(And to anticipate one possible response: nope, I'm not taking on that task. I spent plenty of time over the years maintaining wikis, including this one; with rare exceptions, I'm done, for reasons the FT rules prohibit me from stating publicly.)
I attempted to clean up the worst cases I noticed: The very top, and FAQ #1 . I did not try to figure out how to clean up the historical part. (Some of the historical stuff is now incomplete, because it doesn't document the most-recent-but-no-longer-applicable rules, but getting that history right seems much less important at this point than getting right how it works now.)
Please be aware that while these rules are I think consistent for all AA cards at Citi, they may not (yet?) be consistent across all cards in all programs at Citi.
