6 10% Back on Redeemed American Airlines AAdvantage® Miles
For benefit to apply, your Citi® / AAdvantage® account must be open and active at the time of redemption. The American Airlines AAdvantage® bonus miles the primary cardmember earns through this benefit will be based on 10% of the total AAdvantage® miles the primary cardmember redeems each month during the calendar year. The maximum number of AAdvantage® bonus miles that can be earned annually from this benefit is 10,000 AAdvantage® bonus miles per calendar year and per AAdvantage® account, regardless of how many AAdvantage® miles you redeem in that calendar year. This benefit only applies to AAdvantage® miles redeemed from the primary cardmember's AAdvantage® account. Discover all the ways to redeem AAdvantage® miles at aa.com/redeem. Please allow 6-8 weeks after your redemption for the American Airlines AAdvantage® bonus miles to post to the primary cardmember's AAdvantage® account.

I've reported in another thread, but there is a confirmed glitch for reservations already made and received the 10% back. To make a change to the award, the agent usually would redeposit your miles and re-book it in most cases. However, the system thinks you're simply canceling the award and it takes back your 10% without giving it back when the award gets re-booked.
The worst part is that it doesn't show on the online activity, it just deducts the miles by next statement with no activity. So your Starting Balance of the next month will be short (of the 10% you received) from the previous Ending Balance.
Confirmed glitch by AA Customer Service and said you'll just have to call back each time to get it fixed. Many people probably don't notice this since it doesn't show as an activity online.

10% Rebate question (Citi cards)
Does anyone have both the AAdvantage visa/amex and the new "Passport" card? How does it work if you have two (or more) cards that offer the same 10% rebate of miles you use for awards?
E.g. is it 20% of 100k or 10% spread across 200k?

Neither. You get 10% back in miles per calendar year, with a maximum of 10k miles .... irrespective of how many AA cards you have.

Do you have to pay the taxes with the card to get the miles back?

You're doing it wrong if you are paying an annual fee on the AA card. You can get it waived every year, with bonus miles.

Also, what's a Passport Card? Is it part of the passport challenge? I can't find reference to it anywhere online.

Booked an award ticket today and within an hour I had my mileage rebate within an hour. Definite improvement over my last experience where I waited several months. ^

Does this work on OneWorld tickets as well? If I booked a one way JL ticket for 50K through AA with my AAdvantage miles would I still re ceive the 5K bonus?

Earning 10% of redeemed miles
http://www.frugaltravelguy.com/2015/...s-mistake.html
Guys
Can someone explain me how this works? I've had the aadvantage card in the past but no longer do. However, you would never redeem of the card but rather the card would send the miles to your AA account.
So can you redeem 67500 miles off your AA account and expect to get a year-end bonus credit of 6750 miles back?
Thx
