FINALLY! - Citi launching Citi Prestige with Visa Infinite

[potm]

Does anyone know when the benefits reset for the prestige. Is it per calendar year or your card anniversary?
Thanks

Which CC gives points for ATO? Even half points. I have a big tax bill

Used the non signature version in Dec. ATO points and counted towards bonus spend.

Ooh, it's 5 so better odds.

Pullman Brisbane King George Square
Grand Chancellor Brisbane
The new inchcolm hotel and suites
Four points by Sheraton Brisbane
Capri by Fraser Brisbane

Any more help on ranking them would be appreciated, noting the poor availability.

To update, I went with the Pullman as number 1, available on my dates so didn't need a backup plan. Booked the airport transfer for checkout too.

You'll just a quote for the entire stay with the discount added up front

 

[ermen]

yes i got the quote.

so what will happen? they will just charge my card the "net" amount (i.e. with the discount applied?)

 

[LadyC]

Yes, the net amount is charged.

Anyone have any experience around 4 nights for 3 bookings when booking in the next calendar year? Looking to book something in early January and have been told that it can't be booked yet as the concierge doesn't have details on benefits for 2018 yet? Just wondering if anyone had come across this hurdle previously and when Citibank had released program terms for the next year?

 

[LadyC]

Just to update my query from yesterday, Citibank have advised me that utilising this 4 nights for 3 for 2018 stays is not available until 2018! So my desired booking of 2 - 6 January and then 6 - 10 January cannot be booked until 1 January 2018!!! I will be following up further.

It's always like that. It doesn't mean you'll have to wait until Jan next year to book. My experience is, usually by later in the year (around September) they can at least know if the benefit can extend until Mar 18. After that you really have to wait for the benefit 2018 to be released.

Thanks. That was what I was trying to work out and suspected. I might go into the branch on Monday and ask. I am looking to book peak period so don't want to leave it too late. Was also hoping to lock in spend prior to the 15 June transfer rates change.

Are there any extra perk for Prestige holders for the Good Food and Wine shows?

 

[ermen]

Got some questions on the free night stay:-

1. Is it possible to use them simultaneously (i.e. I need 2 rooms for a trip that I am going on - am I able to claim the 4th night free for both set of rooms?)

2. Anyone had any luck booking or a supplementary card holder (believe the T&C says primary card holder only)

 

[LadyC]

Not sure about your first question but in respect to your second question, my experience is the answer is no. Only available for primary card holder. The gentleman and I had an issue recently where Citibank wanted to deny free airport transfer request as they believed he was a supplementary card holder of mine (which he is not, he has his own).

I called up and tried to book a second room under the card - was denied.

Shame it is only applicable to the principal card holder.
