Citi AAdvantage Executive Card 70K Bonus Miles Offer

Do Citigold clients get the $145 credit if they also get a $145 credit for the Strata Elite?

@ Rob -- Yep, you can get the credit for multiple cards!

What an awful look for you to be responding to this comment before you address the rampant bigotry flooding the comment section in an earlier post from today.

In this site's ethics section, you write that, "It’s not in my best interest to separate myself from my brand." Today is a stark lesson in what this brand and you, its owner, care about.

@ Ben L. -- That has been dealt with as well, the two aren't mutually exclusive. I'm sorry for the delay. I was out with my son for soccer. It's easy to respond to one comment on my phone, but it's not so easy to delete a bunch of comments and moderate things on my phone, so I saved it for when I got back home.

Just got an ad in the mail for a United business credit card that has a 100,000 mile bonus for $5,000 spend, $150 annual fee. Will look into that later today when I go through the mail.

Maybe another UA / AA battle?

I appreciate the response here, and I also appreciate your removal of his worst comments on that thread.

That said, I still find your handling of this incident to be below the standards I'd hope to see at OMAAT. In brief:
-From personal experience, I can appreciate how moderation tools are limited when one isn't at their computer. I can also appreciate how a situation sometimes blows up while a moderator is away living some other part of their life for several hours. That said, I find the "at soccer" excuse to be a weak one. The bigoted comments were posted several hours before you posted your response to Rob above. You don't necessarily owe any of us an accounting of your time. Nevertheless, it is still a bad look for your first dip into the day's comment sections to be a response to a credit card feature question when another post is in full meltdown mode.
-It is not clear whether you have banned that poster or simply removed their offending comments from that post. If the latter, you have chosen to allow for the very real possibility that the same poster engages in the same bigotry on OMAAT. It would also be a tacit signal to other bigots that they can get away with a certain amount of bad behavior. If you *have* banned that poster, why not say so and signal to the community what the community standards of conduct are?

All told, this has been one of the most negatively polarizing experiences I've had on the site in a dozen years of reading. I'm not ready to cut bait yet. But when a Diamond commenter feels comfortable enough to spout incredibly vile hatred on the site and the response is slow and tepid...it's gonna take a while for me to rebuild my confidence that this is a community I want to be part of in the long-term. Hopefully both the incident and the response were one-offs and things will be better in the future.

As always, I appreciate you reading and engaging with the community. I'll make this my final comment on this post here so as not to further clog it, though of course I'd be happy to read any response you choose to post.

Take care.

@ Ben L. -- I hear you and I appreciate the feedback, and I agree I should've done better. To add some context...
-- I made it so that comments from that poster are moderated for some time, and require pre-approval before they post, to avoid more comments like this
-- Yes, the comments were posted a few hours earlier, and quite frankly, I hadn't seen them prior to that; when I'm writing, I tend to stay focused on that, and then I have other times where I go through all the comments, so that I'm not constantly bouncing around

But I will try to do a better job of preventing those things from being up as long as they are. All I can try to do is improve going forward...

Ben, you go to great lengths to answer questions on this article, however, the questions asked on your “7 credit cards” article remain unanswered …. Why are those ‘can of worms’ questions going unanswered?

Considering this card but the AF is quite steep given I have quite a few lounge passes etc for other airlines and even some for AA. The signup bonus is interesting though. In terms of the grubhub and lyft credits can they be paired with other credits? For example can I stack this $10 with the grubhub credit on my amex gold card? Do I need to use this card for the lyft/grubhub when redeeming the credit? Actually for the lyft credit do you have to make three rides EVERY month to get the $10 credit or just three initial rides in a year? 10k spend in three months is a bit steep given all the other spend opportunities I'd have to forego. I love earning miles but the more I think about it the more I think this card may be a pass since I'm not going to get a ton out of the Admirals Club membership which seems to be the primary selling point.
