Citi airline credit cards

Looking to compile a list of all Citi-branded airline credit cards and thought FT would be the perfect place to start.

And go...

Citi issues card only for American Airlines' AAdvantage program, no other airline. Start here:

https://creditcards.citi.com/credit-...-credit-cards/

...check the box marked "Travel rewards" and you will see the AA cards mixed in with Hilton and few cards which earn ThankYou rewards.

Now Citi offer three levels of AAdvantage cards:
$50 Gold Visa / Amex
$85 Platinum Select Visa / Amex
$450 Executive World Elite MC

I don't understand why so many people want to use a $50 or $85 Citi AA card after the 1st year. It does not give bonus to AA purchases. The only positive thing is the reduced miles awards. I think only if you have Citi Gold and get annual fee waived, it makes sense to keep it. Even with that, charging your daily spending to a Citi AA card (1 mile/$) is not returning better value than SPG (1.25 mile/$). Assuming you have the Citi AF waived, you just need spend $17.3K to overcome SPG's $65 AF (I take a conservative estimate of 1.5 cent/mile, $17,300*0.25*1.5/100=$65). Also correct if I am wrong, AA miles transferred from SPG also counts for life time AA status. Am I missing something here???

AMEX has limited acceptance so having a MasterCard helps cover places where AMEX is not accepted

And of course, Citi never (or almost never) lists its best offers on that page, and certainly doesn't list offers that are officially expired but still available and working (such as the ongoing 75K offers).

IMO the best source for current best Citi AA offers is MilesBuzz, especially http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/miles...er-thread.html.
