Citibank Singapore Unveils New Card Faces for Citi Prestige and Citi PremierMiles
New applicants of the Citi Prestige and Citi PremierMiles will receive their credit cards with a brand new card face soon. The new card faces of the two aforementioned cards are introduced to standardise the way cards look and feel across countries. At the time of writing, it is unclear whether new (or changes to existing) benefits will be introduced with the new card face but the Citi Prestige will come in a ‘premium hybrid metal material’ from 15 April 2019.
Even though the limousine benefit on the Citi Prestige Card has been diluted tremendously last month, this is still a great card to hold for the 4th night free benefit - you will basically receive the fourth night back in credit (sans taxes) when you book an eligible stay with the Citi Prestige Concierge team.
