AA Platinum MC, open 13 months with minimal spend after initial bonus - no offers aside from downgrade or PC
Canceled for a refund of the annual fee

AA Platinum MC, opened 09/09/17 with sign up bonus of 40k AA miles for $1k spend. Called today 2/14 to cancel, only 2 offers:

#1 . Spend 1k per month for next 9 months, receive additional 1k points each month (9k AA miles total offer for 9k spend)

#2 . Spend $150 in eligible purchases during next 3 months, receive 2 admiral passes (passes arrive 6-8 weeks after meeting requirement, usually good for 6 months).

Kept card open, did not pick an offer (wanted "mull it over" before choosing. Hoping for better offer on next call).

My annual fee for my AA Platinum MC posted on February 2nd. How long do I have to cancel in order to receive my a refund of the annual fee?

Look on your paper/pdf statement for this paragraph:


Membership Fee. Some accounts are charged a membership fee. To avoid paying
this fee, notify us that you are closing your account within 30 days of the mailing
or delivery date of the statement on which the fee is billed

Prestige offer:

1. $50 statement credit per billing cycle when spending over $1500 for the next 7 billing cycles
2. 1 extra TY point per dollar on travel purchases up to $10k purchases
3. 10k TY points after $3k spend within 6 months

I think you have two cards confused.

The Cit AT&T Access card has no AF and earns 2x on certain online purchases.

The Citi AT&T Access More card does have an AF of $95 and earns 3x on same.

2/19/18- Citi Executive- Offered $250 credit for 3K of spending in each of the next 3 months. Accepted. I like this card for the EQMs.

2/19/18- Prestige offer, starting third year with card, had 31k spend last year:
1. $200 credit- spend $4,000 a month for 3 months. 1.67 cents per dollar spent
2. $50 credit per billing cycle when at least $1,500 is spent, for next 7 billing cycles (up to $350 back). 3.33 cents per dollar spent
3. 10,000 TYP for $3,000 in purchases, don't remember time frame (I think 6 months). 3.33 TYP per dollar spent

Chose option 2. Last year I picked option 1 (other options were not the same, and it worked) but 12k spend in 3 months can be a challenge. Options 2 and 3 have a similar return (if you consider TYP worth more than a penny option 3 has best return) but I like the flexibility of 2 along with opportunity for greater return ($350 is much better than 10,000 TYP).

2/10/18 - Prestige Offer with around 4k spend last year

Given $50 credit per billing cycle when at least $1,500 is spent, for next 7 billing cycles (up to $350 back) including Current Billing Cycle

I took this option since i have some good spending coming up.

For Others who took up the 50$ Credit Per billing cycle, have a question, when does the $50 Credit applies to the Account? My Statement ended on 02/14/18 and had over 1500 in Purchases, i dont see the Credit Applied.

Interesting...I just called in and they didn't offer me any credits this time. Normally get the above offer, although I've done so for 2 straight years. If you don't use the EQMs, and you get lounge access through other means...what's the value of the card? I have a Citi Presitge, CSP Reserve and Amex Platinum....seems like the Citi Executive card is weakest of the 4.

Although I haven't needed the EQM's, I dont want to give up the card, just in case. That is the biggest reason I keep this card,

Just in case what? The EQMs? If you haven't ever used the EQMs, what are the odds you will need them in the future?

Seems to me the cost/benefit ratio is way out of whack, especially past the first year. Besides which, won't Citi give you another one at any point, just without a signup bonus? And there is no bonus that I know of when renewing the card. Unless you spend huge amounts on AA tickets, where the 2 miles per $ would eventually add up, or would otherwise pay for an Admirals Club membership, I don't see the point. A simple AA plat card will get you free bags and preferred boarding for far less cost.
