The rebate program (which began in April 2012) applies only to primary card holders of these cards:
It does not apply to the Citi Gold World MasterCard, Citi Executive products, or some of the Citi Business cards.
The maximum rebate for any cardholder in a single calendar year is 10,000 miles per AAdvantage account. Having more than one qualifying Citi AA card will not allow you to receive a larger rebate.

I had 10K miles show up for an April 25 transaction this morning. A bit tardy, but well-appreciated.

was told the same thing for lu
I just called CITI AA and was told I have to pay for the ticket with the CITI AA credit card to get 10% back, but I really would like to pay with AmEx. I have a ticket on hold for the next 2 h. Can someone share experience whether the benefit applies when ticket is paid using a card not issued by CITI AA?

I know this thread concerns the 10% redemption which has already been answered, but I also was given two sets of info regarding the "free checked bag." I was initially told by Citi that I had to pay for my ticket with the eligible Citi AAdvantage card to receive the free checked bag, but after reviewing the guidelines, I called AAdvantage & they told me it was a benefit for being a cardmember and the purchase did not have to be with that card.
Cheers!

Has this worked for anyone for awards booked before April? I booked in Feb but traveled in April. Still have the card. Would be nice if I could claim 10k back...
Thanks!
Thanks!

A flight booked in Feb will not qualify. The exception (which worked for me personally) is to make a change to the reservation, resulting in the ticket being reissued, after the new benefits kicked in.

looks like it takes about 3 weeks now to get the miles back - redeemed miles on 8/29 and received rebate today

I think it may be monthly(?) batch processing. Also today, I got my rebate for a booking made on 8/2 to be flown in November. Still waiting on my ~$4 rebate for in flight purchases in May but if something is going to be broken, I'd rather it not be the miles.

Can anyone confirm if award tickets booked with a non-AA credit card (for the tax portion) receives the 10% rebate? Does the award have to include the Citi cardholder/AA account holder as a flying passenger or can it be for another passenger? Does this rebate apply to all Citi/AA credit cards?

On May 22nd I used miles for a miles plus copay upgrade. The rebate showed up on June 10th. On August 10th I made a reduced mileage reservation and the rebate showed up on September 17th. So, yes it appears that the rebates show up approximately once a month.
Just two more data points...

Just curious. Has anyone gotten more than 10K rebate for having 2 cards? Or is 10K the max regardless of how many cards you have?
