hey mates on another side note, I have my citi cards and AA miles etc but a friend of mine was looking for the best current link to get x AA miles on sign up bonus with one of their CCs.

I have seen the business Visa for 40k and I thought I saw a personal Visa for 30-40k but I know there's a 50k out there but cannot find the offer. Anything else people know about out there right now?

Funny thing is, this guy runs marathons once a season so HE is MM, not me (and he talks a lot less!)

Anyway, lemme know cuz I want him to think I'm cool and know stuff like.

I am and thanks. I hadnt kept up with anything citi really because my wife and I have pretty much maxed out with them for a while. Have to wait for the next big apporama and for many of my own Citi inquiries to die off so i actually forgot all about that thread. Thank you.

I have no personal knowledge, but I believe others have said that they do not.

Just a question for you all.... Do OD accept it's own gift cards for VN purchases?
