Citi has introduced two new credit cards, Citi Rewards and Citi Premier, in the UAE, that offer a range of benefits to meet customers’ travel and lifestyle needs.
The new products join Citi Prestige, which was introduced in 2015, and complete the Citi Rewards product line.
The new credit cards offer a rewards programme, Citi ThankYou Rewards, in which customers are automatically enrolled.
The reward programme gives the cardholders full flexibility to redeem the points directly for flights, hotels, and a host of merchandise ranging from fashion to electronics and obtain substantial travelling and lifestyle benefits.
Citi UAE chief country officer Dinesh Sharma said: “This launch in UAE represents a very important step for the Citi strategy that pursues best in class product benefits and customer experience, as well as alignment of products and programs that leverage global economies of scale.”
Furthermore, both credit cards offer point transfer to 16 airlines and hotel partners at a 1:1 ratio. Cardholders can manage their rewards on a special portal available within Citibank Online banking, thereby ensuring full security of their transactions.
