Does anyone know whether the companion ticket benefit when spending more than $30k in a year on the Silver Aviator must be booked at AA.com, or can it be booked with my corporate travel agent?
I assume it is also restricted to continental US except for residents of Hawaii, or Alaska, true?
Finally, anyone know if the companion ticket is upgradeable?

Had the Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select MC back in the fall/winter of 2014 and cancelled in May 2015. Actually may have downgraded to the Bronze AAdvantage no-fee card.
Now they're offering me the card again, 50k miles for $3000 in purchases.
I've never flown on AA or oW and don't anticipate doing so any time soon. I guess I could just keep getting miles from these offers until I had enough to redeem. I got a business class award to Sydney in November coming.
Anyone have problems not getting the miles for being a recent holder of this card?
Does anyone know which credit bureaus they pull?

The following thread:
is the one where people report about getting miles from targeted offers. The thread you're in right now is mostly about comparing the different cards.
Which bureau they pull varies. It may vary by state, in some cases it may vary within a state, and sometimes in a given location it may vary depending on time of month (as if they have a deal to do "N" pulls for cheap with one bureau each month, then when they use that up they use another bureau for the rest of the month).
The best predictor might be which bureau they pulled the last time you applied (assuming you haven't moved far since then). Pulls stay on your report for 2 years, so the pull from fall/winter 2014 should still be on whichever of your reports it was pulled from.

Hello everyone. I've tried searching for this but haven't found an answer. Does anyone know if I have both Citi Exec MC and Barclay Silver and I meet the EQM bonus spends on both cards, can I collect 20k EQMs?

Yes. The number of EQMs you can earn in a calendar year is capped at 10,000 EQMs per issuing bank. Thus, if you have both eligible cards, you can earn 20,000 EQMs per calendar year if you meet the spend threshold on both cards.
