-----------------------------------
For questions NOT related to the application process - such as experiences using benefits - refer to the AA forum thread on this card: AA Citibank Executive / AAdvantage World Elite MasterCard (Master Thread)
Recommended Application Procedure:
Clear cache and cookies prior to applying or use an incognito or private browsing session to apply. Opening multiple different apps in different windows or tabs or failing to clear cookies/cache has resulted in people receiving a lesser offer for some Citi cards. [B]We do not know, and Citi has not indicated, how long these offers will last. Citi has left other offers alive for over a year beyond the 'apply by' date in the past. These links could be here all year or gone tomorrow. If the application loads, it is good, based on past Citi applications that survived past the landing page expiration, regardless of any posted or advertised 'apply by' date.
MOST CURRENT LINKS:
As of 8/19/14, the 60K+ links are no longer working, and give the following error:

Many thanks to cerealmarketer - Citi AA Executive Personal Mastercard, 60,000 miles after $5k spend in 3 months, Admirals Club access for cardholder and family or cardholder and two guests. $450 annual fee, not waived.

Current 50K public offer: (Be carefull this link is showing as 30k in citi system, use other link for 50k) Landing page for 50K for $5K spending, no statement credit and application.
New 50k offer:
Landing page for New 50K for $5K spending, no statement credit - Application Link WARNING: This landing page contains the following in the Footnotes: "American Airlines AAdvantage® bonus miles are not available if you have had a Citi Executive® / AAdvantage® World EliteTM MasterCard® opened or closed in the past 18 months." But the app link directly following it goes to a totally different app page, which is reported to be working as usual.
EXPEDITED SHIPPING
While reconsideration/application reps do not seem to be aware of this, these cards are expedited and usually arrive 1-2 days after approval.The CSR will not take a request to expedite the card.
Who is eligible for this card? Anyone as long as you can be approved for the minimum $5K credit line, subject to the standard Citi rules of 1 Citi app or card of any kind per 8 days and 2 Citi cards or apps of any kind per 65 days. It is always advisable to wait 65 days from any type of Citi denial before applying for another Citi card. Many have reported getting approved for this card in spite of having several open AA cards over the past year as well as having previously had this card.
Not sure about the 8 and 65 day rules? If your most recent application for any Citi card is less than click here - 8 days ago, you need to wait. Also, if your previous (second-to-last) Citi application is less than click here - 65 days ago, you need to wait. These are not rules published or known by Citi CSRs but rather based on thousands of Citi card applications and datapoints across several threads.
This card can be churned. Recent datapoints concerning multiple Executive cards include posts 917, 1059 and starting at 1365. For in-depth datapoints and advice on churning Citi cards, read and study the extensive wiki posts in the HH thread and the AA Plat/gold thread. Click the plus on the right hand side of the wiki if you do not see the wiki text. Datapoints for bonus points posting on multiple cards include post 2579.
Getting around the $450 annual fee: Some have been able to meet the spending requirement before the first statement posts and then cancel and have the fee refunded after the miles post. Details and datapoints include starting at post 74. T&C state that the card must be cancelled within 30 days of the fee posting to get it refunded. Potential problems with this plans include a very short (1 week or less) first "month" as well as delays in miles posting which have been reported by several FTers here http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/credi...ost-first.html. YMMV. If paying $250-$450 for a year's access to Admirals Clubs and the 60K-100K miles is a deal breaker, this card may not be for you.
Once you cancel the card (within the 37 day window of AF posting) the refund will post on the account between 1-3 business days.
Retention Bonus Offers: User have been offered the following retention bonus offers when calling to cancel the card:
- 5,000 points + $100 credit with $1,500 spend per month for 3 months 5333
- 2 additional club member passes 6862
- 1,000 bonus miles each month for 16 month, min $1k spend/month 6862
Already a member? If you already purchased an AC membership (for example, using the credit from Amex Plat) and apply and are approved for this card, AA will refund you the pro-rated AF from any time left on your membership.
When do miles post? Usually a few days after your statement closes. In some cases your statement will show the correct miles earned but will show 0 miles reported to AA. In this case see this thread.
Please post more experiences about cancelling to avoid the $450 fee
Helpful points from post #3794 and others, especially for those new to Citi:
1) Citi CSRs are clueless, so disregard everything they say that seems to contradict anything you have read on F/T. And take everything else with a big grain of salt. I was told 3 times VERY CLEARLY "You will not got your annual fee refunded" while I was cancelling, but I did get it.
2a) With Citi, if you are approved for a card, and meet the minimum spend requirement, you will get the bonus listed for the offer you applied for. Every time ! Unlike Chase or AMEX, who will send you a card, wait for you to pay the fee and spend, and then say "sorry, you don't qualify for a bonus". If Citi doesn't intend to give you the bonus, they will just deny your app. They won't even do a pull, they will just instantly deny your app. If they send you the card, and you meet the spend on time, you will get the bonus. My attorney insists I add "that could change tomorrow", but from the Big Bang thru today, that has always been true.
2b) Another helpful post discussing timeframe for meeting min spend: 6279
3) Any expectation that Citi will do things that make sense is just plain silly. They won't.
Admiral Club Access: You do not need to be flying AA that particular day of travel. (Ex: you're flying DL on the day of travel...you could still enter the AC lounge, even though you're not on an AA flight that day.) Beware, though, that individual lounges have individual rules (see the link below). Alternate rules usually come w/ Qantas lounges, not AA lounges. Furthermore, AC access "comes with" US Air access (19 locations). An authorized user does not have AC access unless they are with the primary card holder. The authorized user's card will have the "Admiral Club" language omitted from the back of their card.
For reference, an AC lounge list: http://www.aa.com/i18n/travelInforma...#admirals-club
For questions and discussions on lounge access: Help Desk: Lounge Access and Lounge Access Rules
$200 Statement Credit on any purchase:
Multiple datapoints within this thread as well as multiple confirmations from CSRs say that the $200 statement credit is for any purchase.
Also, please note that these cards do not include the 10% miles rebate offered by some other Citi AA products.
What about the EQM? AA tracks your miles earned on Executive card(s) and adds 10K Elite Qualifying Miles to your EQM balance once you earn 40,000 miles during a calendar year on Executive card(s). Any number of Executive cards can add up to the 40K, and you cannot earn more than 10K EQM each year. No redeemable miles are added, and this is of no consequence or value unless you will also earn at least 15K additional EQM in a given year by flying and 10K will bump you up to the next status level.

