We bring for you the best in Citibank Rewards Credit Cards. The three we compare today are Citi Prestige®Card, Citi® / AAdvantage®Platinum Select®World Elite™MasterCard and Costco Anywhere Visa®Card by Citi.
Of the three, the Citi Prestige is a high-end card for the discerning traveler. It comes with a high $450 annual fee but if you travel a lot, this can easily pay for itself. I recently used it book a luxury hotel in Switzerland and got over $400 cash back for the single transaction with the 4th night free offer.
The Costco card is a close second. If you are a Costco member it is a no-brainer. The Extended Warranty feature makes it worth it, along with the additional Cash Back on Costco Purchases.
You can get more information at Citibank Credit Cards.
