Citibank® / AAdvantage® Debit Card $25\year for 10,000 miles
Can you provide an opinion as to this offer? I want to pull the trigger on the $25 per year offer. I do not spend much money on credit cards and I rather spend the cc purchases on new card minimum spend requirements.
I am interested in gaining AAdvantage miles and I am currently maxed out on my ability to submit new Citibank® / AAdvantage® Card Card applications. I realize that the Citibank AAdvantage credit cards come with 15-20k per card and have no first year fee.

I loathe debit cards but i signed up for this
fwiw, i bank at Citi so i decided to just pay the $25 to get a *relatively* easy 10,000 miles.
i just recently canceled my AA credit card and figured this will fill in the time between now and when i apply for the next one.
My plan is to keep the card in a drawer until the miles post.
Thing is there have been several threads (here or in AA forum or maybe MilesBuzz ?) about what a PITA getting those miles posted can be.
still i decided to go for it.
