That's if you completely ignore any benefits included.
So you can get the card with $350 AF. If you fly at least once a year with a $250 or more ticket, you'll get reimbursed $250, making it essentially $100/year. If you use the 4th night hotel free benefit at a spot that costs $100/night (there's no limit as to how much that 4th night costs and no limit as to how many times a year you can use it), you've already evened out. Everything else is gravy.
I haven't even gotten to take advantage of it yet
Actually signing up for the Global Entry right now. Super useful for me since it comes with TSA pre-check and I fly domestically at least 5-6 times a year. Also live in SD and this would give me the Sentri pass that lets me bypass all that traffic at the Mexico border.
Dope! I decided to do it after my girl and I went to Miami in December. On the way back, we were on the TSA line for 30 minutes while precheck was empty. I said never again.
When we got back from Spain, if we didn't have to wait for our baggage, we would of been no more than 10 minutes from the time we got off the plane to stepping outside.
Up $75 on the AF on this hotel booking alone.
I get a 15% bonus points for being a CitiGold customer. I'm earning 3.45 points per dollar spent for travel. It comes out to 6300 points which is worth about $100.
I'll also earn SPG points and get a 50% bonus for being a SPG gold customer.
Damn dude. I want your life.
Yeah like based said the prestige will pay itself off time again. Haven't had my Amex PRG pay itself off yet. It's literally just used as a debit card.
That 4th night free perk is gold, I'd love to take advantage of that hotel in Miami 4 nights for the price of 2 .
Yup, a lot of hotels offer 3rd or 5th night free, so you can combine it with the 4th night with the Prestige.
I just signed up for the CSP for its sign-on bonus, but I personally don't have much of a use with the CSP as a regular card. I'm planning on converting it to the Freedom Unlimited once it comes time for the AF to kick in. You might want to consider the same instead of canceling it altogether. You might want to confirm that the UR points travel with the card though before you do that.
Prestige's card is plain old plastic which was kinda disappointing
UR points won't transfer to the freedom unlimited or any other non annual fee chase card.
Good to know. I'm probably gonna transfer to Hyatt in that case.
