Citi offers travel
inconvenience protection

No traveler would want to experience delayed or missed flights, nor delayed or lost luggage. Yet these things happen. How to make sure that you cope well when it strikes? Simple - take out travel inconvenience protection.

Insuring against travel inconvenience has helped passengers around the world survive losing their wardrobe when thousands of miles away from home, or a missed flight which would have meant sleeping in the airport.

Travel accident insurance has also become mandatory for most passengers who want to be prepared for any eventuality. Again, this is another dent on your travel budget.

"We looked at the needs of frequent travelers and travel protection ranks high in the list. Aside from the expense, there is also the inconvenience of signing up for one each time you travel," related Bea Tan, Cards Business Director for Citibank Philippines. "This is why we built in this value feature in our new credit card, the Citi PremierMiles. With the new Citi PremierMiles, frequent travelers won't have to shell out extra for travel insurance as they can now get them absolutely for free."

Just pay for your travel tickets using Citi PremierMiles and you'll get free travel inconvenience and travel accident insurance.

The world's largest provider of credit cards recently introduced the ultimate travel companion for frequent travelers. Citi PremierMiles offers the easiest way to earn miles and total freedom to choose how to use them while giving you a host of travel-related conveniences for a stress-free and safe travel including free travel protection.

Get travel accident insurance for as much as P10 million when you purchase your travel tickets using Citi PremierMiles. The best part is, your travel accident coverage starts from point of departure until point of arrival, giving you complete security and peace of mind when you fly.

Travel inconveniences such as missed or delayed flights, delayed luggage or worse, lost luggage don't have to worry you anymore when you pay for travel tickets using Citi PremierMiles.
