Doesn't it say you won't get the bonus if you've opened or closed any AA card other than the business card in the past 24 months? If so, that would obviously include the Exec, since it's not the business card.

The AA Exec is a personal card, the AA Gold is a personal card, and the AA Plat is a personal card.

The reason they have separate threads here on FT is because the Exec has such completely different benefits, not because the Exec is not a personal card. (In fact, it's the business card that's discussed together with personal Gold and personal Plat in the same thread, because the benefits of the business card are much more similar to the benefits of the Plat card than to the benefits of the Exec card.)

So how the cards are grouped in the FT threads has nothing to do with how Citi groups them for purposes of the 24-month rule.
