So the new design is starting to appear on Citi's website, and not just the app.
UPDATE:
I just called them, the design change is live. They're sending me the new design overnight 
Chip on the front, stripe on the back. FINALLY
The Premier also has the newer design when you add it on Apple Pay or on the mobile app. Maybe thats getting redesigned also?
Gardening until September 2025

Also recieved mine, much better design. They reeeaaaalllly need to up the card quality itself though. The best comparison would be to the old Quicksilver. Very flimsy. 
Citi finally moved their mag strip to the back of the card.
But my god does it feel even more flimsier and cheaper... There are stains of glue on the back of the card which are seen when tilted against the light. It feels even thinner than old one and it has a matte finish rather than glossy.
The see through window is gone, at least on the Premier, I dont have Prestige yet.... However, the 3d effect/optical illusion on the front image is a lot more pronounced and the back of the card has the same pattern as the front.
All citi have to do is stop making their credit cards out of toilet paper, how difficult can it be. Chase seems to know how to do it with their Sapphire and Ritz... If only citi could make their thank you out of same material CSP while Prestige of full body metal like Ritz.
Id pay extra 100$ a year to just have Prestige made out of metal and to same standard and quality of the Ritz-Carlton... At least give us a damn option, even if its paid.
At this moment in all honesty, I`d be happy with just same quality as Amex charge cards... I think my Citi Premier is cheapest feeling card that I own. Maybe Chase has spoiled us but it almost feels like for the annual fee, there should be more.
thanks for sharing
