This morning we reported on a rumor that Citi was bringing in a set of new benefits to the Prestige card, however the details were somewhat vague. But, now we have confirmation that most of these are true. The card will be opened up to new applicants again sometime in January 2019 and will feature the following benefits.

Citi Prestige: Big Upgrades Coming (Rumor)
Today US Credit Card Guide reported some of their readers saying they had talked with Citi Prestige reps on the phone and were told some new benefits are coming to the card. Here are the rumored benefits:
New Air France KLM Mastercard, 25k Sign Up Bonus
There is a new credit card in town. Air France KLM has teamed up with Bank of America to release their first ever credit card in North America. Although you can transfer Chase, Citi, Marriott and Amex points to Flying Blue (the joint loyalty program of these two airlines) this is the first and only credit card in the US that earns their points directly.

Chase Sapphire Banking 60k Bonus Now Available Online
Chase has just made the 60k sign up bonus for the Sapphire Banking account available online. The bonus has actually been available in branch since the beginning of october. Customers who either open a new account or upgrade an existing Chase account can get the bonus, but there are a few requirements, which we will talk about in this post.
Save Over 60% on Uber Rides (Amex Offer)
Amex offers are one of my favorite features of American Express cards. These offers can be added to your card in your Amex online account and typically refund a certain amount of money at a certain store if you spend over a certain amount. For example spend $50 at X store, get $10 back. This obviously benefits Amex and these stores, because it serves as advertising for them, shop there once with an Amex offer and you may like it so much you continue to shop there! But still, wise consumers can save a lot of money by maximizing Amex offers.
Citi ThankYou Premier 60k Bonus Extended
We reported recently on the 60k sign up bonus on the Citi ThankYou Premier card ending on Ocotober 11th 2018. This was the official end date for the offer, but it seems now Citi has extended that offer, with no end date currently listed on their website.
Amex Expands Referral Program: Your Chance to Earn Extra Points
American Express has expanded its referral program to include referral options for cards that you don’t actually have. Amex will now let you refer friends and family to any card in the series of cards that you have one of, to the business version of a card you have, or in some cases, even to other cards you have no link to.
Barclays Arrival Premier Closed to New Applicants
The Barclays Arrival Premier card was introduced in April this year and it was Barclays’ first credit card that had a system of transferable points – the the most desirable type of rewards system in the credit card world. With a transferable points system, points can be transferred to airline partners and normally can be redeemed for far greater value than points that have a set value (1c per point in the case of the Barclays Arrival+, which is still available). Transfer partners included Etihad, Eva Air and Qantas, plus several more.
The New Amex Gold Card is Here! + Rose Gold Limited Edition
Over the past couple of weeks multiple leaks have hinted at something quite incredible happening to the American Express Gold Card. First we had cardholders see 4x point earning rates on US restaurants and supermarkets show up in their accounts, and then after a couple of hours these rates disappeared (to be honest I think they did this on purpose to get people talking). Then we had leaked card images of the new metal cards, with a new rose gold variety, and many leakes about the revamped benefits of the card, supposedly being launched October 4th.
