EDITORS' CHOICE: Best Introductory
Offer
The Citi® PremierPass(SM) Elite
Level MasterCard
The Citi®
PremierPass(SM) Elite Level MasterCard® has a special offer that gives you 20,000 points
when you use the card for $600 in purchases within 3
months. That is enough to earn a free roundtrip ticket
anywhere in the Continental United States worth up to $400 on
any airline at anytime. Just check for a fare of $400 or less
on Expedia.com, call Citi's redemption center and they'll book
the flight of your choice. Or, you can use your 20,000
points for a $200 gift card from your choice of many
retailers. You can

PremierPass(SM) Elite Level MasterCard® using this

We generally
find the PremierPass card's $400 flight for 20,000 points one
of the best values in mileage awards, because there are no
restrictions. Simply find the flight you want, and as long as
it's roundtrip, $400 or less, and
within the U.S. it's yours to book. Citibank
then buys the ticket directly on the airline, but deducts your
points rather than cash for the cost.
Rewards
with similar flexibility in a traditional airline miles
program often require 50,000 or more
points making this an exceptional value. We were also skeptical about
their telephone booking service, but have always found it
to be reliable with very short wait times and agents who know
exactly how to book the flights.
If you want 2
roundtrip tickets, have your travel companion apply for a card
separately.
The credit card carries an annual fee of $75, but the
value of the introductory bonus is significantly higher than your first year's
fee.

How
you earn points In
addition to the generous bonus offer, you can earn
points faster than most miles credit cards. $1 spent
on the card = 1 Thank You point. "Everyday" purchases
like groceries and gas earn 2 points per dollar spent.
You also earn points for every mile flown when you use
the card to purchase plane tickets<
/STRONG>
. This is in addition
to the miles you earn in your airline's frequent flyer
program.
Points
aren't just for domestic
airline tickets
You
can redeem points for flights anywhere in the world,
in both coach and business class. As
always, you choose the flights and times.
You can also use points
for things like statement credit and gift cards at many top
retailers giving you maximum flexibility for
redemption.
Free companion
travel The card also offers the
opportunity to receive a free companion ticket on domestic
flights you book with the card. The catch there is you
need to purchase your flight at a minimum fare level, so you
might want to double check that buying two tickets at the
cheapest fare is more than buying one ticket at the
higher fare, and getting the free companion
ticket.
