I am flying in June and made a reservation on March 20th using paper vouchers. On April 2nd, my flights were changed due to schedule change. Same record number. I mailed the vouchers and the tickets were issued on April 10.
So actual booking was before April 2nd but ticketing was after that. Any way to figure out if I will be allowed free first bag?

multiple cards
My husband and I had 5 cards. I canceled one 2 weeks ago. Received one of these letters last week and 3 today, one of which was for the canceled card.

First checked bag free
For benefit to apply, at the time of booking, Citi® / AAdvantage® account must have been open at least 7 days and reservation must include the primary cardmember's American Airlines AAdvantage® number. This benefit is valid for travel booked and ticketed on or after April 2, 2012. If your credit card account is closed for any reason, this benefit will be cancelled. Eligible Citi® / AAdvantage® cardmembers may check one bag free of charge when traveling on American Airlines, American Eagle or the AmericanConnection® carrier to select domestic destinations. Up to four customers traveling with the eligible primary credit cardmember will also get their first checked bag free of charge if they are listed in the same reservation. Waiver does not apply to overweight or oversized bags. This benefit cannot be combined with any existing AAdvantage® elite program benefits, including any waiver of baggage charges. Please see AA.com for baggage weight and size restrictions. Additional terms, conditions and restrictions may apply. Applicable terms and conditions are subject to change without notice.
Could AmericanAirlines please provide us with which domestic destinations are included on (or excluded from) the list of "select domestic destinations"?

10% miles back for paying Admiral's Club with miles
I called the number on the back of my Citi Bank Visa Signature card. I pointed out that the link in post #1 of this thread takes us to an AA page that says that Admiral's Club is a place to redeem miles for the 10% back. The rep put me on hold while he talked to a supervisor. He returned to me saying that I can definitely expect 10% of the miles back in 6-8 weeks.
This was good news and I renewed my Admiral's Club membership today with miles.

Nall: you are right and thanks for posting! I called Advantage Customer Service and the Admiral's Club today. They did not have an answer.

New Citi® Platinum Select® / AAdvantage® Visa Signature® Card Benefits
Two questions:
1. I've had a Citibank Gold AAdvantage card for 15 years, oldest card so I don't want to cancel. From what I'm reading here, this card will not get the new benefits (free first bag, 10% return on award bookings, $100 stmt credit, etc.) Is that correct? If so, I'm thinking of applying for the new card.
2. I have seen multiple links to apply for the new Citi Platinum Select. The link on the Citi website shows a 30,000 mile bonus. Also found a link on a blogpost that shows a 50,000 mile bonus. If I apply through the 50,000 mile link, will I actually get 50,000 miles or will I get the 30,000?
Thanks!

Telephone Citibank. Your old card is likely fine, but get proof. I got a letter confirming mine is OK.

You called Citi and pointed them to a link in post #1 that is for an officially expired offer that still works? I know Citi can and might be monitoring these forums, and that at least some parts of Citi must know about the expired offers that are still valid (especially since older ones have been deactivated), but why would you unnecessarily draw extra attention to what has been a terrific bonus for us?

2 our of 4 in our house
I have 2 Citi AA cards (MC & Amex) and SO has 2 (Amex & Visa). We both received letters (me for the MC, SO for the Visa) on Friday informing us of the change to the card benefits, as well as the increased annual fee from $85 to $95. We both have status on AA, so the first bag free and priority boarding don't affect us. We'll have to remember to use our cards if we buy a drink onboard to get the 25% savings.

Just got the offer via email. I have a Citi AA card. Read through much though not all of the posts here. Am I correct in assuming that if I redeemed miles before April 2 (that is, in March) I will NOT get the 10 percent mileage back?
Thanks for any help.

Certainly makes my gold status less significant and for the people that bought their way to gold last year, this has to be a big bummer. By churning or having the fee waived by threatening to cancel next year, now you can have "almost" gold benefits without any cost.

What are the significant differences between this card and the other ongoing Citi AA card with the 50,000 mile offer? Priority boarding? Just trying to determine which is the better Citi offer.
Thanks.
Thanks.
