Received new Citi Prestige Card Today

I made a quick unboxing/review video of the Citi Prestige Card I received today. It's my first YouTube video https://youtu.be/zrU0tmQVLgY

 

For me, it's a keeper at $350 (Citi Priority). I leverage the 4th night free quite often and have received a ton of value out of it each year. I am sad to see the Admiral's Club lounge access go away, but I don't fly too often to make a big deal out of it.

 

What do you guys think about the change in benefits? Is it worth still keeping?

Thanks for the video Cal! I agree with AJC..the Plat and Ritz are solid! Wow
I don't own any of these cards. Maybe one day I can grow up and be like you.

I definitely miss Admirals access. Not that the lounges were amazing, but the decent footprint and free guests made it very practical. I never used the free golf perk.

 

I've had a pretty smooth experience using the remaining key benefits (delay insurance, 4th night, concierge, extended warranty) and got 10k/$3k/6 months retention.

 

I have no idea what I'll do with the rewards now, but it offers a lot of benefits for a modest net AF.

My Prestige will be going when the fee is due in October. A real shame as for me the 1.6c redemption on AA flights and the Admirals club access made this card the leader of the pack for me. I fly AA every week and although the lounges are nothing special, I am missing being able to dip into them for some peace and quiet.

It's a shame that Citi and AA seem blind to the fact that the $.016 redemption on AA flights and the Admirals Club access were a powerful combination that attracted many AA frequent flyers to the Prestige card.  If I were AA, I would be working with Citi (or Barclay) to create a new card that gives folks those two benefits.  I'm thinking a card whose price would fall somewhere between the current $95 regular AAdvantage cards and the $450 Executive AAdvantage card.  There's really no reason why an airline can't sponsor a card that uses a third party travel portal, especially if it has special pricing for its own tickets.

Does anybody have the metal Prestige and metal Amazon? When I held my friend's Amazon card I wasn't as impressed with the card itself as I thought I would be. The CSP is wayyyyy nicer.