Concierge service enrollment (allows for electronic requests). Concierge number is +18778812668
Here are the minimum credit limit required amounts in order to keep an account open (for purposes of new card applications and reconsiderations)
Citi Amex 1k (likely citi gold as well)
Citi Visa signature/world MasterCard 3k
Citi World elite Mastercards (including exec) 5k
Advice to those new to citi American Airlines cards,
If you are just starting out please apply and use the lower level citi AA card for a while before moving on to this thread and card. This will help you in the long run in more ways than one. Most of us here have opened and used lower level AA cards before moving on to this thread and card

Been going through hell for this card.
I was Status Pending and I called and they said they need to send a utility bill to validate my address and I could fax it so I faxed it over and there is nothing else I could do but wait for a response.

....I'm completely cool. Not worried and I don't think I'm getting stiffed. I'm not ad nauseum posting "where are my miles?!?!!?"
Merely posting a data point demonstrating that Citi is saying zero miles are being transferred to AA.
I've waited 8-10 weeks before points were transferred. This is nothing new. Just a data point, as I know others are curious.

This is the first time 7 calendar days have passed since statement close and I've not received miles into the account. I spent 6k, the 100k should post this cycle.
we'll see. don't really NEED the miles urgently, but it adds to stuff I need to be double checking

I've not had issues with miles posting after statement closes (not BONUSES, but actual miles) until this card.

And you're exactly right, the hassle is with keeping track, but just another thing that must be the name of the game!
Maybe you'll come across someone that will throw in a little additional miles due to your "troubles."

However, I notice that the statement says: "The reported miles is 0"! Details here:
AAdvantage Miles Reported to American Airlines: 0
Purchase Miles: 10,050
Bonus Miles: +100,000
Acummulated This Month: 110,050
Does this mean they will never transfer the miles to AA?

Purchase Miles: 10,050
Bonus Miles: +100,000

I have been trying to gather data points for applicants with below 700 FICO score (my score just dipped to 688 after utilizing 100% credit on a card - lesson learned).
I have AAdvantage MC personal, MC business and Visa personal.
I am wondering if other applicants with sub-700 score had any success in getting this card?

No, but you may want to open a "case" with AAdvantage. You can do so by calling their 800-number and inquiring about why your miles are not posting straight with them. Even if it is Citi's fault, they'll create a case and they should post sometime within two weeks. I've done this twice, now and it has worked both times. Regardless of the fact that they both blame each other for the error.

Quick Update: I called and they didn't need all that. They asked me if they could call me back at the phone number I provided on the app and I said yes. They called me back and I was approved...

It's 3X on all non-bonused spend, so why mention drug stores?

What CB have they been pulling? I am in NY. I really hope they pulled EQ but it seems like recently they have started pulling EX, but I really hope it's not EX. Well either way I was just approved for 10.5k. Submitted application and was told to call immediately, so I did. Guy put me on hold for three minutes came back and said I was approved.Easy enough.

They will email you an app # and link in about 24 hrs. That will let you get your full list of hard pulls for the last 2 years.

The first cut off with Citi may well be 6 in 6. But if you have stellar credit, and decades of excellent history with Citi ccs, as I do, the limit is much higher.

Fortunately, the standard 62.5k F award you mentioned is alive and well, and does not require the connection you described. In addition, in continues to be possible to pay twice the standard award amount (i.e. 125k miles) to obtain a seat when no standard award inventory is otherwise available. Here are some screen shots from about five minutes ago, for a potential nonstop flight in three weeks' time at the standard F award level, for a total cost of 62.5k miles plus approximately USD $2.50:

Hi- I have had about 5 hard pulls since 12/30/13 on Equifax and Experian. Citi and Chase pulled same hard pulls on Equifax and Experian as follows:
2 Citi for both executive cards 12/30 and 2/03
3 Chase 01/01, 02/08 and again 02/08 (Business)
Is it worth taking a shot at a 3rd executive? Credit lines on first is $30,500 and 2nd is $19,000.
Thanks

But you need to wait at least until tomorrow to apply, due to the no more than 2 apps in 65 days rule.
