I think a big part of the problem is that many normal people dropped the card after the loss of Admirals access, 1.6 cpp AA redemptions, and golf. The transfer partner list is also not one that normal people would find convenient. Citi reduced Prestige to a card that largely appealed to people who knew the benefit terms and/or used exotic transfer partners. That's probably a pretty savvy and unprofitable customer base.
