** Is my logic above flawed? Why don't more people use Citi Premier? **

There are a few hard core supporters of the Citi Premier, yours truly included. I think most people compare it to what it used to be, rather than against the current crop out there. I personally find the TY program (for flight redemption) hard to beat...but hey, thats just me.
