Each calendar year when you reach $40,000 in spending on purchases with your Citi ExecutiveSM / AAdvantageŽ World EliteTM MasterCardŽ credit card, you will earn 10,000 AAdvantageŽ elite qualifying miles from American Airlines to put you on the fast track to American Airlines AAdvantageŽ elite status membership.
