Citi Visa 10% miles back questions, mile posting delays
As of April 2, certain holders of Citi AA Visa cards get a 10% reduction in the miles required for reward bookings, subject to a maximum of 10,000 miles per year.
The T&Cs say that the account must be open at the tie of redemption, and I was wondering what would happen if I booked an award tomorrow, canceled the card next week, and the 10% miles rebate wwas due to hit my AAdavantage account in late July.
A call to Citi yielded a confused (if reasonable) response that the 10% rebate would not be made, even though the redemption for an award had already occurred. Another good question is when the year starts for purposes of the annual cap. I would guess it is on the card renewal date, but it could be January 1 or for that matter, April 2.
Anyone have any thoughts to add?
