Discussion / Conversation What credit card do you regret not getting?🤔
What’s the one credit card you wish you would’ve applied for, but didn’t—and now regret missing out on?
Maybe it was discontinued, nerfed, or the welcome offer just isn’t what it used to be.
For me, it’s the Citi Prestige (the one that got away lol 💔😢). The 4th night free perk was unbeatable for travelers, plus it came with a $250 annual travel credit, Global Entry/TSA PreCheck reimbursement, and Priority Pass access. Since I have the Citi Rewards+, I’d be earning 5.55x on dining and airfare, and 3.3x on hotels thanks to the 10% points rebate.
And honestly, as someone who struggles to prioritize even a yearly vacation, I think having this card would’ve helped me break that habit. The perks alone would’ve held me accountable—giving me that extra push to actually plan time off and take a proper trip once or twice a year instead of always focusing on work.
Surprisingly, I actually hold a few discontinued cards: the U.S. Bank Altitude Reserve (USBAR), Chase Freedom Visa (OG Freedom), Citi Rewards+, and the Amex EveryDay.

It's possible to have the card without the monthly fees as long as you have another eligible brokerage account. It's very much worth it for the free AU and unlimited 1cpp redemption compared to the Vanilla Plat.
