Bookings made under the "Reserve now, pay later" payment feature with the CitiŽ / AAdvantageŽ Executive World Elite MastercardŽ card will not earn 9X bonus AAdvantageŽ miles."
You never "have" to use a Citi AA credit card for any AA Hotels booking. You can pay with whatever card you want. If doing a Reserve Now/Pay Later booking, I too would certainly use a different card than the Citi Exec.
