We purchased airfare through Expedia, the charge appeared on the credit card as a charge from Air Canada and received 5x points.

I had the same experience as jbeans.
I think people are going to have inconsistent results based on how the big Agencies code things up.
Maybe people should try smaller test transactions.
I have a big prospective travel agency expense coming up (Costco) and I'm just going to do split tender across multiple cards that I think should work, but don't know for sure.

I can confirm that CitiGold clients get the annual fee reduced to $350 (with $50 for authorized users). I received an automated mailing from Citi to notify me of this (along with elimination of certain other Citi Prestige fees).
It is funny how Citi don't promote this more on their website or promotional materials.

Anyone got the card after relaunch? I would love to see a pic. I mean is it the same as the "old" card. I would have hoped that in the future they make them a little bit more weighty and contactless.
My AA Platvcard seems like a piece of paper, its already getting chipped at the corners. I do not like it,seems very cheap. When you look at the card closely it is like 2 pieces glued together. I don't know if all Citi cards are like these as it is the only one i have but i've been with lesser bank and they can pull a better plastic.

thanks! did you have to manually call and find out that you got 5x points? how did you ascertain that you got 5x for it? citi has been so annoyingly opaque about these bonus points, but I also read on another website that they were testing the ability to show bonus points per transaction.

Forgive me if this was answered elsewhere but I didn't see it in a search. I currently have a Citi Premier that I use a lot, and a Citi Preferred (RIP my old Forward card) I don't use at all and then a balance of about 300k TY points, all earned via the Premier. I use points about half for airline transfers and half for redemptions in the TY portal for airfare at 1.25x.
Very interested in the Prestige because a significant amount of my spend is on dining, was thinking I'd do a product change on the Premier to the Prestige, but realizing I'd lose the 1.25x on flight redemptions, would it make more sense to upgrade the Preferred to the Prestige and keep the Premier open but not use it because my (current and future?) points would stay at 1.25x on redemptions? I think I could eek out enough with that 25% bonus to make up for the extra $95 annual fee. But I wasn't sure if that would work at all, and also would only my existing points keep the 25% bonus, or would points earned with the Prestige also get it?
I assume if I upgrade the Premier to a Prestige all my existing points would all of a sudden lose their 25% bonus, so if I was to go that route, I'd probably want to book some flights before I do the upgrade to maintain the 25% bonus.
Anyway, any thoughts would be appreciated.

Are all-inclusive properties not covered in 4NF?
I am looking to make a stay in Denali Backcountry Lodge or Skyline Lodge. Since these are 50miles inside the national park, they only have a rate that includes meals. Room only rate is not available. Aspire concierge said these would not be applicable.

The key thing I have found with the Citi Concierge is to not ask them if you CAN do something, they will usually say you can't. Ask them to DO it, then if they can't, they will tell usually you. I recently booked the Banyan Tree buy 2 stay 3 promo with Mastercard through the Concierge and had no issues combining with 4nf. I called, asked them to apply the promo code (MASTERCARD), the whole thing was easy by concierge standards.
Someone else posted that they were told they couldn't combine it when they asked. It's a publicly available offer on the Banyan Tree website which means it should be valid. Once again, this reminded me the difference in asking the concierge if you can vs asking them to do.
