Yesterday we covered that the Citi Prestige card is no longer accepting new applications. My understanding is that this card is currently being revamped and will be relaunched with new benefits in the future. Given this premise reader Norm asked if it was worth making future fourth night free reservations now in case the revamp changes this benefit.
My answer is that if your travel plans are set in stone, it certainly wouldn’t hurt to make those bookings now as I can’t see that particular benefit or associated benefits getting any better. If you don’t have concrete plans then I guess making speculative bookings might make sense if they are refundable, but again I wouldn’t be doing this unless you were relatively certain that you’ll actually complete the stays.
I have heard some rumors from unreliable sources regarding product changes to the Citi Prestige, Citi has categorically denied that these changes are remotely accurate and their media team has generally be forthright when it comes to this type of think so I am taking their word for it for now. Hopefully we learn more about how the card will be change before those changes go into effect in any case, this would also give you time to make fourth night free bookings as appropriate.
