The Citi PremierMiles Card<\/strong> is one of Singapore\u2019s most established miles credit cards \u2014 often recommended as a starter travel card for Singaporeans earning S$30,000 and above<\/strong>. It earns 1.2 miles per S$1 locally<\/strong> and 2.2 miles per S$1 overseas<\/strong>, with Citi Miles that never expire<\/strong> and 11 airline and hotel transfer partners<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this 2026 review, we break down what the Citi PremierMiles card is<\/strong>, how much the annual fee really costs<\/strong>, whether the 30,000 miles welcome bonus is worth paying for<\/strong>, and how it compares against popular alternatives like UOB PRVI Miles<\/strong> and Citi Rewards<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll also cover an increasingly important question for Singaporean travellers: when does it make sense to use a miles credit card like Citi PremierMiles \u2014 and when is a fee-free multi-currency card like YouTrip<\/strong> the smarter option overseas?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
