Has anyone tried Citi Premier Miles Travel Insurance by AXA, what would be your say about its efficiency and does it covers the basics?

In my opinion, this card is one of the best cards in the market especially as there are no expiry date to miles earned and an amazing 2 VIP airport lounge access. I love the fact that the card can be used for major big ticket items and to clock mileage. Redemption can be done easily without hassle and customer service staff are very helpful

In my opinion, this used to be the best miles card around primarily because of the little to no restrictions on the types of transactions eligible for miles. Unfortunately this is no more based on the new card agreement on their site, a whole bunch of transactions are now excluded from earning miles. Excluded transactions include any top-ups or payment of funds to payment service providers, prepaid cards and any prepaid accounts and also bill payments will also be excluded.

The Pros that stand out for me with this card include the fact that the card is good for general spending while miles you accumulate with this card do not expire while there are many miles programs available for conversion. The card offers high miles per dollar for selected merchants with a free lounge pass yearly. Finally I just love that the card also comes with basic travel insurance. On the other hand the cons is that the card is not as fantastic if you are accumulating miles for large ticket items.

This is a good card and getting approval took me 2 days and was generally hassle-free. I like that the points with the card don’t expire and I am quite blown away by the many promotions and discounts for flight, hotel, dining and shopping. I don’t know if my mind will change in a few months down the line but at the moment, I have no complaints using this card.

Too bad that it takes such a long time to convert transactions to miles while some daily transactions like top-up Ezlink card won’t be converted to miles. I am really not crazy about miles but I am willing to hold on to this card for its renewal miles bonus of 10,000 miles - $1 to 50 miles. Best deal I must say and the miles do not expire. In conclusion they have a decent miles earning though not the best.

I would recommend the card for use by people who frequently purchase clothing and electronics and also in particular from known on online merchants like AliExpress, Amazon, Lazada, Shopee and Taobao.You get 10X points when you shop at retails for babies and children's wear, clothes, bags and shoes, department stores, electronics and gadgets; which cover almost all retails. Also the OCBC Reward is a $10 rebate for 3600 points which I think is fare.

So it is really convenient that I can get and use my card instantly when I apply via MyInfo. And the cards instant digital card that can be used for mobile wallets, online and mobile app purchases. Now aside from the same day physical credit card issuance for online applications you also get S$50 cash rebate upon approval with no minimum spend required. However that is only for new OCBC Credit Card applications.

The Citi SMRT card is a pretty decent card for spending but they unfortunately exclude travel related online merchants. This to me is the downside of the card and may be a reason to get another card for travel websites.

For me nothing beats the 5% year-round cash rebates on dining, groceries, petrol and transport (that is taxis, ride hailing, trains and buses inclusive), locally and overseas when you spend minimum S$600 per month. And the cash rebate is capped at S$150 per month. So if you don’t drive, not to worry as you can enjoy 5% cash rebate for your transportation needs, be it a taxi ride, a booking made via ride hailing apps, or trains/buses.

OCBC Voyage Card is perfect for well-off consumers with a shifting travel schedule, who want to earn high miles locally and overseas. Consumers earn 2.4 miles per S$1 spend overseas and 1.2 miles on general local spend, which aligns with similar cards. Consumers are most likely to benefit from OCBC voyage card if they spend most of their budget locally, with at least 25% of local spend on dining.

This card offers a few thrills if you are one for accumulating miles as you can earn 1.3 KrisFlyer miles for every S$1 equivalent in foreign currency spent overseas on eligible purchases up to S$3,800 each month. On such purchases above S$3,800 each month, you can earn 2 KrisFlyer miles. Furthermore the card allows earnings of 1.3 KrisFlyer miles for every S$1 spent locally in Singapore dollars on eligible purchases up to S$3,800 each month. On such purchases above S$3,800 each month, earnings are 1.4 KrisFlyer miles. Highly recommended for those who seek to accumulate miles.
