Maximizing the Citi Prestige annual Air Travel Credit

Like several other credit card annual benefits, this one is offered per calendar year, which means that as a new applicant, you’ll receive the entire benefit during both the 2015 and 2016 calendar years, for a total of $500 in statement credits for airline charges during your first year of cardmembership.

In addition, Citi bases the “calendar year” on the closing date of your statement. If your statement closes on December 5th and you have an airline charge that processes on the 4th, then that charge will appear on your December statement, and will count against your $250 benefit for the current calendar year. However, if the charge processes on the 6th, then it will appear on your January statement and count against your allowance for the next calendar year. Even if you have no plans to make $250 worth of purchases from airlines this year, you could still use the $250 credit to pay for someone else’s travel, or simply to purchase gift cards directly from an airline for later use.

The terms state that “to be eligible for this benefit, the enrolled Card Account must be open and current at the time of statement credit fulfillment.” So if you do end up having to cancel your card for any reason, and you have a statement credit pending, be sure that you allow the statement to close so that the credit is applied to your account before you close it.

求问大神，所以说如果我在2016年收年费前用了那250，第二年2016年收年费后那250报销额度就已经在收年费前用掉了吧? 不可能再有新的250报销额度了吧，如果是这样，那有什么好说是Maximize YOUR TRAVEL CREDIT 的，除非你第二年收年费前关卡。。。。
