This is a Co-branded card from Citibank. It’s in association with the Times Group.And it offers benefits in a specialized area.
(1) The Times Card is now free with no annual charges
(2) The card keeps bringing varied offers which are unique. Like, one can redeem the points earned ( 1 point earned for Rs 150/- spent ) for tickets of latest movies in multiplexes all around the city, or for tickets of theatre plays or other events. There are many options and the venues are spread all over the city and hence one can choose the most convinient place.
(3) The points can also be redeemed in the normal fashion using the rewards catalog.
(4) You can visit https://timescard.com for other various offers on Dining, Entertainment, Shopping etc. Some of them are really wonderful. For instance, a flat 25% discount on movie tickets in certain Multiplex theatres across the city. The best thing is that you are charged exactly 75% while making the payment and there is no issue of reversal of charges.
(5) Plus, the surcharge is waived off if the card is used at Indian Oil petrol pumps for fuel purchases
On the whole, if a person likes to spend a considerable amount on movies, then this card can be very useful as there is no limit on the number of tickets that one can buy.
I am situated in Mumbai and wonderful offers are available here. Hence I will suggest to check out the offers available in your city before you go for this card.
As I have mentioned, this is a co-branded card with specific benefits, I would recommend this card as an auxillary card.
As far as I am concerned, I got this card for free with no annual charges, and I have been using it for 3 years now. I have never had any bad experience with the customer care. I have benefitted from the card on ticket purchases majorly and the weeky offers.
