In February American Airlines introduced their Citi Executive AAdvantage credit card. It came with a steep $450 annual fee but offered AAdmirals club access, a $200 credit after $200 in purchases as well as 100,000 miles after spending $10,000 on the card in three months. As of today that offer is dead.
But the good news is that they’ve got a new offer! Not quite as many miles but with a lower spending requirement. The new offer is 75,000 miles after $7,500 in spending within three months. There’s a $100 credit after $100 in spending though the $450 annual fee is still in place.
Offer: Citi Executive/AAdvantage World Elite MasterCard
Full list of terms:
What’s not mentioned is that these cards are churnable! That means you can apply for and receive the card, meet the spending requirement, collect the miles, then cancel the card and start the cycle all over! Being a little more cautious than some, I picked up two of the 100,000 mile offers. I plan to pick up one of the 75,000 cards when it’s time for my next round of credit card applications. There are some limitations as to how quickly you can churn these so feel free to ask if you have questions.
Thanks to View From The Wing for pointing out this offer!
A great alternative to the AA credit card is the Citibank Prestige Card. Check out a review at my blog trickthetravel.wordpress.com Please follow me if you liked the tips!
I was not familiar with that card; thanks for pointing it out! It offers lounge access, no foreign transaction fees, a $200 airline credit, up to $100 to cover Global Entry and other benefits. Looks like the current offer is 30,000 Thank You Points after $2000 spend in 3 months. That’s pretty easy to do.
