Happy New Year Everyone.
Premier Miles card has changed for the worst. According to the new fixed value redemption process effective 1st Jan 2013
A Bom-Del flight on 10th Jan is now 15000 odd miles on LCC like GoAir including all taxes. In comparision to the 8400miles+tax in miles required until 31st Dec.
Miles required henceforth will now be related to the cost of the ticket. Redeeming miles directly from Premier Miles portal doesnt seem good value any more esp for travel within next 3-4 days.
Yes one would argue. When the airlines drop prices the miles required would also be reduced. But in my opinion this leaves no consistency within the product Citi is offering. How does one know when the airlines are going to drop prices?
They were horrible with International redemptions anyways and even more so now onwards. For eg. Its 60500 miles for a one way Bom-Lhr on BA all taxes included on a random date in March. This is a joke lol.
Lucky were those people who took up the 30% bonus miles BA offer.
Time to transfer all miles to one of the FFP and possible say Goodbye to "Not Anymore Premier Miles Card"
