Once again reported that all links with sign up bonus are dead. Reported on Dec 5, and again on Dec 10.
Reported on Nov 4, 2017 that no offers for a Prestige card with any sign up bonus at all exist anymore. The links below do not work. Even if you get to a landing page, the link to the app page will list either "page not found", or "system error". You might want to check back at some point, since the sign up bonus for the Premier disappeared for a while, and is now back (although for only 30K instead of 50K).
Prestige Cards have a $450 annual fee, not waived first year.
There is also an additional fee for each additional user.
Top Prestige Card Offers
1) 75k Bonus Landing Page after $7,500 spend in 3 months. $450 fee Not Waived first year
2) 50k Bonus Landing Page/rightclick/incognito mode after $5000 spend in 3 months, $450 fee Not Waived first year; This offer will only show in incognito mode, it has to be a new session, as the offer, app link won't load otherwise.
3) 40K Bonus 4k in 4months
Other, not so good, offer:
Application page for Citi Prestige MC offer for 40K miles after $4000 spend in 3 months $450 fee Not Waived first year, No landing Page for this link.

So this has the 18 month rule, but is it still subject to the 8/65 rule? My next churn date for exec is coming up, not sure if I should go for this or another exec. Anyone done the pros and cons analysis? To me the exec still looks (marginally) better. Is everyone comfortable finding SQ or AF redemptions?

I applied Friday morning and my UPS Next Day air envelope came today. However, it's not the card. It is just the account approval notice enclosed with the card agreement, facts about fees, and privacy notice. Seems like a waste to Next Day air this info. Only says the card should be in the mail 7 days from date of the letter. Is this the case or have people been getting their cards FedEx?

My AA exec card is up for renewal. I use it mostly for Admirals Club access. The way I look at it I have at least 3 options:
1. Renew, pay the $450 annual fee
2. Apply for new Exec card (#6), pay $450 on new card, cancel old card, spend $5K collect 50K AA miles
3. Apply for Prestige, pay $450, get all the $$ bennies, cancel old card, spend $3K collect 50K TYP
Option is clearly not very rewarding; is there any reason to prefer option 2 over 3?

The TYP are currently not transferable to AA, but you can redeem them at 1.6c each for revenue bookings on US/AA. If you travel predominantly on US/AA, then you will not be missing out on much with the Admirals Club access offered by the Prestige as opposed to Admirals Club membership on the AA Exec.
I believe you could product change the AA Exec to a Citi Doublecash (preserving account history and credit limit), apply for the Prestige for the 50K TYP bonus, and then some time later apply for an AA Platinum Personal and/or Business for that 50K AA mile bonus (or 100K AA if you get both).

I applied on Friday evening and received the 'Package scheduled for delivery' email this morning from UPS My Choice. Delivery scheduled for tomorrow.
So according to themicah's reply, I have to wait (hopefully just a day or twp) for the Fedex delivery for the card! Sigh!
The only reason I'm anxious to get the card soon is because I'm flying out this weekend, and this card would be very handy.

Card should be here tomorrow according to fedex.
Shipping from Jacksonville, Florida.
One cancelled shipment, and one regular shipment just like another poster here had.

Are you sure about that, as my understanding is the AA ticket is booked through their travel agent, and not directly from an airline.

Since I'm planning to cancel the Exec card now that I have the Prestige, I asked today about transferring the Exec card's credit line over. Basically it's no problem but will entail a "hard" credit bureau inquiry. Really?
(Some searching indicates that the answer may be, "Yes, really!")
On your question, my Prestige application (done in-branch at Citi's main office in New York) took about a week to process and, yes, they do indeed send the thing out by overnight mail without being asked and without even promising to do so. That's just the way they seem to do it.
Any insight into my question would be really helpful. Thanks.
