Quote: Amazing. That away7 landing page must be quite new. When I just applied under the fly6 landing page a couple weeks ago, I had tried fly0 to fly9 as well as away0 to away9. Certainly never came across that offer at the time, and had to settle for fly6. It has everything of the away7 offer except for the $150...well fly6 requires $500 less spending, but... 'big... deal'.

At any rate, good find. Definitely the most solid offer since the demise of the 75,000 offers.
away7 must be new because it expires 1/31/2012. It would be interesting to see what other offers pop up by Christmas.
Quote: I received an email for the aadvantage business card 40k visa and 40k mastercard. Would I be able to apply for both the visa 50k visa and 40k mastercard at the same time similar to the personal applications?
Sorry to bump my own post, but it never received an answer. Can you apply for 2 business cards at once? 1 mastercard, 1 visa for a total of 90k miles rather than just the visa for 50k

Short answer is no.

1. There are two different application timeframes that are important in this offer. Citi only allows 2 applications for ANY Citi card within a 60 day timeframe. Citi only allows 1 application for a business card every 90 days. So if you apply for a Sears card and an AA Visa, you have to wait 60+ days before applying for the business card. If you applied and were denied for just a business card, you have to wait 90+ days before trying again.
Did anyone ever get the companion certificate from the first post? It would be nice to see the Terms and Conditions.

Well got my new card today with the lesser offer (sans $150 credit) through the fly6 link.

Voicing my concerns about a better offer showing up so soon (away7), I got through to retentions where they immediately gave me an $85 statement credit, an extra 750 bonus miles per month, for each month that I spend $750 for the next 12 billing cycles, and finally a one time bonus of 20,000 AAdvantage miles to post on my next statement cycle date. This of course is in addition to the 50,000 miles I'll get for having spent $2500, and the two 1-day admiral club passes that were part of the sign on offer.

They must like you more than they like me. I'm in basically the same situation, missed the 75k and wanted to get the miles in before 12/1 if possible so I applied under the same fly6 offer. I went the secure message route and only got 5k miles. Was told I wasn't solicited for it. I only did the message for the VISA, perhaps I should give a call on the AMEX to try to reach retention (approved for both)?

Sounds like you came out ahead of even this new offer. Never hurts to ask!
$100 statement credit qualifying purchase?
Does anyone know if buying some chips on board would qualify as an AA billed charge, thereby triggering the $100 statement credit offered?

The T&C's don't specifically says that it doesn't, and if it did exclude it that would leave pretty much only airfare (copays and such inlcuded) abnd maybe baggage fees as the only available AA purchases.
Success with the business card! My first business card, they took 2-3 days for a decision but they did not ask for any documentation. I took advantage of the 2 personal 75k offer this summer but just missed out on the 75k business offer.
Question about the offer: do you get the AA lounge passes instantly? When you get your AA Citi card? Or how long does it take to receive them?

I asked the CSR about this over the weekend. She was rather clueless and took 10 minutes to find an answer and I'm not sure it was the right one.

She seemed to think that you just show the credit card upon entry into the admirals club, which sounds suspiciously like she's confusing this with the Executive MC. I told her so, and further said 'that doesn't really make sense, would it not be a paper certificate that I simply redeem with them', but, she continued to insist that the passes are tied to the credit card and AAdvantage number, so AA will 'deduct' a 'AC credit' from the card.

Although this is plausible, I would figure a paper pass would be more likely. However, if she is accurate, then this very much sucks, because we won't be able to give the passes away to friends/family.

I'm really doubting this since the T&C state:
Each pass must be filled in completely and presented at time of visit. "Pass holder" must be at least 18 years of age and hold a same-day ticket for travel on American Airlines that allows clearance though security for flight departure and access to the Admirals Club lounge.

Technically speaking, which tickets allow access to the Admirals Club lounge? International First & Business right? So this could be interpreted as a redundant benefit

I received the AMEX 50K (the $2.5K spend) card and when I called in to verify my passes, they said that all I have to show is my AMEX card for entry. I asked how do they know if I haven't already used them, and she replied that I can have access to the lounge as long as I have the card, indefinately!!! I really can't believe this benefit to be true or even possible, but she went to ask around and came back with the same answer. Has anyone else had experience with this type of response?

So, you got generally the same response I got, and she went around asking about it too, just like mine... you sure we didn't get the same CSR?

I'm 99.9% certain she/they have confused this 2 AC day passes bonus of the regular card with the AC membership benefit of the Executive card.

I will call back in a couple weeks to inquire about the passes again, hopefully by then the CSR's are a little more up to date. Or perhaps they'll just mail out the passes when the statement in which I hit my spending requirement for the miles closes -- which will happen in less than a couple of weeks for me.
