8 Reasons Citi New Premium Card Is Amazing Value In Year One
Citi launched a new premium credit card into an already crowded market — and it’s getting a lot of attention. Between a 75,000-point bonus, transferable points including American Airlines, and credits that can be used twice in the first year, the value can easily exceed the card’s annual fee.

Thompson Seattleレビュー
サマリー Thompsonブランドでもボトムよりのホテルでサービスもイマイチ。シアトル観光で1-2泊ぐらいなら許容範囲内。高級感はあるようでない   予約 ChaseのSapphire ReserveのベネフィットThe Editクレジット250ドルを使い予約しました。The Edit予約はHyatt eligible rateということでHyattから直接予約したものと同じ扱い。 しかし、The Editを予約する時の値段はDestination feeやResort feeが含まれた金額。このThompson SeattleはDestination feeが1泊Tax後で33ドルほどします。The Editは最低2泊しないとクレジットをもらえません。なので2泊するとDestination feeだけで66ドルほど余分に支払うことになります（GlobalistはDestination feeが免除）。 私はGlobalistなのでDestination feeをWaiveするようにお願い何度かしましたが、支払いがChaseだからChaseにお願いしてやってもらって！と明らかに意味のないことを提案されました。 ちなみにキャッシュだと350-500ドルぐらいするホテルです。 アクセス スタバの1号店に徒歩1分ほどで行ける位置にあるホテルです。ということでシアトル観光名所のPike Place Marketにかなり近いです。なので観光には利用しやすいホテルだと思います。 スペースニードルも徒歩20分ほどです。   チェックイン 夜にチェックインしましたが、担当していた人の態度があまりにもフレンドリーでThompsonブランド（一応高級ホテル）を一切感じさせない感じでした。もちろんThank you for being a globalistとかもなく、しまいにはAmexのFHRとChaseのThe Editのベネフィットを混同して説明しはじめました・・・ Chaseのクレジットカードがないとホテルクレジット$100はあげれないと言いだしました。そんなことはT&Cにどこにも書いていないと思う、書いてあるなら教えて欲しいとお願いしても自分の考えを押し付ける感じの対応です。 もちろんこのことを滞在後のSurveyで詳しく書いてクレームしたけど、ホテルからは返事が一切ありません。ま、結局ここはそういうレベルのホテルということなんだと思います。   部屋 部屋は確か514でした。一応Welcome giftみたいなのがありました Thompsonと言ったらあの有名なロゴのシーツがあったりしますが、ここはちょっといいRegencyにアメニティはThompsonの物を使いました。という感じです。 部屋からの景色（朝） 部屋からの景色（夜） 観光地やレストランが近いので夜は外からの音が多少気になります。   ジム この規模のホテルにしてはジムは小さいです。そしてとりあえず作ればいいや！という感じが伝わってくる殺風景なジム  ...
