Ok for those who asked me, I just called up and pushed quite hard for the select at $350 given the devalue that occurred on the card (plus I was putting through $20-25k per month from my parent's business).
The new card will have the following additional features (I called up and went through it):
- 2 QFF per $1 spend (yes that's right - she confirmed this three times as I didn't believe it) or 2 citi reward for $1
- 5 QFF for $1 spend on international (also same for citi points)
- fee night in hotel at 80 different locations
- spend 3 nights and get 1 free at heaps of different hotels
- some golf package to play complementary at a number of different courses (2 different packages)
- golden circle membership at shangri-la (I can't remember which one was free)
I don't think priority pass was mentioned but I may have forgotten.
For me now it's a no brainier
