I can't see how Citi still comes out ahead with cards such as the Double Cash, Citi Costco and the Prestige (before its recent benefit reduction). Their match simply doesn't add up. They likely have wafer thin margins but make up because of immense volume of $$$ run on those cards.

What "other" changes??????? They recently actually increased benefits on many cards including the period of extended warranty and the amount of coverage for trip cancellation insurance.

The AA lounge at LGA requires you to pay for even snacks. So other than seating, what purpose does this lounge serve anyway?
