I'd greatly appreciate all of your help in figuring out if this card is right for me. I currently have Gold status (just eeked out 26k miles last year) but my husband does not. Since I barely made it, it's a toss up if I'll fly enough this year though the 25% bonus for Gold status will certainly help. I do not currently have AC membership.

We will easily spend the $40k needed to get the extra bonus miles each year and exclusively fly American Airlines. I'm still debating if the Citi Executive makes sense for me since I already get some of the benefits with my Gold status already but I do love the idea of having AC access and elite qualifying miles. We currently use the AA Citi Business card with $75 annual fee.

What do you think? Thanks in advance!
