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.

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.

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.

The delivered on the promise of purchase Protection of up to 90 days when ensured reimbursement on an eligible online purchases I made with my Amex Express Gold Card. Irrespective where you buy online or shopping at the local supermarket, their Purchase Protection offers repair, replacement or reimbursement on eligible purchases made with the Card, that has been damaged or stolen within 90 days of purchase.

My family had a really fun time with the 10% off Siam Adventure Club Family Package Booking which came with breakfast for 2 adults and up to 2 kids with a Kids room setup in room and full access to kids activities. We even enjoyed daily evening drinks for whole family on selected menu from 5pm to 6pm.

I fancy the OCBC 365 credit because it has cash rebate of $80, but only after you full fill their criteria. They require a minimum spending of $800 per month which in turn earns interest from different spending. This card suits me just fine being that I have broad spending habit and in the process it gives me $80 cash rebates every month. My only dislike is the rebate on the general spending which is 0.3%.

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.
