Details
Citi has finally launched a new travel portal that is powered by Booking.com. This portal was supposed to be launched earlier, but it was delayed. However, yesterday it finally went live, and it’s a big improvement over the old system. The old system was so bad that it’s hard not to be an improvement.
This portal is essentially a rebranded version of Booking.com. You can use it to book flights, hotels, cars, and attractions. However, we did notice that in some cases, the prices on the Citi portal were higher than those on Booking.com.
There are several reasons why you might want to use this portal. These benefits were all previously available, but they are now more easily accessible through the portal:
- Prestige cardholders can get their fourth night free on hotel stays twice a year.
- Premier cardholders can get $100 off hotel stays that cost $500 or more once a year.
- Prestige and Premier cardholders can earn 10x points on the portal. Rewards+ and Preferred cardholders can earn 5x points.
- If the new Strata cards are launched, they may also offer some sort of portal benefit.
Citi also offers great sign-up bonuses for their Checking/Savings accounts.
