Citi Prestige to Remove Admirals Club Access in June 2017

Starting next year, Citi Prestige cardholders will no longer get the benefit of Admirals Club access. The change will take effect on June 20, 2017.

Update: Citi has changed to date to July 23, 2017.

You can see the details in your online login if you have the Prestige card:

Your key to airport lounges around the globe. Simply present the Citi Prestige Card and your boarding pass to gain access to American Airlines Admirals Club® lounges worldwide. aa.com/admiralsclub. You will have access to the American Airlines Admirals Club® lounges until June 20th, 2017. After that, you’ll no longer have complimentary access with your Prestige card.

We don’t know how this will play out for new cardholders, and it’s possible that they’ll scrap the benefit immediately for new applicants. However, you can still apply for the card today and get the benefit, at least until June 2017, as it’s still showing as a benefit in the online application.

This change is in addition to the other two changes we reported on earlier which might be happening tomorrow with regards to a higher spend threshold on the signup bonus and the removal of the 2x dining category.
