I'm one of those who flip Citi AAdvantage cards a couple times a year (my wife does the same). We usually get 25K AA miles. I recently got an email offer for the same deal ($750 purchases in 4 months, no annual fee first year) except now it's 30,000 miles. Clicked the link and got instantly approved with a hefty CL. I do not know if this is a targeted offer or open to all.
Available cards are MC Platinum, AMEX, and MC Business.
Really tight credit market these days, huh? I still don't understand how or why they do this -- it's even easier than the old game of buying I-bonds or Charter One gift cards, LOL.

The 30k AA Miles may be a targeted portion, because I see on CitiCards.com that the standard offer is still 25k. Maybe they haven't updated their website yet, who knows.
Not sure how "easy" this credit is...I just applied, but no instant approval. We report back about acceptance. They provided me a number to call if I want instant approval- I'm in no hurry, so I'll wait for the E-mail.
If I got the 25,000 already, they will only give you the difference between the 30,000 and 25,000 which is 5,000 miles. Am I right? ... or will they give you another 30,000 miles if you have already got the 25,000 miles previously?

No. You get one of these credit cards, charge the $750 to collect your miles, then cancel it. Wait a bit, then apply for a new card and start over, getting another 25k or 30k miles. Citi is very aware that a lot of us do this, but they don't seem to mind.
Just be careful. They sent me an offer of 30K miles after 1k purchase and I applied for the card presuming that the annual fee. Well that was not the case and I had to make 2 calls to get i tout of my account. Not a big deal, but make sure that you may have to deal with it.
I just got this offer last week, applied for all 3 and got shot down on the biz card due to "previous late payments" by my biz.....and didn't get the personal cards due to an application suposedly being submitted in the last 90 days. Both of these are untrue, I've never had a late payment on a biz card ever, and I have not applied for a Citi AA card ( or any other citi card) in about a year.
Has anyone had luck calling them to try to get them to reconsider?????
I've found so many threads on AOR for credit cards offering 0% interest and no BT fees. I have yet to find any about doing an AOR for airline miles. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

IAskStupidQuestions said:Since they got rid of the reduced mileage awards for international flights, the card is not worth it anymore.I guess that depends. Right now I'm looking at NY-->Lima-->Denver for next June for 30K miles total. The cash price for a ticket is around $800-900.
I just received this offer in my email, citing my holdership of a CitiBusiness card (which I don't use, got in 8/07 for BT arbitrage, a couple purchases for a bonus. Ironically I've been cancelling cards the last couple of weeks as I dislike having so many for no good reasons....but now am debating applying for this AA.
There are 3 different non-targeted 30K offers - Biz, AMEX and World MC - available here. Apply by 11/30; spend $750 in 1st 4 months. DW and I were both just approved for the AMEX version with FAKOs around 750, FWIW.
