I actually already have citi Premier, are those points the same as points earned with Prestige? Both are called Thankyou points.
Yes
Can you pls give a downside of United MileagePlus credit card? Both Citi Prestige and AMEX platinum have very annual fee, even with the transfer credits.
another option I was considering is Chase Sapphire Reserve...
And CSR doesn't have high annual fees? If you want lower annual fees, then Citi Premier can't be beat, but it's 3x only.
USB Altitude Reserve also very good card, with $75 effective AF and 3x (4.5% cashback) return, but no transfer partners. Also rumored Altitude Connect will have 4x, and I hope that points will be transferable to Reserve, so they will also be 1.5c, but this will add $95 AF, so to break even compared to Reserve, you will need to spend $6333 per year on travel, although there is rumored streaming credit of $30, which I think is mostly useless, and first year is free.
