I applied and was approved for Gold card with 25k / $750 spend offer just before 8/28. Yesterday I messaged them to explain that I received a 40k offer in the mail and would like to be matched. They confirmed the additional 15k miles would be deposited within 2 billing cycles. Still haven’t spent anything on the card.

Does anyone have a copy of the targeted offer they wouldn’t mind sharing? I tried getting matched to the 50k, but they’re asking for a copy of it… Did the people who got successfully matched actually get targeted for this?

Are you guys requesting match before or after meeting spend?

I opened both a Gold card with 25k/$700 bonus and a Platinum card with 50k/$3000 bonus. I asked for the match for each over secure message. Citi gave me 10k courtesy points on the Gold, but said they do cannot match offers. For the Platinum, they noticed I was receiving the courtesy points for the Gold already, and they declined to give me any additional bonuses.

I tried to get matched. They’re insisting I either mail in or email them the offer that I found. See conversation below

Thanks! Matched to 50k via SM

Congrats!

What did you say to them? And also, did the spend requirement change or kept at $750? Did you already meet the spend and they credited the extra miles right away?

Thanks!

Very interesting discussion. Just wondering why Citi would put the new language on the Gold app page, but then not enforce it until 8/28. Has there been more recent confirmation that this is still true?

Nobody knows. Citi is a strange beast.

I may have to try the 50K mile offer via SM. Anyone have any success matching to the 50K mile offer?

Hi William:
I received a mailer for the Platinum Select AA card for 50,000 miles sign up bonus. I closed the Platinum Select AA card account in April.
The term says it is only valid for new accounts. Then below that it says “if you are existing Citi/Aadvantage cardmember, you are not eligible for this offer on your existing account,”
So do I get the bonus if I apply?

I got a mailer with “Citi® / AAdvantage® Gold World EliteTM Mastercard®
Earn 55,000 American Airlines AAdvantage® bonus miles after spending $4,000 in purchases within the first 4 months of opening your account, plus earn 10,000 American Airlines AAdvantage® bonus miles after spending a total of $6,000 in purchases within the first 12 months of opening your account”
However, I don’t understand what this means “if you are existing Citi/Aadvantage cardmember, you are not eligible for this offer on your existing account”
I got the Citi AAdvantage Platinum select card 3 months ago
 William Charles Do you think I should be okay since they are different cards?

Same issue here, still wondering whether I should apply for the gold card or not. Since it’s already 4 months past, do you have any new info. to share? Thanks a lot!

What are the benefits to this card? No Admiral Club access. It has 3%FTF. AF is $50 (not $95 like other AA cards).
