TYPs is a complicated program with limited transfer partners. Citi has now reduced both the earnings rate and the usage value, and they recently imposed brutal confiscations of points without explanation, including at least one case with no apparent abuse.
I have better ways to fill my time than playing this game of limited value.

so anyone have any idea id any of these changes are going to trickle down to the prestige cards? Maybe not, since it seems like the point of these changes was to get people to pay for the higher AF prestige card...

Also, not offering a card for 3 months due to "exciting" changes in quite..interesting.
Why not announce the changes and state that they start in October? Maybe they will be grandfathering some features and want to avoid a rush?
Part of me hopes this has to do with AA (supposedly) coming out of bankruptcy in September and needing to wait until its official to announce transfers or something. That would be exciting.

Compare ThankYou Card Rewards
This website does not list the 15% discount or the free companion flights:
https://online.citibank.com/US/JRS/p...ouCompareCards
When you follow the link to apply for the Preferred and Premier cards they are offered only as Visa. I think this is new.

Annual complimentary domestic companion ticket is valid within the continental USA. Passenger is responsible for all fees, taxes and charges incurred in connection with the Companion Travel and 15% Travel Plus discount. Details will be provided upon cardmembership.
Nothing on flight points though!
BTW: so what does this mean for the Thank You card, it's not included in the matrix.

I hope this is the case as well. My AF is due in Oct and the only way I will pay it again is if Citi makes some sort of announcement that AA will become a transfer partner. Have over 140K points waiting for the AA thing to become reality.
