if you can find use for blacklane credit, you can get up to $300, $100 for spend in aug-dec 25, $100 for spend in jan - jun 26, and $100 for spend in jul 26, but really they are worth $0 - $60 for me
yea. i see wat ur saying now. but i was actually thinking of triple dip. hence i mentioned DEC app. but as u said, u can double dip if u app now and still get 2025 / 2026 double coupon credit. even triple dip limo service if useful.
It would be great to get some real world data points; and that may change the perception of “value” some people are attributing to the passes.
If they are treated like regular day passes, then there are going to be significant periods of time when they will not be able to be used at some hub airports, especially PHX, CLT and PHL.
yes. 100%. and thats why pple should not put too much value into the 4x AA passes. they should expect peepee pass level of space denials. i dont see these AA passes give more access.

The credits and passes are all calendar year. So if you apply now you get 2025 credits and 2025 AA passes and then new ones in January 2026. If you wait until December you could potentially triple dip, but there might not be a 100k offer in December. We don't know how long credits will take to post so triple dip may not be possible and I'm not interested in pursuing the triple dip when there is 100k available now.
ya. i dont think theres a wrong way. u can double dip now w/ 100k SUB or triple dip later. cuz who knows if citi will do 180 change TC like USB smartly. that was a dumpster fire.
