The Citi Prestige® Card isn’t as well known as the Citi ThankYou® Premier Card or the Citi ThankYou® Preferred Card — Earn 20,000 Bonus Points. But if added to your wallet with the signup bonus offer and generous benefits, it can add great value for the average traveler. In summary, the Citi Prestige® Card has five main benefits in addition to earning ThankYou points that…
A recent application for 3 credit cards added 125,000 bonus points and miles to my accounts, plus the new cards will give me plenty of spend bonuses and card benefits that will be useful in the year to come. The cards I applied for this time are much different than the ones I applied for…
Transferring Citi ThankYou points to airline or hotel loyalty programs is a relatively new feature and the options are limited to global airlines and Hilton Hotels at the moment.

Something that I’ve always done is take time to relax between connections. Whether it is checking out some truly great airport restaurants, lounging in a Club, having a drink to relax, or just grabbing a cookie, I try to find something that makes being at the airport enjoyable. A fellow BoardingArea blogger, Rene at DeltaPoints,…

If you are like me, and looking to signup for credit card offers in April, you’re likely evaluating potential offers to apply to in the coming weeks. In total, I narrowed it down to 4 cards from many and will have the chance to earn 200,000 points, two free weekend night certificates at select Hilton properties…
Mrs. Weekly Flyer and I have criteria we look for when considering the addition of new credit cards to our wallet. First, the benefits have to align with our travel goals, and second the bonuses and benefits have to be good. But we always keep in mind common mistakes to avoid when applying for new…
The first big deal of the year is here and as you would have expected, we didn’t miss out. The stories of the 100,000 credit card offer for the Citi Executive® / AAdvantage® World EliteTM MasterCard®started yesterday. I finally completed my application this morning and received an instant approval. The card offer comes with some…
I do a fair amount of spending at Drugstores both in person and online. With the combination of a two step approach, it looks like I”ll be able to get 9% cash back when I make qualifying purchases. I’ll earn 5% cash back by using my Citi® Dividend Platinum Select® Visa® Card and will earn…

Some credit cards give large bonuses to get into your wallet. While others try to get it in and keep it in with yearly bonus points and miles offers. You can find some of the cards that offer yearly bonus points and miles can net an additional 7% to 10% bonus points or miles based on activity.…
The Citi Platinum Select / AAdvantage Visa Signature Card is increasing it’s annual fee. The increased fee begs the question – is the card still worth keeping in my wallet? The old fee was $85 per year. I originally signed up for this card during a limited time 75,000 bonus point offer. That offer is…
I recently booked an award flight for only 7,500 points plus a $2.50 fee. To book this award, I used points from a program that any serious frequent flyer would agree is a must have program in your points and miles award booking arsenal. The award I booked isn’t even the least expensive ticket (in…

We’ve used Hilton Honors Gold status to save money and travel better on award trips from the Hilton Seychelles Northolme Resort & Spa to the Hilton Moorea in French Polynesia. On each award trip, our Hilton Gold status offered us complimentary breakfast as an amenity. We consider these award stays among the best award bookings…
Just like the US government, Mr. and Mrs. WeeklyFlyer ran a deficit this year. We burned more than we earned to the tune of 877k points and miles. Wouldn’t it be great if we could just print points and miles? We burned through a little over 1.734 million points and miles. We took in a…
Citi has a existing offer for the Platinum Select MasterCard where you can earn 30,000 American Airlines miles per card. Signing up for this card, and meeting the spending requirements, is a great way to earn miles that can be used for one way tickets. I have a good friend who is looking for ways…
