Put these two cards together, and spend just $2,500 on the other (the Citi Platinum Select World Elite card) in the first three months. Bam: You've got 110,000 American Airlines miles. All without paying an annual fee in your first year.
That's an easier (and cheaper) path to pile up more than 100,000 miles than you'll find with almost any other airline. Of course, it requires opening two credit cards and responsibly meeting the minimum spending requirement

I got 200k and can't even get a one way biz class ticket
I agree I had to spend 160k points and purchase an additional $600 in points to fly 4 people from CT to California. The value just isn't there.
Do you have a link?

Absolutely worth the points for that level of comfort and amenities.
If you do your research, there are some great points transfer/conversion deals on AA partner airlines depending on how far out you book and time of year.
That said, I see that both Citi and Barclays are offering AA miles bonuses for their regular and business credit cards.
For those who went for the full set of 4, how far between applications did you submit regular and business for each of the cards?
Or did you do it all in one fell swoop, so that all the pulls occur on the same day and perhaps just count as 1 or 2 instead of 4?
I agree domestic first class I have won many times with points last minute helps too then point saver kicks in
I already have a choice hotels and priceline (from previous promos) so unsure if I can get this.
