Citi Prestige vs AAdvantage Executive
 
Hello. I currently have the executive. I see the prestige is the same $450 per year. I use the Admirals Club every week so it's a great benefit. I see that's not offered on the prestige card. Is there any reason to switch to the prestige?

You answered yourself - No.

It is unlikely that you can benefit a lot from the Citi Prestige anyway.

Prestige cannot replace Executive because it no longer provides any Admirals Club access, but you might want both. While Prestige is nominally $450 it actually costs $200 because there is a $250 airline credit. (It's even less if you have a Citigold banking relationship.)

Prestige would add Priority Pass lounge access and a discount on hotel stays of 4 nights or longer:

I also noticed it has baggage delay insurance that Executive does not.

If you can get significant value out of the fourth night benefit, the Citi Prestige easily is worth having. If you can't it's a lot more marginal. I probably would take the Citi Prestige over the Advantage Executive, just because of more bonus categories and transferable points, but that's because I don't particularly value AAdvantage points particularly highly.
