Citi have upped their bonus for their Prestige credit card. Now you can earn 50,000 bonus ThankYou® Points after $3,000 in purchases made with your card in the first 3 months the account is open.

It comes with a hefty annual fee of $450, but you also receive $250 Statement Credit for Air Travel each year, which can be used twice while paying for only one annual fee.

doctorofcredit reports that is is also possible a higher bonus and a lower annual fee in branch.
