That's a pretty important perk.

 

My flurry of travel might quiet down in a year, so I'm not sure if I'll keep it on not. This definitely increases the chance of cancellation, though.

Business use: Amex Bus. Plat., BBP, Lowes Amex AU, CFU AU
Perks: Delta Plat., United Explorer, IHG49, Hyatt, "Old SPG"

Is there a place where they list what lounges you can access?

I use https://www.aa.com/i18n/travel-info/clubs/admirals-club-locations.jsp for the Admirals lounge locations, and https://www298.americanexpress.com/benefits/platinum/us/en/#/loungefinder to locate Priority Pass lounges (as well as the others I can visit with an Amex Platinum).

There are other changes coming
- elimination of 2x dining
- airfare credit going to be for incidentals only (to be confirmed)
- AF going to $350
- AA bonus redemption of 1.6c going away.
- signup bonus spend going up to $5k

What a sneaky bank, citi. At least Chase had the honor of grandfathering product features. Losing admiral club can be due to a new contract with Aa but categories change is weak

Guess I'll be re-thinking getting this card down the road.

Where did you find those? 

 

I had been debating picking this up in a few months once i can afford more sign-up spending to compare it's usefulness against my Amex Platinum, but it sounds like this is just overall becoming less appealing (albeit $100 lower AF).

 

Looks like Barclay Arrival+ is going to end up being my no-FTF Mastercard... that or maybe Security Service Power Travel Rewards... and I was really looking forward to having a useful Citi card again Smiley Sad

WOW this nerfing is so unreal. 

 

It's like an extreme case of nerfing. 

 

It's like nerf to nerf'd power. 

 

It's nerf-alicious 

 

Damn all this nerfing Smiley Sad

 

Jokes aside, I wanted this card down the line. Hope this stuff isn't true Smiley Sad
