Anybody have a DP for dining when the restaurant uses Square? I used the card that way yesterday. Thought about using Amex Gold for 4x, but didn’t because I think I had heard Square isn’t posting properly with Square. Maybe CSR @3x is a more reliable option if Square is used? Tia.
Prestige is going to stop the annual bonus pretty soon, and that's the part I'm also bummed about.
This card is going to turn into a resty/travel card only, at least for us. For a long time it was the SO's daily driver, but no more.

Given it's a no fee card, you could just get the card, have it auto-pay the cell phone bill, and do nothing else with it.
I already had a screen breakage incident and they paid with no problem.

For TY portal bookings with the 4NF, it comes as an upfront discount, so reduces your initial cost, assuming you are paying with cash.
For concierge 4NF bookings, you get a back end rebate.
So the same stay, booked via different channels, could end up with different TYP 'earnings'.

Thought I’d share some experience. I went to a local restaurant that uses Square as their payment processor, even though they are marked as a restaurant, and I was awarded only even money on my points by Citi.

Until I see that get sorted out, when I see Square in use, it means use Altitude.

Are we sure this card is actually going be up for applications again? or did Citi just refresh the card for existing users with no plans to allow people to app for it just to save a buck?

A Citi relationship manager confirmed a few weeks ago that it should happen in January.
I don't think they would have refreshed on Jan 4th unless they planned to allow new applications soon thereafter.

Does the prestige offer lost item protection?
I've foolishly lost a pair of snowboard boots i just purchased in the back of an uber and had it been purchased with my platinum card, I would've been able to claim this.
Thanks!

No, only stolen or damaged. If it's uber, have you contacted the driver/uber?
