The card itself gets you into the Admirals Club, and two weeks after you are approved, they give you a Priority Pass card, good for all Board Rooms. If you spend $3K in the first 3 months, they also give you 50K thank you points, which can be transferred to many airline programs, although not AA or AS.
Google CitiPrestige 50000 and you will find the application page. Many other benefits as well.
Kind of. With the Citi card you need to have an AA issued boarding pass, not codeshare to use the Admirals Club benefit. Looking around this appears to me moderately enforced.
