Earn an easy 50K American AAdvantage miles
The Citi® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® World Elite Mastercard® has a welcome bonus of 50,000 AAdvantage miles after spending $2,500 within the first three months. The card’s $99 annual fee is even waived for the first 12 months.
I value AAdvantage miles at 1.5 cents each, so to me this bonus is worth $750. That’s not bad, especially for a card with its annual fee waived for the first 12 months. That’s a great way to be able to “try” the card before you have to “buy” it, so to speak.
There are so many great uses for AAdvantage miles on partners, and 50,000 miles will get you on the way to a one-way business class ticket on partner airlines to Europe, Asia, the Middle East, etc.
As far as card eligibility goes, the bonus miles aren’t available to those who have received a new account bonus for this exact card in the past 48 months. Eligibility is unrelated to any other AAdvantage card, whether issued by Citi or Barclays.
