However, due to work commitments and time constraints, customers have begun to seek out holiday planning solutions that give them choice and convenience at their fingertips. This is why Citibank has designed an exclusive program with Travelguru for our cardmembers aimed at ‘enhancing the joy of being with family’. Making the proposition even more compelling and a sure win for our customers is the handsome reward point advantage."
