Citi Prestige

Earns: Citi Thank You Points

GigaTake:

Citi’s entry to the ultra-premium card race, competing against the Chase Sapphire Reserve and American Express Gold. Its 5x points for air travel and restaurant spending is nearly unmatched and the complimentary 4th hotel night can be hugely valuable. But it has a high annual fee ($450) and ThankYou points aren’t the most flexible.

This card is best for:

  • Dining
  • Hotels
  • Airlines

Here’s how much you would earn with this card
