I agree with the general consensus that it is unlikely to become an Amex though. I suspect that the current card will remain a World MasterCard and the new card will be a World Elite.
I agree with you.... I highly doubt that the best product in the history of Citi has the Chairman card paired with MC ...I doubt that would leave the pairing and go with AMEX -- a direct competitor -- also how do you make any sense of the fact that Amex would cannabilize the Centurion with a Chairman (v2)....makes absolute no business sense...
I also think that a lot of Chairman customer got away from Amex...now if Citi goes back to Amex, then very few people would sign up for that card...
If citi goes to Amex for their best card, I will get it only if the flight points are still available...if not then I prefer to keep the current Chairman Card...
