Citi Prestige Annual Fee reduced to $350
« on: November 20, 2016, 11:37:35 AM »
anyone else get a mailing telling them the fee went down and you'll get a $100 refund?  if not, worth a call maybe

i just got my card in August, hit my threshold in time, did my $250 travel purchase and just recently applied for Global Entry (hasn't credited yet).
the mailing tells me that the fee is going down to $350 and i'll get a $100 refund..
so for first year, I'm going to:

Get 2 travel bonuses totaling $500
Global entry credit of $100
50,000 points bonus
fee - $350

not bad

after my year is up, the net annual fee (post $250) will be $100.. not sure its worth it, especially if i have sapphire reserve

Do you have CitiGold?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I used to have Citigold but haven't held that status in a long time (including when I signed up for the Prestige card).
raccah below posts about some mistkenly letter -but my letter is not about a points bonus (though it does tell me that I'll get a 15% realtionship bonus each year i'm a member).  It says i'm getting a credit for a portion of my annual membership fee.. seems off. nothing has posted yet.

Got that letter and then got an email explaining it's a mistake and awarding 1000 points. Letter will follow.
