Transition-Related Notes
• Members are starting to receive Priority Pass Select cards in the mail. These are sent by Collinson via USPS, separately from the rebranded Prestige cards.
• There was a decimal rounding error in the ThankYou point accounting on October statements. Remove a 0 from each of the totals reported - it should then match
• Members who signed up prior to 10/18 still only receive a $250 airline credit for the year; if you previously used the $200 incidental credit, you can get another $50 in airline purchases reimbursed through December.
• If you signed up before 10/18/14 you are eligible to receive the 15% discount and companion benefits for a year after your signup date. Call Citi at 877-288-2484 and ask to speak with a travel specialist, rather than letting them send the information to Spirit Incentives for an email quote. There are mixed reviews as to the efficacy of this service.

After that, the banker was still skeptical but allowed me to fill out the application.
Told me it would take about 2 weeks to get the card.

JFTR, my SO got her GE fee reimbursed by Prestige. I already had GE, so we applied for her GE and it was covered.

For example, if your December statement was on 12/14/2014, all purchases on/after 12/15/2014 would be counted towards 2015 quota.

If the travel purchase is refunded, does Citi claw back the travel credit reimbursement?

Is there any way to get the 60k offer in an area outside of the Citibank footprint? The area I'm in (Seattle) doesn't have any branches. Has anyone had any luck getting the offer over the phone or should I call a branch out of my area?

Finally took the plunge and am approved for Citi Prestige. I look forward to transferring the 30K TYP to 45K HH. I also like access to AC again. The $250 for airlines is great. While some benefits duplicate Amex Plat, there is still enough distinctive benefits to justify the remaining $200 fee, at least for the first year. Also, bundled with Citi AAdvantage MC and Citi Hilton Reserve makes this a total package for me. I have never had a bad experience at a Hilton and relatively no complaints with AA.

Newbie Question
Used Advanced Search without success: Does anyone know the following?I intend to purchase tickets for various attractions on Viator.com. Will Viator code as a tourist attraction for the 2X TYP with the Prestige Card?
