Yeah, funny how that change happened (to the initial consternation of many AM cardholders) just a few months ago, and now it looks like a good thing. But of course Citi can just play whack-a-mole with the different categories.
I value MR points more than TY points, but I'd still prefer 3 TY points over 2 MR points. Plus BBP is capped at $50k annual spend, right?

I asked Plastiq about Apple Pay support a couple months ago, with USB AR specifically in mind. Their response was that they're interested in offering it, but it's not currently a focus, "stay tuned." I'm not holding my breath.

They're about the same now.
You'll still get 1500 points for every 1000 TYP transferred to Hilton, and 800 points for every 1000 TYP's transferred to Jet Blue.

I value the AmEx transfer partners a bit more (e.g., ANA). Also, going forward AmEx can cash out at 1.5 cents for travel (with Bus Plat) while Citi can only cash out at 1.25 cents for travel (with Prestige).

the one you signed up for is not the "Access More" version, this one has different rewards.

Do you need the AT&T-specific benefits?
Because from an earning perspective, the Citi ATTA is now a "useless" card IMHO. It only earns 2x TYP in certain categories (and unreliably), while the Double Cash card now (effectively) earns 2x TYP on absolutely everything (so there's no worrying about what will count for 2x and what won't count for 2x).
So I don't see the point of bothering with the ATTA card unless perhaps you need one of it's AT&T-specific benefits.

As to your original question, in case you didn't see it already:
Say goodbye to Virtual Account Numbers at Citi?

I'd be skeptical that someone can cycle their credit on ATT any more than they can on the DC.
They're all running off the same technology backbone.
Even the Citi Retail Card services, although customer interface is different.
