If anyone has a Citi AA credit card, then that must mean they are interested or fly enough on AA to the point they should be familiar with the elite status levels and the boarding process, because why would you ever get an airline co-branded card if you are completely unfamiliar with the airline?
Why? Because people want to accumulate miles from their credit card to use for awards. As such, I would guess that most people with AA credit cards know very little about the status program. And I would also guess that that even includes people who have some status with AA.
