Hey guys,
Looking to upgrade to a Prestige from my free-for-life Signature. Trying to justify the $700 fee, seems unlikely Citi will do me any favours with respect to that. Not overly interested in the various value-added benefits, however the increased points earn rate IS quite interesting. Keen to get a view on the numbers I've ran:
- I currently put through approx $160k/year in international spent - at 4x points which is great.
- On Prestige, earn rate is 5x on the $, so that would equate to an additional 160,000 points per year. Which is effectively approx 107k VA or KF points.
- So effectively $700 to buy those 107k points - @ approx $0.0065 per point.
Seems to me like it's worthwhile - any views?
EDIT: Also seems like 160k citi points are worth almost $900 in gift cards.. might have answered my own q..
