CITI PRESTIGE RETURNS

Long one of TPG's favorite premium credit cards, the Citi Prestige is once again available to new applicants, after disappearing from the market entirely toward the end of last year.

While the beloved 4th Night Free perk and some other benefits won't be as lucrative beginning later this year, they're still available now, as are a few recent additions, such as a generous 5x earning rate on dining and air travel.

It might be worth signing up if you:

From trip coverage to shopping protection, there are plenty of other perks to dig into — see our full credit card review for more on Citi Prestige, and to sign up with the current welcome offer.

LOUNGE ACCESS

Flying Cathay Pacific first class is a very special experience — whether you're a first timer or a premium-cabin vet. But booking an award is notoriously difficult, as availability can be extremely limited. While we'll tell you to keep at it, or book as soon as the schedule opens up, it might be better to choose another airline entirely so you can go sooner. As Ethan S. explains, "[JAL will] be 75k each way, but [it's] still a great deal." Otherwise, "EVA [business class] is a phenomenal product, and you can search for award space on ExpertFlyer."
