Product Changing From An Expensive Annual Fee Card
February 21, 2017
The Chase Sapphire Reserve®, the Citi Prestige, and the The Platinum Card® from American Express card are premium credit cards with huge benefits and high annual fees to match.
The first year, these are fantastic cards. The second year, the value is less certain. We'll look at canceling and downgrading options in this post.

Many people are scared off by that annual fee, which makes sense at a superficial level. We all got interested in miles and points to save money, not spend it.

I’ve Had My Citi Prestige For Almost a Year. Now What?
November 20, 2016
About a year ago I excitedly opened a Citi Prestige card, ready for my 50,000 ThankYou point bonus and lounge access, among other things.

Read our full review of the Citi Prestige.
11 months into holding any card that's got an annual fee, I do a cost/benefit analysis to figure out if I'm getting enough value from the card to keep it open.

Today (7/19) at 5 PM ET, the Citi Prestige® Card‘s current sign-up offer is changing. I do not know what the future offer will be, but I don’t think this is good news. When we got the same news about the Citi ThankYou Premier in January, its sign up bonus went from 50,000 points to zero.
Is It a $250 or $500 Air Travel Credit for the Citi Prestige?

The Citi Prestige® Card is one of the top all around cards for its 40,000 point sign up bonus, perks, and bonus categories.
