Our Verdict
Card has not been available for some time after changes to the card were announced. I was hoping for a stronger launch offer than 50,000 points to be honest. It was recently possible to get 60,000 points on the Citi Premier for example. I think most people will not be eligible due to the Citi family rule.
One of the main selling points for the Prestige is the 4th night free benefit, but that is being limited to two uses per year in September so that greatly devalues the card.
