Your Flagship Card Is Getting Even Better.

Well, maybe your Flagship Card is getting better, but they didn't send me that email yet.  

#1 makes it a Double Cash killer now that #2 is true, as long as a cardholder spends enough.  #2 is a welcome change; I found it annoying that they had a sliding scale depending on what you were redeeming and in what increments.  #3 won't do me much good (I need to start adopting kids or something because I'm losing count of Global Entry credits available to me, or soon available to me) but it certainly makes it more competitive with BoA's Premium Rewards.  No bad news anywhere in that email.  Thanks for sharing!

Nice...have some cards with Global Entry already.  If this last for 5 years, I'll apply then to re-new

Thank you for posting the details of what is considered travel. The travel catagory seems very liberal.

Thanks for posting this, @Saleen099!

I'm glad to see NFCU finally getting competitive with this card!

Update: MY Flagship card will also be getting better. Just got the email. I agree that list is great. Can’t help thinking the golf course thing is a direct snub at Citi. They may as well have added “sporting events in which you DO participate.”

Any hope they might do something similar with GoRewards or their More Rewards AmEx?  Do you think Flagship is now the stronger card?  I am wondering if I should consider trying to PC from GoRewards or More Rewards to Flagship.

Nice. Now I really liked the card, since it is essentially a 2% card at minimum, with a lot of categories I use being a 3%
And, the fact that they have now changed the Redemption to 1 penny per point is great, especially since I just put $15, 000 on mine furnishing my new home. Lol

I am now wondering if I should dump my Barclay Arrival + ?
