The Barclays card has an enormous credit limit (that I never get even close to using), and the Citi card not as much, but again I don't need even what they offer. I rarely spend more than $1K per month on either. (I got the Citi card just to take advantage of the AA miles bonus, but now it sits unused)
Benefits that I like are the expedited boarding, free bag check, extra miles for AA tickets, and no international fees. The Barclays card also has a PIN (very useful abroad), not sure about the Citi card.
So to the experts - if I had to ditch one, which one would I keep to retain the best suite of benefits?
Thanks
That depends on what each card actually offers for benefits and what you value. I have both for specific reasons that may be meaningless to you.
It does not appear you actually know how much each card costs you and what all it’s benefits are—you might consider logging into the account for each and pullIng down the current member benefits to make your decision.
cheers!
