The Exec therefore doesn't break any "established" Citi-wide rules, it simply has different card-specific rules than other AA cards of the moment do.

There are three categories of AA cards at the moment, each with their specific rules (again all on top of the Citi-Wide 8/65 rules): the Executive card, the other personal AA cards, and the business AA cards.
