"Businesses must have a minimum of 5 travelers and spend $5,000 on American Airlines flights over 12 months to use their miles. These requirements are waived for CitiBusiness® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® Mastercard® cardmembers."

Ah, thanks!

So an EXP with the AA Biz account and a Citi Biz CC can earn 13 LP/$ rather than 11. Assuming you need 180k LPs to requal (with the 20k from the Exec card), that's $13,846 in AA spend (versus $16,364 at 11 LP/$), which really takes the edge off.

I see no reason not to do this.
