CandymanJim, do you mean to say that those expired links still work? That is, $250 is all you need to charge to get the 20k miles to post? Thank you for any confirmation you can give us.
Incidentally, last week I was checking citicard.com and, although the MasterCard required $750 in charges, the American Express card required only $250. Two or three days later I checked again, but by then the American Express card had gone back up to $750. So far the $250 requirement has not come back to that card. Anyone else noticed that? Either there was a short-lived mistake (which I failed to immediately take advantage of) or I must have been seeing things.

I used the same "expired offer"
I used the same one for Citi about two weeks ago. When I called to activate the card, I had them look at the terms for me and they confirmed the $250 spend requirement.

Please post here when the miles are posted to your AAdvantage Account
Glad to hear that the $250 link works, BUT, I would like to see your confirmation when the AA miles post.
Thanks
Thanks

In august, I used a link that had a spring 2007 expiration date on it. I received the card, made some charges of about $300 in early Sept and just received the bonus points this week.

So far so good. But do you realize that there is a certain risk of miles not being posted becuae they can always ask you to show the offer and there has to be a first time sooner or later. I would rather use the following visa link, although that also expires in 5 days.
Citi AA visa
Citi AA visa

Update: I did receive the card today. I guess error message was in error.

Any links for buisness (visa or mastercard) and AMEX?
The link on post #88 refers to a buisness visa and a personal AMEX that requires only $250 for the miles to post.
The link however, has expired and an error appears when you try to apply.
Anybody have a different link?
If you dont feel comfortable posting please PM
Thanks!
