Citi Premier Card Travel Benefits
First, it’s important to note the breadth that the travel category covers. Not only does it include any airline or hotel, but also tours, gas stations, public transportation, taxis, cruises, tolls, campgrounds, and even boat rentals!
International travelers will appreciate the lack of foreign transaction fees, which is an effective savings of about 3%. Plus, the card has EMV chip technology to make global transactions secure and hassle-free.
They will also love the insurances offered with the card: trip cancellation and interruption protection, worldwide travel accident insurance, worldwide car rental insurance, and lost baggage protection.
You also have access to a global concierge team 24/7. If you need help purchasing tickets, booking tables at restaurants, or making trip arrangements, the concierge team will be there for you anywhere in the world.
Finally, the ThankYou Points you earn with the Citi Premier card are transferable to a range of travel partners that cover all air alliances and many major international airlines. You won’t have trouble finding a way to use your ThankYou Points!
Other Citi Premier Card Benefits
As a cardholder, you also get to choose the due date for your monthly bill. You can pick any available due date, whether it’s at the beginning of the month, end of the month, or right in the middle.
With the card, you get access to Citi Private Pass and Apple Pay, which can be nice features if used frequently. Additionally, you get Citi Price Rewind, which acts as price protection within 60 days of purchase.
Additional insurances include damage and theft purchase protection and extended warranty.
