cant access AA account - first time login

i signed up for a citibank american airlines card and didnt create an AA account first.

didnt realize it wouldnt supply my number or email. now i have no way to access the account. ive called several reps and they wont help unless i can tell them the phone number or email. obviously i dont know those since they created the account and not me.


any idea? i told them how many miles i have based on what i see from my credit card login.

Maybe this is obvious, but if AA is asking for your phone and email, would that not just be whatever phone and email you put on your Citi application?
Madison Guy and notquiteaff like this.

You can also ask Citi (via Chat, for example) for the account number. I recently opened a new Exec MC. My first statement closed and the miles didn’t post to the AA account. After a few days I reached out to Citi since I was concerned about them maybe having created a new AA account even though I had provided my existing number. The agent on chat gave me the AA number, and it was mine.

(I still don’t know why those miles and LP haven’t posted yet - it was in late Feb, so perhaps the special Feb processing had already started a bit early, but for 5 miles/LP I haven’t bothered to follow up yet)
