Yeah same too! -
PremierMiles seems to be consistently fast in transfer. My last transfer took less than 24hrs, while my UOB transfer has still not gotten through after one whole week!
All that UOB could confirm with me was that they have succesfully billed me on the same day I made the online redemption.Comment

As a follow-up... my UOB transfer finally came through. Took 14 days to be credited. Apparently, UOB completed the transaction within 48hrs but KF took another 12 days to process.
Citibank's PM transfers have consistently been fast. Often within a day or two end-to-end.
I asked KF why the huge difference in processing time within KF. According to the person I spoke with, they process transfers from different banks "differently". Wonder what that meant.
I'd dump UOB if not for the fact that I have to use it for most of my business transactions. PM is still consistently the best (for me, at least). Decent miles per dollar and fast transfers.Comment

Transfer into your own KF account, elect them as a redemption nominee, and you pay for them out of your own accountComment

Now you guys can redeem Asia miles the same rate as the rest of the FFPs.Comment

Today they introduce the Amex version, better earn rate. More airlines partners and even hotel partners for conversion.
There is a chance that the Amex version will replace the Visa. Hopefully they don't do that.Comment

Citi PM AMEX replaces VISA!!
AMEX replaces VISA!!Originally posted by j.lin View Post
It's really a very bad idea to launch the Citi PM AMEX card. 1.4miles/S$1, I can use ANZ Travel card. VISA somemore.
2 miles/S$1 for overseas charges same rate as the Citi PM VISA card! Worse is, I cannot use it to pay bills at AXS machines!! And no Asia Miles conversion!!
1 more thing: Citibank awards points to the nearest $, ignore cents. If charge S$19.90, ANZ Travel card gets: 19.9x1.4=27.86=27 miles. Citi PM AMEX card gets: 19x1.4=26.6 miles.
And if you have both the VISA and AMEX version, your Citi Miles are in separate accounts and not combined. Hence you have to pay the S$25 admin fee twice!!
You can keep both the Citi PM VISA and AMEX version.
BUT you cannot use the AMEX version at AXS machines to pay bills, that's where you need it for insurance premiums payment like Great Eastern Life.
Don't use this card for foreign transactions, I'm sure the admin fees are very high, just like UOB PRVI AMEX.
Note that miles cannot be transferred to Asia Miles!!
Card transactions effected in foreign currencies which are processed by American Express will be subject to an administrative fee of up to 3.3% on the converted Singapore dollar amount, of which up to 1.5% will be retained by American Express.
Conclusion: Not a good card!! ANZ Travel card wins hands down!!Last edited by vsepr; 20 October 2013, 02:13 PM.Comment

BIG DISCOVERY!!!
For EVA Air's Infinity MileageLands now that the miles & points can be transferred from Citibank cards, for itineraries within Asia, like SIN-Korea/Japan, you only need 50,000 miles in Business Class!!! Strictly for EVA Air flights only!!! If involves Star Alliance carriers, it will be the same as KrisFlyer, 80,000 miles!!
WOW!! I can fly on EVA Air Hello Kitty flights & Royal Laurel class flights at 30,000 miles discount!!

That's very good for round-trip indeed. More than triple for non-Asian itineraries, however

Sorry to go OT, but does BR charge YQ? Might have missed that part when reading the T&Cs.Originally posted by vsepr View PostComment

Not bad, anyway I heard you can only have Royal Laurel Class for long haul which the seat is not fantastic after trying it.Originally posted by vsepr View PostComment
