This seems a bit shady considering that I earned it in 2025 (although T&C only posts it on the anniversary date) and my anniversary date is on 4/15/2026 which is before the date the card changes to Citi. The card has not even changed brands yet and I'm still using it. It seems like I'm not getting the companion certificate that I was promised in 2025 when I hit the 20k threshold. Hmmm.
If you plan on using it for 2 companions, I'd definitely push back on that. (I always just use mine for 1 companion, so it doesn't effect me...but I wouldn't stand for that if I did intend to use it for 2 as it said 2 when the annual fee was paid)
