We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    There’s a terrific new offer for the Citi® / AAdvantage® Executive World Elite™ Mastercard®!

    You’ll now earn 75,000 American Airlines miles after spending $7,500 in purchases within the first 3 months of account opening.  That’s much better than the most recent offer for 50,000 American Airlines miles after spending $5,000 on purchases in the first 3 months.

    While this isn’t the highest-ever offer on the card, it’s a good deal if you collect American Airlines miles or fly through airports with Admirals Club lounges frequently.

    Emily and I don’t earn anything from this offer, but we’ll always tell you about the newest and best deals!

    With the Citi AAdvantage Executive Card, You’ll Earn 75,000 American Airlines Miles After Meeting Minimum Spending Requirements. And Get Free Admirals Club Lounge Access!

    I’ll remind you of what comes with the card and if you should consider this offer.

    Citi Executive 75,000 Mile Offer

    Link:   Citi® / AAdvantage® Executive World Elite™ Mastercard®

    When you spend $7,500 on purchases in the first 3 months of opening a Citi AAdvantage Executive card, you’ll earn 75,000 American Airlines miles.

    The $450 annual fee is NOT waived the first year.  But you’ll get excellent perks with the card, including:

    Get the First Checked Bag Free for Yourself and Up to 8 Companions Traveling on the Same Domestic Itinerary When You Have the Citi Executive Card

    The $450 annual fee isn’t cheap.  But if you (and your authorized users) will visit Admirals Club lounges often, or if you make use of the Global Entry or TSA PreCheck application fee credit, you can offset the fee.

    Plus, folks who are missing Admirals Club lounge access with the recent changes to the Citi Prestige card might consider the Citi AAdvantage Executive card if they travel frequently.

    Note:   Citi will NOT let you to earn the sign-up bonus from more than one personal card of the same “brand” within 24 months.  For example, if you’ve opened or closed the Citi® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® World Elite™ Mastercard® in the past 24 months, you would NOT be eligible for the Citi AAdvantage Executive sign-up bonus.

    However, there’s an exception if you’ve had the CitiBusiness® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® World Mastercard® in the past 24 months.  You can CAN earn the sign-up bonus on the personal card, because Citi says:

    The information for the Citi AAdvantage Platinum and CitiBusiness AAdvantage Platinum card has been collected independently by Million Mile Secrets. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.

    Bottom Line

    There’s a better offer for the Citi® / AAdvantage® Executive World Elite™ Mastercard®.  You’ll now earn 75,000 American Airlines miles after spending $7,500 on purchases in the first 3 months of opening your account.

    The $450 annual fee is NOT waived.  But you’ll get perks like Admirals Club lounge access for yourself and immediate family or up to 2 guests.  And your authorized users (free to add) can enter Admirals Club lounges on their own when they show their card.
