I posit that the main reason for pulling it may be that they want to change its name, because of confusion with Chase higher-end cards being called Preferred.

In that case, it would be because the name of the card stunk, not because the card itself stunk.

And remember, Citi is pulling because of what it thinks stinks about it, not because of what you or I think stinks about it.

Also, keep in mind that there's a separate no-AF TYP card, the Citi AT&T Access (not-More). Maybe they plan to merge these two no-AF TYP cards together? Who knows?
Citi edited the name of the Premier without removing it from the site. I don’t really see why they would have to remove the Preferred from the site just to change the name,
