Citi Prestige Card 50,000 Bonus ThankYou Points worth $800 Flight
The Citi Prestige Card has increased its bonus to 50,000 ThankYou Points after $3,000 in purchases within your first three months. This makes it enough points for a $800 flight on American Airlines, a $665 flight on any other airline, or $500 in gift cards.
Normally the Citi Prestige Card is 30,000 bonus points after $2,000 in purchases, so for an extra $1,000 in purchases, you can earn 50,000 bonus points now instead. One really bad negative of this card is that it has a $450 annual fee and that is not waived for the first year. Although to compensate for that huge annual fee like other major cards are doing is a travel credit each year. This Prestige Card offers a $250 air travel credit each year and a complimentary fourth night for any hotel stay. That right there makes it better than the Club Carlson card that just downgraded their card where you cannot get your free hotel night any longer after staying a night. This definitely offsets the annual fee and I will add this card in my next card application roundup.
