Earn 100,000 Miles with American Airlines Credit Card from Citi

In a move aimed at frequent travelers, Citi and American Airlines have unveiled an enticing new offer on their co-branded American Airlines credit card, the Citi/AAdvantage Executive World Elite Mastercard. The card promises substantial rewards for new users who meet the spending requirements, along with exclusive travel perks.

New cardholders stand to earn a hefty 100,000 American Airlines AAdvantage bonus miles by spending $10,000 within the first three months of opening their account. This bonus could potentially be worth around $1,000 in travel value depending on redemption options, making it a compelling choice for avid travelers looking to maximize their rewards with American Airlines credit cards.

In addition to the sign-up bonus, the credit card offers complimentary access to Admiral Club lounges for the cardholder and immediate family or up to two guests traveling together, valued at $850.

The Citi/AAdvantage Executive card is tailored for American Airlines loyalists. It offers 4 miles for every $1 spent on eligible American Airlines credit purchases, 10x miles on eligible hotel bookings, and car rentals booked via aa.com. All other purchases earn 1 mile/$1 spent. However, the card does come with a steep annual fee of $595 and a variable APR ranging from 21.24% to 29.99%.

For those deterred by the high annual fee, Citi also offers other co-branded American Airlines cards. For example, the MileUp Mastercard has no annual fee and earns 2 miles for every $1 spent on eligible American Airlines purchases and at grocery stores. It also includes a sign-up bonus of 15,000 bonus miles after spending $500 in the first three months.

Potential applicants are advised to compare the benefits of the American Airlines credit card with those of other rewards cards available in the market. They should also consider their travel habits and spending patterns when making their decision.

As the travel industry continues to grow, the launch of this offer reflects American Airlines' strategy to attract and retain high-value customers.
