Lol. It's a $700 trick.

What are the chances of Citi going down the Amex route and cancelling the restaurant benefit?

I've had my Citi Prestige for 18 months and used the airport restaurant perks well. I'm often with my partner, so it's nice to be able to spend $72. My most indulgent spend of the quota was $36 for one glass of Piper at GC airport. lol

But overall, it's been good value, and the food options at the restaurants are better than the QC or VFF lounges so we often have a meal at a restaurant and then go to the lounge for the free drinks.

I've also been using their free travel insurance, which is easy to activate before you go overseas.

Thanks it’s a useful article highlighting all the locations in AUS with PP restaurants. Where I differ with the author is on the definition of “free”.

The American HH Amex Surpass used to offer 10 PP visits a year (plenty for me) with an annual fee of just US$150. At $700 a year, nope, I'll just eat before I go to the airport.

$700 is steep, sure. But Priority Pass is in addition to the 150k bonus points - easily worth $700 on its own. Keeping the card for the 2nd year is less worth it considering the bonus is only 50k, but again with PP, earn rate and insurance its still a pretty solid deal - and in 24 months time who knows what the points landscape will look like

RIP Payall
Would have made it worth it even more!

Yeah, I'm really bummed about that. Making me considering cancelling the card since they are stopping it.

I have the Citi Premier card which gives you complimentary Priority Pass membership as well but you only get 2 visits a year. Some other benefits but nowhere near the Prestige card. Mind you the 110,000 Velocity points sign on bonus was nice on the Premier card!

I got a takeaway spit roasted lamb & chicken, hummus, salad and bread for $38 (paid the $2 difference) from Biggie Smalls at T3 Mel yesterday and ate it in the Va lounge...with unlimited drinks!

The whole premise of this article (advertisement) is to put money in the pocket of AFF owners via credit card referral kickbacks.

Even has a horrible clickbait headline. Yuck.
