* American Airlines, American Eagle, AmericanConnection (AA*)
* One free Economy Class ticket
* One-Way Flex Award - must be claimed roundtrip
* Award travel must originate in the 48 contiguous United States
* 48 contiguous United States to/from:

Uhhh... you have to have a Citibank AAdvantage credit card to secure the reduced mileage awards. That's why this thread is titled, "Citi card reduced mileage awards"
If you have the card, you'll know how to get the award. If you don't have the card you can't get the award anyhow.

As usual, FT is a wealth of informaton. I was dragging my feet on booking an award tik EWR/SAN mid-July departure until the Q3 destinations came out but I guess I shouldn't be dragging anymore - thanks for the heads up, pdog.

Redreeper...
If your current cities aren't on the list, if you're "willing to travel" to LGA.. flights departing from LGA get the reduced mile award.
Hope this helps

Wow - it does. I don't mind traveling to LGA at all. If you don't mind, I could use a little pointing in the right direction as to how to accomplish this; I see LGA as a destination but not the LGA-SAN combo. Looking at Q2.....

And not all flights departing from LGA are eligible for the reduced award mileage, only the ones to the destinations on the list.

With the new Q3 fares it works for LGA being a departure city OR a destination. I've checked it out.
Now for my "big" question.
I've got several citi cards all eligible for these reduction (Amex, M/C gold and plat). I've checked citi's web site and all they have posted in Q2. I've called Citi directly and they direct me to the web site and then say all they "see" is Q2 also. This is also speaking w/someone stateside. I've tried calling aa directly and am put on hold while they check and sometimes they say that my account's aren't eligible but my DH's are (I've got the same cards as he and I'm the primary).
Is it possible to get the Q3 code for a domestic reduced bus/First awards which I believe is offered for Citi M/C Plat or Citi Amex Select cards which should be 42,500 miles.
Many thanks.

PS, if you choose not to post here could someone possibly PM me with directions on where to look on the citi site for the answer. I've looked everywhere.

If I understand your question, and notwithstanding definitive input from someone prior to publishing, you could probably take a good stab at it from looking at the Q1 and Q2 award codes and extrapolating.

Got lucky today.
Finally called EXP line and got someone who knew what she was doing.
Only took about 10 minutes from start to finish. Also provided me w/code if I was going to book additional tickets.
Thank you to everyone who posts the updated cities and offers prior to Citi's official website's update at beginning of eligible quarter. Without FT and knowledge of eligible cities (departure/arrival) we'd be booking an anytime award at 7500 miles higher from our local BDL. By traveling to LGA Alex will get to fly "up front" for 7500 less miles and we won't have to pay for his luggage.

Going by alien's suggestion, the Plat award codes would probably be TD17x5A/UD42x5A for coach/business. Give it a whirl...

I believe the code is UD22X5A for a 42,500 mile award. Not sure if it's for the Citi Amex Select or Citi Plat M/C since the the award code had to be checked to see if I "qualified" (knowing I had all the cards anyway).
Hope this helps someone.
