I'm assuming the chances of that are like a unicorn? Are there any reports of this ever actually happening?If they can upgrade me to an FFFL Prestige card, I'd be fine with that!

I got the same email. It's a bit sad, they've practically gutted this card!Wow.. It's gone from one of the best non AMEX cards to this!
The whole Citi portfolio will be sold to someone else who would likely rebrand everything. I can't imagine Citi would license their name out.the AFR have just published an article
Citi to exit Australian consumer banking
Any thoughts on whether the citibank name will continue or will our credit cards get transferred to a new banking provider?
its not allowed by the admins here but here is the gist of it...Anyone with a subscription care to PDF that article and put it up somewhere for those without to read?
Citi’s consumer banking retreat includes all its consumer-focused operations including credit cards, loans, retail banking, wealth management for high-net-worth individuals and mortgages.
The Australian sale plans come as Citi reviews its retail banking operations in the region. The group has about 20 consumer banks globally, and a dozen are in the Asia Pacific region including Australia, South Korea and Thailand.
Should Citi find a buyer for its Australian consumer operations, it would leave the Wall Street bank focused on institutional banking and capital markets businesses, which include investment banking, capital markets and advisory, markets and securities trading, commercial banking and treasury services.
Got mine for BOM Amplify signature - have a virtual one for Citi so I get 4 free visits a year
$279 | Annual card fee |
Hahaha - the $279 is a bit stiff, I agree! Plus I've had to pay it for two years since Covid as I don't want to sit on a truck load of expirable points at SQ. Otherwise would have churned.Let's hope you got that card somehow fee free, otherwise the claim of "free" lounge visits comes with a pretty big caveat
$279 Annual card fee
after closing my Westpac (maybe was STG) they have still sent the Priority Pass cards again at renewal, I got to use it once but then covid got in the way.Got mine for BOM Amplify signature - have a virtual one for Citi so I get 4 free visits a year
Got the renewal membership. Completely virtual this year. Phone only, no physical posting at all. No plastic card option.I did last January when mine came up for renewal. We'll see what happens in about a month.
