It also includes Barclays AAdvantage cards, and the May effective date refers to when the miles are posted to the AAdvantage account, which means some April spending will count for most people. Still, this is very different from the "old" days in which any mile posted counted for lifetime status.

For all eligible Citi® / AAdvantage® and AAdvantage® Aviator credit card products, as well as select AAdvantage® credit cards outside the U.S., every dollar spent on net purchases that post to your AAdvantage account between May 2020 and December 2020 will count as one mile toward Million MilerSM status.

I'm going to go with the safe route. Basically I won't pay for any large expenses like taxes until May 1st at the earliest. I'll probably test out my theory with something cheap like a dollar or two from April 26th or so and see where that will lead.

Now that AS officially joined OW, I have moved that listing to the OW section. Unless AS changes something, 1MM will give you Lifetime MVP Gold which is Oneworld Sapphire, and 2MM gets you Lifetime MVP Gold 75K (Oneworld Emerald)
