Any mention of the 10k miles at anniversary?

Just got the same mailer. It makes no mention of the 10K miles at anniversary.

But even the annual fee letter from Barclays doesn't mention the 10K annual bonus, yet it's still being awarded.

Any mention of the 5k discount? That would be a nice advantage over the Citi cards if kept.

Nope... :td:

Actually it does mention the 5k discount. It's on the first page of the mailer under the exclusive benefits heading.

"Enjoy award travel for 5,000 fewer miles - redeem for award travel on US Airways operated flights for 5,000 fewer miles at every award level"

Shame to see the 10keqm/25k going away in 2015. Was really hoping to juice my account between Barclay's and Citi Exec. <sigh> Back to the tried and true churn method.

i guess from kpoxa's experience we learn that previously having the card doesn't prevent the "not preferred" denial from happening. that's too bad :(

just wondering, for those with multiple US Airways cards, if you spend $25k on each can you get 10k EQMs multiple times?

But sometime in 2015, there may not be any US Airways operated flights left. So if it doesn't mention that this benefit will stay around and expand to AA operated flights, while it does mention the 10% rebate on awards, I have my doubts as to how long this 5k discount will last, since it seems to be the same sort of thing as the 10% rebate.

Also, does it mention the 10% rebate being capped at 10,000 miles per year? That's how it works with the Citi card. So unless it specifically says it's "uncapped", I'd expect that's how it would work whether it's stated yet or not.

What tried and true churn method? :confused:

From the Wikipost on the Citi Exec thread:
So no matter how many Citi Exec cards you get a year, you still can only get at most 10k EQM a year from them all.

If your a lower level elite.....churn miles towards non revenue tickets and bag status

So twice now, last week and in January, I submit an application but it never shows up at all. Never hear back. Nothing.

Is there any known issue with Safari in Private browsing?
This was going to be my first application after 4 months, now it will be my 4th in a week and my 7th in the last 4 months, 8th in the last 6 months.

My credit score is still in the Excellent range. Am Ex over nighted me my new card and included my FICO score in the info they set.

Huh? How do you churn miles into bag status?

Have you heard that AA has just stopped treating AAnyTime awards as "full-fare" in terms of bag allowance?

If you want 1 bag free, you should get and hold one Citi AA card, with nominal $95/fee but many people don't pay it "net" many/most years because of frequent retention offers. But it's the holding of the card, not the miles earned, that get you that bag free (and some other not-quite-elite-status perks). However, the same perks are available with lowest level elite status, so if you're already lowest level elite status, I'm not sure how you increase your bag allowance with credit cards (beyond the one 10k EQM boost a year).

If you want more bags free, you have to redeem for premium international cabin flights, whether you need them for any other purpose or not. If you were going to do that anyway, then what does the loss of the hoped-for extra 10k EQM matter? If you weren't going to that anyway, that's a lot of extra miles just to not pay a bag fee.

(Me, I have a simpler solution for bag fees: Carryon-only! Works everywhere except a few ultra-nickel-and-dime LCCs like Spirit and now Frontier.)

He means bag as in attain. "I've got that EP status in the bag."
