Prestige Emailing Cardholders about $250 Air Travel Credit

I got this email on Saturday because I have a Citi Prestige® Card.

It looks like it is designed to remind people about their $250 Air Travel Credit, and that it is personalized to include how much of your 2015 credit you received and how much of your 2016 credit you've gotten so far.

As I already wrote about, I got all of my 2015 credit on my first 2015 statement and all of my 2016 credit for airfare purchased in 2015 that appeared on my January 2016 statement.

But if you haven't gotten your full 2016 credit yet, you

12,250 Miles to Europe for all of 2016

I’ve been posting about award space to Europe for this summer because that’s what my Award Booking Service clients want.

Here's another great deal to Europe with miles: you can fly from the Eastern United States to London for 13,000 Membership Rewards, Ultimate Rewards, or ThankYou Points plus $135. From other parts of the country, you'll pay only a few more miles.

On some routes, award space is WIDE OPEN year round, including the heart of summer. Here is the award space for July 2016 from New York to London.

Qantas Improves Award Chart

Finally an anti-devaluation!

Qantas has lowered the number of miles needed to book Qantas and partner flights with Qantas miles. This is potentially big news since Citi ThankYou Points transfer 1:1 to Qantas miles.

ThankYou Points are easy to get. The Citi Prestige® Card comes with 40,000 bonus ThankYou Points after $3,000 in purchases made with your card in the first 3 months the account is open.

What Are the Changes?
Qantas is not touching Business or First Class award prices, only international economy.
