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:

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.

Here are the minimum credit limit required amounts in order to keep an account open (for purposes of new card applications and reconsiderations)

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

I've been fortunate. My wife's first card, on the other hand, has seen two statements and no miles yet.

Finally decided to make an account.
Got denied for card #3. Called recon and within 5 seconds of telling the CSR my application ID, she named all 4 cards I have had with Citi and said my last two Exec cards were open in the last 60 days. Weird because they usually put you on hold before knowing all the info. I said that I didn't need any new credit but no dice. She said i'm not eligible for this offer since I already had it twice but thanked me for my long history with Citi. Hung up and called 5 minutes later and talked with a different Rep in a different state. Before she put me on hold, I told her I'm not looking for any new credit just want to move credit from one of my 4 other cards. She came back with denied. From what I can tell the computer just told her denied. I'm waiting for the letter to see the exact reason.
Data points:
1/30/2014 - Exec 1 - approved after calling. Needed to add cellphone number
2/23/2014 - Exec 2 - approved after calling. Only given 5k + moved some from first card
4/04/2014 - Exec 3 - denied. card 1 & 2 were both open at the time of application.
By my count I was at 64 days before applying for card number 3. I applied all 3 times using the same original link (the first one).

I jumped in on the initial card in this thread, the 60K offer with no statement credit. I was offered a match to 100K: initially they said I would not have to do any additional spend, and then they changed and said I would have to do the additional spending so I just cancelled when I could instead. My timeline, after opening 4 Platinum and 1 Gold card in 2013:
1/16: Opened card #1, 60K offer, moved credit from and closed a Platinum card as part of the app.
1/24: Card #1 statement closed, no AF, miles posted 2 days later.
2/3: Opened card #2, 100K offer, moved credit from Exec #1.
2/24: Card #1 second statement closed with AF.
2/25: Card #2 statement closed with AF, miles posted 2 days later.
3/21: Opened card #3, 100K offer, moved credit from another old card.
3/22: Cancelled #1 via SM, fee refunded 3/23 or 3/24.
3/24: Cancelled #2 via SM, fee refunded 3/25.
4/4: Card #3 statement closed with AF, miles posted 2 days later.
4/19: Reminder in my calendar to open card #4.
5/25: reminder in my calendar to open card #5.
1/16: Opened card #1, 60K offer, moved credit from and closed a Platinum card as part of the app.
1/24: Card #1 statement closed, no AF, miles posted 2 days later.
2/3: Opened card #2, 100K offer, moved credit from Exec #1.
2/24: Card #1 second statement closed with AF.
2/25: Card #2 statement closed with AF, miles posted 2 days later.
3/21: Opened card #3, 100K offer, moved credit from another old card.
3/22: Cancelled #1 via SM, fee refunded 3/23 or 3/24.
3/24: Cancelled #2 via SM, fee refunded 3/25.
4/4: Card #3 statement closed with AF, miles posted 2 days later.
4/19: Reminder in my calendar to open card #4.
5/25: reminder in my calendar to open card #5.
How was AF refunded? Did you paid off all the balance before sending SM to cancel? or waited for AF to be refunded to the card and then paid the remaining balance?

#2 I paid the full balance by the due date. The AF refund left a $450 credit balance, then I sent an SM and requested they apply it to another account which had a balance.
No problem either way, and should be no problem to cancel with a balance and then pay in full after the AF is refunded. No thinking needed, just pay the full balance due on the due date if there is any to avoid interest and fees.

I got the 60k offer and the 100k offer
( Should have gone for the 75k offer perhaps )
I am beginning to think that there may be a 2 card limit for this one, perhaps at a time. In a few months it will be time to close the 60k and try out the 75k

There's a subset of people in this who want to get as much as they can while putting nothing into it. Basically, they want a free lunch. You/I/others are a little more flexible, if something represents a good deal then we want it. It's a difference of perspective and approach, but the former approach is not kind to longevity...
I have learnt not to ask for too much but see the value and act upon it without question.
110k miles for 250$ (+200$ opportunity cost) is still 0.4 cpm- a great value.
I am happy to get 2 each for each member of the family.
That is enough to spread the wealth around.
With the death of VR at CVS and overall focus on MS everywhere, it is time to slow and continue than pull it all at once and kill the deal.

I personally like the DL model better - upto 110k MQMs from 220k spend
I think if Citi offered a card with 1k EQM for every 5 k spend up to 500k annual spend, we would be all over it in a heart beat, even if you could not roll it over like DL or keep it "flex" like UA.
UA does it with the old CO PPlus card - still throws its benefits to us for PP status using the "flex EQMs".
