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.

    Update:   This offer is no longer available.  Check our Hot Deals for the latest offers. 

    Many readers have asked if the $200 statement credit on the Citi American Airlines Executive 100,000 mile offer applies only if you buy something directly from American Airlines.  That’s because certain previous offers from Citi gave you a statement credit only if you made a purchase from American Airlines.

    However, you will get the the $200 statement credit for ANY purchase with the Citi Executive card.  The purchase doesn’t have to be with American Airlines!

    I Applied for the Citi Executive 100,000 Mile Offer in January and Got $200 in Statement Credits

    The Citi Executive AAdvantage WorldElite Mastercard

    Here’s my post about the Citi American Airlines Executive card and information on how to apply.

    Some folks might be uncomfortable with spending $10,000 in the 1st 3 months to get the bonus on the card. But read my post on 40+ ways to complete minimum spending requirements and decide what’s right for you.

    Emily and I don’t earn a commission on the card, but we’ll always tell you about the best offers, even when we don’t earn a commission.

    $200 Statement Credit for ANY Purchase

    The fine print on the offer doesn’t specify what kinds of purchases qualify for the $200 statement credit.  So that’s a good indicator that any purchase (excluding the annual fee etc.) should count.

    I applied for the Citi Executive card in January, and got the  $200 credit on my statement after spending over $200 on regular purchases.

    My $200 Credit Posted for Regular Purchases!

    Many folks on this Flyertalk thread also report receiving the $200 credit for regular purchases.

    So you can get the $200 statement credit for any purchase!

    This Is Really a $250 Annual Fee Card

    The annual fee on this card is $450, which is expensive!

    But because you get the $200 credit for regular spending, the true cost of the card is $450 Annual Fee – $200 Statement Credit = $250.

    So for $250, you’re getting 100,000 American Airlines miles, which can be used for:

    Here’s a link to my series on how to use American Airlines miles.

    You also get Admirals Club lounge access (~$500) and additional perks like early boarding, free 1st checked bag, and priority security screening.

    This is a very good deal for $250!

    Bottom Line

    You’ll get 100,000 American Airlines miles, a $200 statement credit, lounge access, and other perks with the Citi American Airlines Executive card.

    The annual fee for the card is $450.  But, because you get the $200 statement credit for any spending, the true cost of the card is $250.

    Admirals Club membership alone costs $500.  And 100,000 American Airlines miles will get you to a lot of places!
