Simply just needed to stress I’m just happy I happened onto your website!.

[…] Shawn @ FrequentMiler states that you need to currently hold an AAdvantage Platinum MasterCard to be eligible for this offer. The T&C shows it’s available to Citi AAdvantage credit cardmembers, so there’s no harm in applying with any Citi AAdvantage card in case it works. […]

I meant $1000 not $100

Joe

Does using your citi debit card to directly load $100 to serve count as a purchase?

Hi Shawn,

Do you think it’s ok to make the $1000 debit purchase requirement via gift cards? Or do you think this needs to be actual merchandise purchases to qualify?

Thanks and Happy Holidays

I bought a $1000 money order…hopefully that works. Waiting for the miles to post.

Do you have to be targeted or can you just use the code?

Juan

I applied and got approved now i have to spend the 1000, under their terms and conditions i states cash back do not qualify as Citibank Debit Card purchases. if i go to Walmart and make a purchase of 50 and ask for 150 on cash back can the bank tell if i asked for cash back during my purchase?

I signed up online and was approved right away (Maryland). I filled out the credit card funding form but forgot to fax it in right away. I was reminded when I received the kit in the mail with both checks and the debit card. Didn’t even need to make the initial deposit to get both immediately.

I faxed in the credit card form and funded with 10K from my Citi AAdvantage card. No one called from the Citi banking side or the Citi Credit Card side and the charge went through. It was also coded as a purchase so I will hopefully have another 10K miles added to my account from that!

David

Hey, how did this pan out? Did the 10k count as a purchase on your citi aa card or cash advance? Thanks!

Fine print states that your AAdvantage credit card must be open and in good standing at the time the 50k miles are to be deposited. Just be aware…

David

If I already have a Citi checking account (though not a Citigold account) am I still eligible?

Dan

I applied under the AA. As an FYI to everyone they sent the kit which was only the checks. So I called the 800# after 2 weeks and they said I had to request the debit card but could only send me the ATM version now. They said the account had to be open for 30 days before I got the debit card. Has anyone else had this experience?

Nunya

I got my debit card about a week after opening the Citigold account, and I didn’t have to call in. They just sent it automatically.

If I currently have a Citi Checking account, do I have to close it first to get this offer? If I do have to close it, how long do I have to close it before applying for this offer?

I was looking to apply for citi exec with the 75k aa offer, then apply for a new CG account and fund it that way for the minimum spend. any data points if the promo for the CG will work even though its not a aa platnium?
