It’s been a slower couple of months after a blazing Q1 for the AA Loyalty Games. But there’s a good opportunity now as Citi has a new merchant offer on Wine.com for 30% off $100 or more at Wine.com. This is more or less the standard offer that comes around with Amex as well. However, because it’s a Citi Merchant Offer, if you find it targeted on a Mastercard (like I did on my Citi Premier) it will stack with a concurrent Simply Miles offer for an additional 1400 AAdvantage miles/Loyalty Points.
The Deal
- Spend $100 at Wine.com and get $30 back with a targeted Citi Offer. Must activate offer before making purchase.
Direct link to offer (must log in to find out if targeted)
- Stack with Simply Miles offer for 1400 AAdvantage Points/Miles when spending $100. Must enroll card before making purchase.
Direct Link to Simply Miles (must log-in to see offer)
Terms and Conditions
- Both offers expire on June 30, 2022.
Quick Thoughts
Some may call it tunnel vision or just being the new guy, but I usually end up being the one to write about the new wine offers. There are quite a few of them out there (see: winning by wine-ing), but they usually are for subscription services with custom-bottled wines that can be somewhere on the spectrum from drinkable to mediocre to downright bad…and they require you to manage a cancellation.
The nice thing about this Wine.com Citi Offer is that you can use it to purchase anything that wine.com sells, which is just about everything wine-related. Thus, it’s much easier to gaurantee that you end up with something you like. Even if you don’t care for wine (gasp!), you can buy a $100 Wine.com eGift card to get $30 back which should it make it profitable by reselling the card.
If you order an eGift card, you’ll get an email with a redemption code, then they’ll send a physical gift card with that same number in the mail…but you don’t need the physical card in order to redeem or sell it.
As always, be sure to click through a shopping portal in case the gift card tracks – here are the current rates.

Just did this and used your spread sheet. Total was 101.48 and expected $30 off. It spit out 5.11 CPP. Isn’t that very high?
Sorry for asking simple question. Can you clarify when offers give loyalty points versus redeemable miles?
No worries! “Miles” refers to redeemable miles that actually be used for travel. Loyalty Points are what AA uses to calculate your elite status, but they are not redeemable for travel, they are only used to determine elite status.
SM has an offer for 700 miles for any purchase at Mercado. I ordered $10 worth of veggies. T&C says any purchase. My closest store has a $10 minimum. Have to pick it up because I’m not in their delivery area. Couldn’t find anything on Amex, Citi, BOA or AA portal to stack.
I get annoyed by CMO. It’s not as good as Amex and I feel like I am always fighting to get them honored. Anyone else have this issue?
It seems like they’re either really slow or often require follow-up (or both). But I feel like I have to keep way more of an eye on it than with either Amex or Chase.
I just did vinesse wines – 2000 AA portal stacked with simply miles for 700. Easy to get just over $50 to trigger the simply miles. No cash back but I thought it was a good deal for 8 bottles of wine.
That’s a good one! Did you like the wines?
Actually, I don’t drink. Hence the head shaking from my husband. But I do cook a lot and will use it for cooking. I’ll also use it as gifts.
