How can you tell if you are beyond the 48 month period for AA bonus? If they sent an invitation with a code in the mail does that mean I will get the bonus?

please consider updating the 24 month language to say 48 month:

American Airlines AAdvantage® bonus miles can be earned by new Citi® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® card cardmembers approved through this offer. American Airlines AAdvantage® bonus miles are not available if you have received a new account bonus for a Citi® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® account in the past 48 months.
