The weekly/monthly chart on AA.com is unfortunately wrong. The chart in the wiki of this thread is right. Dec. 2 looks to be a "Tier 2"...

Sorry about downgrades. I know it's going to be a tougher travel year for a whole lot of us. The good news, though, is that with AA's soft landing policy, even were you not to fly a single mile...

The quote you mention is dead wrong. Citi would be thrilled if everyone decided to "get back" at them by massively using their cards in a responsible way.

Get the Starwood Preferred Guest American Express card. Cheaper annual fee (just $45), more miles (trade 20,000 SPG points for 25,000 AAdvantage miles), and isn't issued by Citi.
