Currently lots of people are debating on keeping the card, as the miles will no longer count for MILLION MILE status. There's some speculation that Citi will have to do something with the card, as members are downgrading or dropping the card.
ditto ... and in my case, I came very close to 3M Million Miler Miles AND I wouldn't have kept EXP status for next year if I hadn't had the Citi Exec card this year. So, in effect, having the card was like taking a relatively inexpensive mileage run with Admiral's Club thrown in.
