In theory, collecting Skywards Miles that you can claim for flights, shopping gift cards, and plenty of other fun perks sounds like a fantastic idea.
But after years of hopping around the world and painstakingly stacking up your frequent flyer miles, you find out that you only have enough points to redeem a flight to Armenia... Perfect.
In reality it takes a ton of air miles to trade-in a decent flight. It's an even slower process if the miles service you're signed up for has an average rewards rate in the market.
If you love travelling or you need to fly out often for work, you'd want the best possible perks, benefits, and comfort to maximise your trip and your spending rewards.
Citibank partnered with Emirates to offer a credit card that will gift Dubai residents with premium rewards while travelling and purchasing.
Each time you spend with the Emirates Citibank Ultima card, you're receiving the best possible air miles rewards in the region. Before you check out the exceptional offer, here are 4 things you should know before applying for the credit card:
