I want to check the DPs on this particular question which I think I have seen before but couldn't confirm it now:

With the bonus LPs given at the milestones of 50k and 90k LPs - my assumption is that you can earn those each twice in one cardmember year, if your timing is right. Let me spell out my own case:

Got the card in January, was already above 90k for this qualification year, so I was awarded both bonuses within a couple weeks of getting the card. In March we'll reset the qualification year, and begin again. My assumption is that once I reach 50k LPs I will earn the Executive card bonus again, and same for once I reach 90k again (as long as I hit 90k before the end of my cardmember year, in January).

Does that sound right? I'll paste the terms below, which all seem to confirm that you can only earn these bonuses once per qualifying year, but that seems to mean that you can earn it twice in a cardmember year.

Up to 20,000 Additional Loyalty Points

For AAdvantage® status qualifying year, defined as March 1, 2023 – February 29, 2024, the Primary credit cardmember will earn 10,000 additional Loyalty Points for fulfilling one of the following milestones: 1.) after earning 50,000 Loyalty Points, or 2.) after spending $40,000 in purchases that post to the cardmember’s account. You can only earn the first 10,000 additional Loyalty Points once in the AAdvantage® status qualifying year of March 1, 2023 – February 29, 2024.

Additionally, if in that same qualifying year, the Primary credit cardmember earns 90,000 Loyalty Points, the Primary credit cardmember will be awarded an additional 10,000 Loyalty Points. Total additional Loyalty Points that can be earned through this benefit is 20,000 in one qualifying year.

Starting on March 1, 2024, and going forward, the Primary credit cardmember will earn 10,000 additional Loyalty Points after earning 50,000 Loyalty Points each qualifying year. If in that same qualifying year, the Primary credit cardmember earns 90,000 Loyalty Points, the Primary credit cardmember will be awarded an additional 10,000 Loyalty Points. Total additional Loyalty Points that can be earned through this benefit is 20,000 in one qualifying year.

A Primary credit cardmember may earn up to 20,000 additional Loyalty Points only once each qualifying year, even if the credit cardmember has more than one Citi® / AAdvantage® Executive World Elite Mastercard account. Up to 20,000 additional Loyalty Points earned are in addition to any Loyalty Points earned for purchases made on the credit card. Purchases exclude returned goods or services, traveler’s checks, purchases of foreign currency, money orders, wire transfers (and similar cash-like transactions), lottery tickets, and gaming chips (and similar betting transactions). Purchases made through additional credit cards on the Primary credit cardmember’s account (Authorized Users) will count toward the Primary credit cardmember’s qualifying spend.

Additional Loyalty Points earned as a result of this benefit will typically be posted to the Primary credit cardmember’s AAdvantage® account 8-10 weeks after meeting either the Loyalty Points or spend requirements. Loyalty Points only count toward status qualification for the AAdvantage® program. Loyalty Points earned through this benefit will not count toward AAdvantage® Million Miler™ status. Loyalty Points cannot be redeemed for award travel, AAdvantage® miles or any other AAdvantage® program awards. AAdvantage® program status requirements and balance are available at aa.com/newaadvantage ».
