This year I wanted to visit some place exotic and not a usual travel spot for North American tourists. That’s why I chose to go to Zanzibar. For

The Citi Prestige Just Keeps Getting Better

Travel BlerdApril 29, 2019May 29, 2019

A couple of months ago, I was leaning towards either closing my Citi Prestige or converting the card to the Citi Premier.

Travel BlerdJanuary 21, 2019May 20, 2019

Recently, Citi has updated the Prestige. As I’ve mentioned before in my post about how I offset my annual credit card fees, the Citi Prestige 4th night free benefit was a major part of that strategy. With the new changes, the $250 air travel credit is now a $250 general travel credit, beginning in September the 4th night free will
