The Offer
- Citi / AAdvantage Platinum Select World Elite MasterCard is offering 50,000 miles after $3,000 in spend within the first three months.
Card Details
- Annual fee of $95 is waived the first year
- Does not contain 24 month language
Our Verdict
This exact offer and link were available last month, then died, and it’s now back.
This offer does not contain the 24 month language that would exclude you from getting the bonus if you’ve had any other Citi American Airlines card within the last 24 months. Before applying read these things you should know about Citibank.
Please don’t draw unnecessary attention to this offer by calling in and asking if you will be eligible for the bonus or not. All that does is alert Citi that you aren’t eligible under the normal and make it less likely you’ll get the bonus. It’s also possible to get matched to the 60,000 offer as well.
There’s also a similar 50k bonus on the AA business version of the card. Just keep in mind that you can’t apply for more than one or two Citi cards total within 60 days (including all Citi cards, not just AA cards) so that will be an impediment for many people.
We’ll add this to our list of Best Credit Card Signup Bonuses for February.
Hat tip to r/churning for letting us know
After reading this article, I was able to send a SM and got matched to the 60K miles bonus offer.
I got this card about a month back and I had already spent close to $3600 (thanks to Regions bank, was able to fund 2K with my Citi AA by opening checking & savings account). I just had a statement generated and also got the 50K miles credited. Was not sure how I was going to spend another $1400 to get the 10K bonus. But this article saved me of the hassle.
A big thanks to DOC and everyone here for sharing their experience and thoughts!!!
I was approved for this on December 28th 2016, met spend in February. 50,000 bonus miles posted on March 15th proving that the 24-month restrictive language not being there does allow you to get the bonus again even if it’s been only six months since your last bonus posted, for example..
Thanks, Doc; you rock!
Make sure you send a SM asking for a match to the 60k offer.
Oh yeah; thanks Ken!
I acted a bit late. Today it shows, “A system error has caused a delay in processing your application.” Any update ? Thanks !
Yes, offer is no longer available.
“A system error has caused a delay in processing your application.”
I got my approval letter today, bonus language *IS* there.
Hopefully it shows up again soon 🙂
applied, was approved. Got approval letter in the mail AFTER activating the card. The approval letter has NO MENTION of the bonus.
Am I not going to get it? (yes, I had this card cxled less than 24 months ago) Can anyone confirm they had the same situation, YET still got the bonus. Afraid to call since the CSR are ridiculous.
“A system error has caused a delay in processing your application.”
Ack! I applied again last night for my husband – it was up and looked active, but when I hit submit, it said “a system error has caused a delay in processing your application.” So maybe it’s because it’s dead… sigh.
My application went through on Friday night and I did not get approved instantly, so the system gave me a reference ID. But now I checked my application status and I got the same message when I clicked application link in this post. I called the reconsideration line on Saturday and he could not push the system through for a decision. I did not see a hard pull from Citi yet, so maybe the application did not go through at all. Sigh.
Update: Today Citi just called me regarding the application that I applied on the night of March 3 before it went dead. I could not check the status since March 4 because I kept getting the message “There is a system error that delay processing” or something like that and I did not see any credit pull on that day. So I let it go until they called me today and approved it! I hope I will get the bonus.
It expired again!
Here is the money question:
Since the rules are no more then 1 Citi Personal card every 8 days and 2 Citi personal cards every 65 days, does that mean since i applied with this non 24 links, 12/27, 1/6 and 3/2 (and was approved) can i go for round 4 at 3/12??? 🙈🤣🙈
