Citi Prestige® Card vs Citi ExecutiveSM / AAdvantage® World EliteTM MasterCard®

[IcEWoLF]

Hi guys, I wanted to inquire about the differences between these two cards.

They both look similar, except one of them has benefits with AA and the other one doesn't, are there any other major differences between the two cards besides the AF?

If you would pick one, would you pick the AA?

Is there something that the Citi Prestige Card has over the Citi Executive card?

Also would you rather go with an AMEX Platinum over either one of these?

The AA card is a really good card to help accrue elite miles, but one has to be flying AA for that to be useful. It really depends on how frequent you fly, which airlines you fly with, and the type of ticket you buy when you are flying.

The prestige and Amex platinum are both pretty similar cards that works with more than 1 just airline. Which card depends you go with depends on which airline and hotel you usually use, and whether you have more use for TY points or MR points.

The main advantages the AA WEMC has over the Amex plat is the 10k EQMs after 40k in annual spend, plus the AA perks such as priority check-in, etc. If you don't plan on using either of these (or Qantas lounges), go for the Amex platinum.

The Citi Prestige is a fairly niche product. If you don't spend at least 50k annually and have 50k in paid flight miles per year, you'll probably find better value elsewhere.
