Do Citigold clients get the $145 credit if they also get a $145 credit for the Strata Elite?
This is good for lounges and partner awards, but in the meantime I would still be avoiding flying AA at all costs.
Already have one, and it's paid off well. Flying AA as an Exec Platinum thanks to this card is a better experience, and I'm flying out of an AA hub, so lounge access is essential.
Agreed, and those AA employees at the lounges are an absolute godsend when it comes to IRROPS
This makes me wonder what is the direction of the rate of approved applications. I would think most AA elites have the card save for people that travel mostly for work and are required to use a corporate card. The real incentive to apply would have to be the bonus miles that have gone from 75K to 125K. Lounge membership might be nice but if one flys only 4-6 times a year it's not worth the annual fee.
You're actually onto something with Citi 'approvals,' because I've witnessed issues on these AA cards, where like all good for me, then P2 gets screwed. Like, is there an unwritten one-per-household rule?
I'm glad that the $250 AAVacations credit has not real restrictions. No minimum stay or minimum spend. Great for short overnight stays during a layover. I usually stay at cheap places like a Hampton Inn that have free parking, so having a car rental is nice. Since I plan on using it for these types of trips, reducing the Annual Fee by $500 definitely makes the fee increase more palatable. Not sure if my local Admiral's Club lounge (HNL) has premium drinks I can purchase, but will find out next month! Therefore, if I can get AA lounge access + AS lounge access since I usualyl fly AS/HA, $100/year is a great deal!
Continue to get outsized value out of this card with AA Hotels and AA Cars. Not sure if I will use AA Vacations but may experiment with it during this exciting MaximizeMiles period through 9/30.
