Not if you at least purchase 1 airplane ticket a year, B/C the $250 airline statement credit one is SUPPOSE to get annually, brings AF to $200!

$250 is still a steep AF to pay for most people.

A lot of the good benefits got canned by Citi. 

Unless I get some really good retention offers, I will be cancelling this card.

Other than the 15-25% relationship bonus and cheaper redemptions for AA flights, the TY Premier is pretty much the same card at a lower AF.

+1 

The companion ticket really gave value to the card. You would easily cover the AF with that one perk.

The $250 towards airfare + 4th night free at ANY hotel (which I plan on using at least twice a year) + 3 complimentary rounds of golf is worth more than the annual fee to me. With those 3 benefits, I'll net almost 500 dollars from the card every year.

It is lighter but stiffer than plastic. Considering how light a credit card is already... making it carbon fiber may make it feel as light as a leaf. I was hoping they would have made it metal...

The Airline statement credits are bit of a misnomor to me. I thought you just got a credit for an airline purchase, No its a statement credit for any additional fees associated with your flight, for baggage, etc. Not an actual credit just for purchasing a plane ticket.

Actually, the new benefits allow the $250 yearly credit to be used towards airfare.

This is directly from their T&C "Airline Fees are defined as purchases made with airlines including Air fares, baggage fees, lounge access and some in-flight purchases."

For someone who flys a lot this card is definitely worth it.  With the airline credit, expanded lounge access, 4th free night. and extra 60% on redemption on AA and US airway flights.

If you don't fly a lot the premier would be better for point accumulation and the sign up bonus is better provided you keep the card the second year.

It depends. Signing up for the Prestige in branch is better, as it provides:

$350 AF instead of $450.

60k TY points after hitting two milestones (30k points after 3k spend in 3 months and another 30k points after 12k total spend in a year).
