Contact 800 blah blah blah if you don't want to have your card replaced otherwise your account will be closed and converted

5,000 bonus miles and 1.25 miles per dollar for 1st year

I have Citi AA Visa and don't want to switch. Isn't there a far better bonus mile promo going on if i DID want a citi Amex anyway?

This happened same way when they tried to get us to switch from Visa to MC a few years ago.

Anyone else get this Snail mail offer?
Personally I think it's just a way to get rid of us stragglers who never switched over willingly the first time.
The standard Citi/AA Amex offer -- you can find it online -- seems to be 15k bonus miles after a spend of something like $250 and 1mi/$ earned on all purchases.

I'd keep the VISA if it is advantageous to you, and apply for a separate Amex instead.
