Dave
But you'll initially need to be Gold or Platinum in order to be able to earn unlimited miles on a Citibank/AA credit card. Otherwise there is a 60,000 or 100,000 mile annual earnings cap.

But once I win the lottery, I'll park a bunch of my millions in a Guaranty Bank account until I'm lifetime Platinum. Then I'll kick back and enjoy life.
