anyone knows if Citi limits bonus to first time AAdvanage card holders? I got on the similar deal last year and got 25K miles, wondering if I can do it again...

The link takes you to bridgetrack.com. Can you trust them?

It actually goes to "http://www.away6.citicards.com" first, then directs you to bridgetrack.com. As far as I know, "citicards.com" is a legit domain (for Citibank). And "bridgetrack.com" always seems to be related to most Citi applications. So I don't think we have to worry about that.

To this effect, anyone think you can go for all three? That would be a sweet 75k mile day...

They're miles... they are used to get free airline tickets. It is possible to use Points.com to exchange them for gift cards though.
If you are in need of less than 25,000 miles, and do not want to mess with charging $750 to the card, then the 15,000 miles promo is still valid and only requires one purchase with no minimum. Link

Thanks OP. Instantly approved.
Update: Applied for the AMEX version too (got too greedy I guess). Did not get an instant approval. But today I checked the status and was approved. Thanks again OP for the (hopefully) 50000 points.

I have the same question. I currently have the AA Citibank MasterCard, and charge over $750 on that card a month. If I could apply for a different card also (like the AA American Express), I'll switch my charging to that one until I get the 25K miles, then cancel.
With the old deal you get 10000 bonus miles on top of the 30000 miles earned after spending $10,000. If you charge a lot thene the old deal is better. If you don't charge much then this is better.
and to those asking, I've been able to get multiple mile bonuses with different cards before...

Apply it and right before 1yr anniversary is approaching, convert it to other no-annual-fee cards. The conversion is easy -- it spends you at most 5 minutes with the CSR.

Thanks. Is the points.com safe ? It's asking all card number information !!

bula said: real shame that AA miles are devalued as much as they are. There was a day when the actually got you decent flights.
what do you mean? are there no longer flights for 25, 40 and 60 thousand miles?Yes you can still get tickets for 25,000. He's saying that it used to be easier to find available flights.
And by the way, if they give 25,000 to everyone, of course miles will eventually be devalued.

we just burned 80,000 AA miles for 2 roundtrips to Rome during Spring Break. That's at least 2 cents each and possibly more. That makes this card offer worth $500, and possibly more. How much more decent are you looking for?

That's right -- no deal here. Keep moving everyone. Nothing to see here.

I'm fairly certain that these count toward MM status as well. Just churn 40 and you're there.
Confirmed. All miles of any kind count toward MM status on AA. However, only certain flown miles will count toward yearly qualifications for AA Gold, Platinum, or Executive Platinum.

The increased bonus is nice. Really not liking the increase from $250 to $750 spending requirement, however. That's really difficult for me to reach in 4 months. I'll probably still use this application over the $250 relic page and take the challenge. 5k miles is not bad for $500 in extra spending.

I usually pre-pay my car insurance when I need a large change like this. (My Safety Insurance agent in MA takes CCS).
after you make a purchase of $750. I mean end of that billing cycle...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've canceled my AAdvantage card less than 3 month ago, do you think Citi will just re-open the old account?
No, obviously not going to ask to re-open, was just wondering if they have some sort of automated system that would check if the same card has been closed within past 90 days.
I've had the AA gold card ($50 annual fee) for a few years. Last year when I called to close my account they offered me 2,000 miles which I took because it was just enough for me to get a ticket to South America. This year when I called to close my account they asked if I wanted miles or or the annual fee waived. I chose to have the $50 credited to my account.
