I say "sort of" because there are still legacy Citi AA Visas/Ameces still out there in the hands of cardholders. Many but not all Visas have been converted to MCs.

So I have been checking the citi pre-qualified page for the past week and no AA offer was there. Today marked my 65th day since my last 2 apps, and the 30k AA Plat offer just popped up. I think that is a really good indication of whether or not this World->WE loophole works. I feel confident I could apply today again(for card #3) with a link above and get another 50k. Might try the other link posted without the 18mo language, but might just do link 4c like last time just for the datapoint.

Opened my "some of your benefits are changing" letter for the biz card, and saw this:
"Your 5% AAdvantage Mileage Bonus benefit is being discontinued."
Can someone remind me what that benefit is? It is no longer showing on the official pages, at least I don't see it.

The Executive card "feels" very different because it has different benefits (such as lounge access), no waived AF, a very high AF, etc.
But once you factor out that "feel" aspect, the Gold, Platinum, and Executive cards are just all different personal Citi AA card products.
The Executive card has its own thread because of that very different "feel".
But from the standpoint of churning rules, the Executive card is not all the different than any other Citi AA personal cards, while the churning rules for Citi AA business cards are very different and less well understood (beyond "YMMV").

15 days from application/approval to receiving the card. I'm normally 5-6 days, so it looks like they're somewhere between a week and 10 days behind.

Citi Platinum & Gold AA cards bonuses + benefits.
For those seeing the tracker for spend to bonus on their citi homepage - how long after activating my card should I see the information available?
I have bonus confirmed in a letter, but no tracker showing up.

My wife appears to be one of the lucky ones that can open multiple Business cards.
4/16/15 - CitiBus Plat - 50k bonus
7/13/15 - Closed 4/16 card
9/30/15 - CitiBus Plat - 50k bonus - used self tested link aadvantagecards7.citicards.com
Had to call in, but they approved her after 3 waits of 2-3 minutes and confirmed the 50k/$3k.

PS: I've edited the wiki to include aadvantagecards7.citicards.com (and aadvantagecards6.citicards.com for good measure; there seems to be a predictable series in the links to which these forward).

!To find the tracker clock: You have go to Account Details for that card, and then on that page you'll see a "My Miles Summary" link next to something probably telling you that you've earned 0 miles so far. Click that "My Miles Summary" link, then scroll down to find the tracker clock. Obviously, if you didn't know the clock was there, there'd no reason to want to click on "My Miles Summary" when just to the left it it's telling you your total miles earned are 0. (Who would need a "summary" of that?
)Btw, on the clock, the number of days is continually updated, but the "$xxxx to go" is only updated once per statement (ie, it doesn't factor in current purchases not yet posted to a statement).

Good to hear that business card churning is not dead yet.

Immediately after activation for me. However, it's not on any page you normally would look at !
