Citi AA card discussion from 2019 - 2020 is HERE. That thread has an extensive Wikipost, but be aware that much of the content is obsolete.
Current Citibank Business AA card Sign Up Bonus eligibility:
"American Airlines AAdvantage® bonus miles are not available if you have received a new account bonus for a CitiBusiness® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® account in the past 48 months."
Current Citibank Personal AA card Sign Up Bonus eligibility:
"American Airlines AAdvantage® bonus miles are not available if you have received a new account bonus for a Citi® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® account in the past 48 months."
Business and Personal cards are separated in terms of the SUB exclusions, and the restriction is based upon when you received the bonus.

Of course, this deal comes out 2 months after I get the card and only get 50K bonus... 
Has anyone else noticed this: I login to my Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select card, and I will get a notification about how to earn 50K miles for opening up a Citi Checking account... click here to learn more. Then when I click, it is about opening a checking account with no mention of miles in its terms and conditions.
Last week I got a notice about various bonus miles offers for a new CITI savings account depending on average daily balance, plus a 25% bonus on monthly AA miles earned from the credit card spend. But today it is not there?
Is this like whack-a-mole?

I currently have the Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select card and it's been more than 48 months since receiving the welcome bonus. I'm intrigued by this new limited time 75k offer. Any insights on how quickly you can reapply if you cancel your current card? Is that a factor at all, or only the time since previous bonus receipt?

Two separate calendars. However, some customer service agents are confused by the slash in the business product name "CitiBusiness® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select®", and they may tell you that any AAdvantage Platinum card disqualifies the bonus. It makes no difference what they tell you, it's all automated.

You should receive a letter through USPS which confirms the bonus on a personal card. If not, ask customer service to "remind" you of the terms of your offer: required spend, deadline, and number of miles. Do NOT prompt them by asking, "Is it 75,000 miles?" Make them look up all of the details.

Citi just sent me an e-mail, earn $500 back ($100pp) for referring friends to any AAdvantage Citi Card. I was already going to sign up for the 75k mile bonus, but now I'm trying to find a way to sign up by having my wife refer me from one of her cards.
I think this promo is new, but wondering if anyone's tested that approach. She DID NOT receive the e-mail, and I haven't found the Enroll link when logging into her Citi account.
Anyone tried this (referring from spouse)? I'm already an authorized user on her card. Also, any help finding that enrollment link on another account?

Email the personalized link below so your friends can apply to start earning miles. You will earn a $100 statement credit for each friend who is approved — up to $500 per calendar year.*

Your statement credit will post to your account within 8 – 10 weeks of each approval in $100 increments.
You are limited to a maximum of 5 awards per calendar year (January 1 – December 31). Maximum bonus statement credit accumulation for this offer is $500 per calendar year. You cannot earn a referral award for those who currently have the Card you recommended. This program intends for you to invite friends, family and known acquaintances to take advantage of the Card Offer of the Refer a Friend program.

Stupid question. Applied for Citi AA personal card. 100% sure I entered my existing AA number. You guessed it, Citi created a new account. While I wait to receive the card, already accessed the newly created account and merged it with my existing account. Can I call Citi when I receive the card and just ask them to change the AA account to my existing one? Or is this going to be an ordeal, being Citi and all? Thanks!
