    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.

      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.

        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

                      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 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.
