You do not get up to 20k back in those 10% rebates if you have both cards.
Even more on point: Since Citi allows you to have 2 normal AA cards, it's quite possible that Citi allows you to have 2 Executive cards (for those who like to spend $900 on annual fees!), but I assure you, you don't get 20k EQM in that case.
IOTW, there are lots of precedents at AA (as well as elsewhere) for 2 things to say they give you this, but for it not to be additive. There are extremely few precedents I can think of where things to the slightest degree analogous to this are additive.
Appreciate the response, but I respectfully disagree with your analogy. The reason I thought this may be additive is because it is 10K EQM on US Air, while the other 10K EQM is on AA.
If one flies 20K on one airline, and 30K on another airline, will they hit Platinum on AA (or the equivalent on US)? As an extension to that question, what if 10K of the 20K and 10K of the 30K, separately, was through credit card spend?
