 gets you 1x5 points.

Say the final S$ after conversion is S$9.50, for Citi PM, you get 18 miles, for Maybank Horizon VISA, you get 50 points = 20 miles!

There is half page ads at toda ST on Citi Premier miles.

It says it has fast-tracked immigration privileges. Is this new benefit? I have the crds almost 5 years come this August and I did not know about this benefit...

Citi Premier Miles to ROP

Has anyone tried transferring miles to someone else's ROP account before? I read somewhere that there was previous success but can't remember where.

FX fee is high

Be careful with this card - it has a double whammy on overseas charges. First, it converts all amounts to US dollars, then does another conversion to Sing$. Then it adds the Visa charge - 1%, and another FX fee of 2.5%.

Those are very expensive miles you are collecting.

and forget privacy

and don't be in a hurry

25$ for every redemption request and 3 weeks to process.

Seems like the Amex PPS card is a better deal if you are crediting miles frequently - automatic transfer each month without charge.

[disclaimer] I do not have any relationship with a card issuer - just tend to read the fine print.
