Citi AA Card – 3x Miles On Everyday Purchases

This morning I got a nice surprise email from Citibank / AA offering 3x AA Miles on Everyday Purchases through 6/30/13 on my Citi AA Personal Card. (No offer was sent for the AA Business Card)

Apparently the definition of Everyday Purchases is fairly broad and includes Groceries, Gas, Restaurants, Drugstores, and Commuter Expenses!

Unfortunately in the fine print, there is a cap on how many Bonus Miles you can earn, “AAdvantage® miles earned with this offer are subject to a maximum of 2,500 AAdvantage® bonus miles”.

I am assuming that 2,500 Bonus Miles means that you only get credit on the first $1,250 you spend (2x Bonus), but i could be wrong. 

Using that logic, if you were to go to CVS and buy $1,500 in Vanilla Reload Cards on your Citi AA Card, you should earn the following:

• 1,500 AA Miles in Regular Spend

• 2,500 AA Miles in Bonus Miles

So by paying $11.85 ($3.95 each) in Vanilla Reload Card fees, you should get 4,000 AA Miles!

Although the cap on the Bonus Miles makes the offer very limiting, for $11.85, I will gladly take 4,000 AA Miles!

If you were to buy 4,000 AA Miles from AA directly, it would cost you $118.00. I honestly can’t even make these prices up…

So be sure to check your Email and Spam folder to see if you got this offer because it is a great deal!

You do have to Enroll in the offer to be eligible to earn the Bonus Miles!
