Emirates Citi Platinum Card

[Flight777]

Hi,

Could anyone tell me if they have the Citibank Emirates Citi Platinum card.

With 1.5 ponits per dollar is there any other master/visa card with as good rates?

Is skywards a good frequent flier program?

THanks.

There is an earlier thread here:

And info on the Skywards / Virgin Blue alliance here:

Surprising lack of interest around here ... certainly given the Qantas situation I'm thinking of switching. I do < $100k / year spend and $199 is money I would be spending on an amex card to get 1.5 points/dollar anyway. Except using this I would never have to worry about shops refusing amex cards. I am crazy?
