I have applied for and sucessfully met the 3k minimum spend on my Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select MC. I applied for the card on 11/24/2014. The card is paid off.
I'd like to apply for another one (maybe a business version). Can I do this? I have no other Citi cards.
Thanks.

Does the Citi AA Gold get the 10% Redemption bonus, just like the Platinum card does?

Thanks!
I just submitted an APP: I got:
"A system error has caused a delay in processing your application. Be assured that we have received it and there is no need to resubmit. We will contact you at the mailing address you provided as soon as it is processed. Thank you!"
LOL

Can you tell us which link you used? Top link without the explicit language, or newer links with the explicit churning restriction language?
Thanks.

I assume by "elite" you mean the World Elite EXECUTIVE card. That is a totally different card from the ones on this thread. And that doesn't limit you from getting the "regular" MC anymore. That is indeed the way it used to be, and if you were to use the top links in the wiki, that would be true.
But the "new" links further down the wiki, the ones that say "with explicit churning restrictions", only limit having gotten Platinum cards. AFAIK having gotten an EXEC does not limit these new apps at all. Just don't use the link at the very top of the wiki, and you should be fine.

The answer (along with related discussion) is in the thread noted in the wiki above.

I'm actually a little confused by this.
I have a Personal Plat AA card. There are references (in the wiki) to Personal Plat AA World Elite MCs. But my card only says World MC (not World Elite). When I go to citi.com, the Personal AA Plat card that you can apply for is World (not World Elite)
I could swear that I remember reading somewhere that the Personal Plat AA cards were being upgraded from World to World Elite. Am I not remembering that correctly?
The World Elite MC has pretty good benefits so I'd like one, if possible.

I did not get this.
having a world elite executive card will restart the clock to block any personal AA card application in next 18 months.

World "Elite" Platinum and Executive World "Elite" are totally different products, however when the notifications went out everyone fixed in on "Elite" and it caused some confusion.
The wiki for the following thread explains it well;
Upgrade to World Elite Mastercard

Your memory has not failed you. Citi did change some accounts from World "Platinum Select" to World "Elite Platinum".
World "Elite" Platinum and Executive World "Elite" are totally different products, however when the notifications went out everyone fixed in on "Elite" and it caused some confusion.

For those who care, what is now the "Platinum Select" card product has been issued as Amex, Visa, and MC cards at different times (like many AA cards). Based on various letters I have received over the last six months, Citi is doing some housekeeping on the branding of the product groups ("Bronze," "Gold," "Platinum Select," and "Executive") so that there is some unity across the cards regardless of issuers. For example, when I call AA about my Platinum Select Visa or MC, no mention is ever made about it being MC or Visa, just a "Platinum Select" card.
The Amex cards are a little more interesting. My 2012-vintage "Citi Select/AAdvantage" Amex card became a "Citi/AAdvantage Platinum Select" Amex sometime in late 2014. I never understood the difference between the two, and clearly no one else did either because the "Citi Select/AAdvantage" brand is now toast according to the reduced awards page :
http://www.aa.com/i18n/AAdvantage/ea...ed_mileage.jsp
Using the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine on that same page, you can see that both gave access to the 7500-mile reduction on some redemptions. Finally, it appears that the former plain, no-Select Amex also has been rebranded to the "Gold" product family.
