Question
Has anyone seen this card yet from citibank? I just saw an ad on usatoday.com (albeit a really bad one b/c I didn't know what i was doing until I finally got to the citi page)

Is this new or have I just been asleep somewhere? I've never seen it advertised until now I can say.
Seems like a great deal for people who fly long-haul. I think I am going to get one to complement my Starwood Amex!
Answer
This was actually discussed here last month, and I think there was a thread in Mileage Run about it too.

It's an interesting concept, but there are a few catches, especially in terms of redeeming the "mileage-based" bonus points (which, it appears, must be redeemed in conjunction with an equal number of the standard points from purchases). Hope this is helpful!
