They round the number of points you get to the nearest whole number, not the dollar amount. 0.87x5 = 4.35, so it rounds down to 4 points. If it had been 0.90 it would have been 4.5 points, and would have rounded up to 5 points.

Oh…gotcha! I had no idea that’s how things work with Citi. Good to know. Hope you’re having a blast using your Prestige in Australia.

I am seriously considering this card as I have some travel coming up, a couple which may be week long stays. The dilemma is even though I get the free night, it seems those 7 nights wont count towards my Marriott status.

Sorry to bump this old comment - anyone know if Airbnb codes as 5x or 3x for Prestige? Limited data points...

How long does it usually take for points to post on the account page? I never paid close attention in the past, but I recently purchased airfare from United Airlines, which was posted on April 6th. In the "Rewards" column, I only see dashes instead of a value for the amount of TY points I earned.

The transaction detail should reflect the correct earning once it has posted. It doesn't show earning when the transaction is still pending.

It's not a pending transaction anymore. The transaction has already been posted.

I haven't used my Prestige for travel since Citi gutted travel protections, but all my posted charges show their respective rewards earned. The only ones with ----- are all pending. Are you seeing something like this but under Posted?

Yes, but here's the funny thing, the dashes have now been replaced with points! I guess Citi updated my account between my last posting and your post. I didn't realize there was a lag despite the transaction being posted and no longer pending.

Now I'm seeing the following:

Btw, I still use the Citi Prestige for the 5x. I know I could use my AMEX Platinum, but I rather use my Citi Prestige.

I've never seen that either and always thought a posted transaction shows points earned. Despite all the things I say about ...... IT, the way it shows total points earned is so much more intuitive than Amex (some show under transactions while some under point summary) and Chase (not shown at all, at least for business accounts).

Care to share why? Just old habit?

I guess it's an old habit. I have always wanted to diversify my points. I don't want everything with AMEX. I'm not too concerned about insurance. Fortunately, I haven't had to use it before.
