Episode Description
This
week Citi finally brought their new premium credit card to market.
While many of the leaks were true, does this card measure up to its
competition and will it drive further loyalty. Plus Citi added
transfers from ThankYou to American Airlines, but is it as good as
it sounds and will it drive sign-ups for this card? Most
importantly should you get it?
Joe
Cheung also joins us to discuss his recent near miss on a welcome
offer and how he still managed to save it. Are grace periods a
thing? We also discuss international tipping culture as Americans
and how we may be expected to tip when traveling even if locals
aren't.
