Our Verdict
I doubt the Citi cash back will post properly as it’s obviously meant for Indian cardholders, but even better deal if it does. Make sure you double check rates to make sure you’re getting a good deal before you booked, I looked at a few rates and they were significantly cheaper than competitors after applying the promotional code. Let me know if you found any good deals in the comments below.
