Once again reported that all links with sign up bonus are dead. Reported on Dec 5, and again on Dec 10.
Reported on Nov 4, 2017 that no offers for a Prestige card with any sign up bonus at all exist anymore. The links below do not work. Even if you get to a landing page, the link to the app page will list either "page not found", or "system error". You might want to check back at some point, since the sign up bonus for the Premier disappeared for a while, and is now back (although for only 30K instead of 50K).
Prestige Cards have a $450 annual fee, not waived first year.
There is also an additional fee for each additional user.
Top Prestige Card Offers
1) 75k Bonus Landing Page after $7,500 spend in 3 months. $450 fee Not Waived first year
2) 50k Bonus Landing Page/rightclick/incognito mode after $5000 spend in 3 months, $450 fee Not Waived first year; This offer will only show in incognito mode, it has to be a new session, as the offer, app link won't load otherwise.
3) 40K Bonus 4k in 4months
Other, not so good, offer:
Application page for Citi Prestige MC offer for 40K miles after $4000 spend in 3 months $450 fee Not Waived first year, No landing Page for this link.

But yes, Citi IT is so inconsistent that anything is possible.

Not necessarily. It appears that American Express no longer looks only at browser cookies and IP addresses, but also other information such as which browser you are using, the resolution of your display, and whatever else is transmitted to see if it matches an existing profile. I assume American Express did not develop these algorithms in house, and that Citi can work with the same vendor.

I got a weird snail mail from Prestige today. I applied and was approved for my card just under the gun on Aug 31, it came printed with the Admirals Club logo, and I've used that benefit a couple of times with no problem. The mail today said that the info in my welcome packet had been incorrect, and outlined the changes well know here - no AA club access after next year, no AA club access for new cardholders Sep 1 onwards, the change in the 4th night free calculation, and the golf. Near as I can recall, all that was specified in the original welcome packet I got.
But included in today's mail were 2 Admirals Club day passes (3/2017 expiry). Since I have club access with my card, I guess I'll give them to a friend. I wonder if the mailing was intended for those who missed the Sep 1 cutoff for club access?

Hang onto them when you're flying other than AA if there is an admirals lounge on the same concourse.

I would hold onto the passes until you verify that a club still accepts your card. If not, redeem a pass and sort it out with Citi later.

I received the same mailing even though my account is considered open as of August 30. I also have the Admirals Club lounge access indicator on the card itself.
I have yet to fly AA since getting the card, so we've been using PP lounges. I came here to find out if the passes are good regardless of airline. This seems to be the case.

My Prestige AF will post on my December statement. Can I do the following:
1) make $250 in eligible airline chargers after the Dec statement closes to be reimbursed in Jan
2) convert Prestige card to Preferred card after January statement closes and retain all of my Prestige TYP's and also retrieve most of my Prestige AF
(I'm planning to apply for a Premier card in a week to receive 1.25 cents for TYP when booking flights.)

AF dropping to $350
I just got a snail mail it states among other things:
Lower Annual Membership Fee
And to Watch for a credit to your account
"We've credited a portion of your annual membership fee. The credit for your current membership and the new annual fee change will show on your next billing statement."
Additionally
"To show how much your business means to us we're rewarding you with 15% Relationship Bonus of Thank You points each year you are a cardmember. The relationship Bonus is calcualated as a percentage of your total purchases each year...."
On the following page it states that the new fee is $350 and $50 for additional users.
I opened my account July of this year. Using a link in the wiki for 50K points.
The letter is dated November 14, 2016

I'm not sure why I cannot find this, but anyone know if hotels.com comes up as 3x travel with Citi Prestige? I got the extra 4x TY point offer on my Prestige card and want to be sure I maximize it.
Thanks!
Edit: Did a chat and CSR claimed they are travel agency and doesn't count towards 3x (Air and Hotel), which is a joke. Guess I will be booking with pay on check-out.

My one-year anniversary billing statement has closed and I was billed only $150 for the annual fee. A year ago, my first annual fee was $350 - I was a Citigold customer but I am no longer. Are they going to bill me $200 more at a later date?
