A OMaaT reader received a survey from Citi regarding a new premium credit card called ‘Citi Explore’, if introduced I suspect this would replace the Citi Prestige as that premium card is no longer accepting applications and you can’t product change to it. Details of the Citi Explore card are as follows:
- $450 annual fee
- $300 travel credit reimbursed annually
- Card earns at the following rates:
- 3x points on travel and dining in the US and abroad
- 2x points on fitness club and gym memberships
- 1x points on all other purchases
- Points worth 50% more when redeeming for travel via Citi ThankYou Rewards portal
- 10 Priority Pass lounge visits per year (another variation has unlimited visits without the 2x on fitness/gym)
@OneMileataTime is this the new premium Citi Card? Looks like the CSR… pic.twitter.com/xzW0x3jmcZ

I’m very skeptical about this rumor, it looks like a small child has put together the survey based on the fonts and some of the other choices made. That being said, this is Citi so that might actually indicate this is legit. You’ll notice there is no mention of the 4th night free benefit the Prestige currently offers. This card basically just replaces that with an extra $50 travel credit, this card is also basically just a clone of the Chase Sapphire Reserve card. Did anyone else receive this survey or something similar?
