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.

Citi Prestige MasterCard [2015-2017]
My AF just hit on my Prestige, and I forgot they charge $50 for AUs. I have my wife on there because of the Companion Pass benefit, but with that gone, is there really any reason to pay that extra $50?

@roki, don't blame you.
Spoke with Prestige today, new cards going out next month with a darker colored mag stripe. Apparently this is the only change, which it great because I love the card design. I can't imagine the stripe being any darker unless they make the rest of the card lighter to improve the contrast.

At least for me when the cashier swipes and it doesn't register, they turn to the back to look for the stripe. It doesn't dawn on them to look at the front.

So even once the US goes to chip+pin/sign, the design still sucks.
So far I've only had one place where I wasn't able to use the card at all, which is to add value to my EzLink card (used for public transport). The kiosks allow you to select either swipe or chip. Swiping doesn't work as it then asks you to use the chip. The Chip doesn't work as it enforces the use of a pin.

I met someone the other night who works in marketing at Citi (not on the Prestige card product team) and she had definitely heard about the Prestige card design being a sore point.

When traveling in Brazil, Argentina, and Chile recently I just handed people the card chip side up. There were no issues with it being chip and signature, and it took the whole mag stripe out of the equation. Would be really helpful with this crappy design if US places started doing chip transactions. Haven't tried it in Asia or Europe, though.
