New Citi Prestige Applicants Losing AA Lounge Benefit Soon

prestige-thumbs-downLast month, news broke that Citi Prestige cardholders would be losing access to American Airlines Admirals Clubs. A few days later, Citi confirmed that, and many other negative changes to the card. The only good news was that Citi was giving one year notice of the changes, which are due to take effect July 23, 2017.

However, there is one change that will affect new applicants much sooner. According to various reports, new Citi Prestige applicants must be approved by August 31, 2016 to have Admirals Club access through July 23, 2017. If you become a cardholder on September 1 or later, you will not have the AA lounge club benefit at all.

If access to Admirals Club for the next 11 months is an important benefit to you, be sure to apply for Citi Prestige in the next couple days.
