I'm thinking of app'ing for the new Citi Globe today. Any recent datapoints on how fast the cards from Citi come? We are leaving the country in about 10 days, and I'd want it in time for that trip since it has no foreign trans fees.
I could use 4 admirals passes for this same upcoming trip, and then 4 more for a trip in August 2026, so that's an easy benefit to max out. Thinking of the inflight credits, could we use $100 in wifi and snacks on our upcoming trip (two flights, one is only 2 hours, one 4 hours)? Might be difficult since we usually get free inflight wifi through our Tmobile plan. Maybe DH would want a beer or two... and I could get some tiny liquors to make it extra fun, lol. And I could *possibly* use the splurge credit for LiveNation before the end of year to upgrade some concert tix to better seats. Then I'm sure I could use it again next year when it resets, as we attend a lot of concerts. I could potentially also use the $100 inflight credits again for our trip next August.
The 90k miles are enticing, and I'd pay a $100 AF for those alone with no extra perks. I'd probably also value the lounge passes at $100. So will I be able to get an additional $150 value out of the card to make the AF make sense? It'll be close for me, probably just because I won't use most of the benefits, like Global Entry/Precheck credit (as we have that on other cards), Turo credit, or Companion Pass (as we always use miles, never cash), and the inflight credit, I'll probably be using it JUST to use it. I wouldn't normally buy drinks/snacks on a flight.
