I don't understand why Citi can be consistent with its premium card products across its global markets. They should have the Ultima card available in the US instead of the Prestige and Strata Elite. It would have been good for their premium card branding overall. Unless they plan to offer the Ultima Card to their private banking clients. That could make it on par with the Centurion and JPM Reserve.

You make a great point. Citi’s scattered approach to its premium card lineup feels inconsistent, especially compared to competitors with a clear global identity. Bringing the Ultima card to the U.S. could strengthen their premium branding and better target high-net-worth clients who value exclusivity. If they’re saving Ultima for private banking clients, that would put it in the same league as the Centurion or JPM Reserve, but it could also limit their presence in the wider luxury card market. It’ll be interesting to see whether Citi eventually unifies its offerings or continues with this region-specific strategy.

Thank god....But if you had to invest and maintain $250,000 in a managed brokerage account for 4.25% CB (no AF) some would be jumping through hoops to get that and the approval forums would light-up like a Christmas Tree.

AED stands for the United Arab Emirates dirham

Thank you! Actual currency didn't even come to mind, I was thinking some kind of reward point program maybe.

Which means???  

---

Its a type of currency. A diffrent currenct to the USD or US dollar.

---

Dirham is the currency in United Arab Emirates. 🇦🇪

Is something that bills in AED even a viable card offer for US users? I don't think these forums say "US only", but I don't think we normally GET anything other than US users and the occassional ex-pat or "new to country" folks?
