50K points - This card currently has a welcome offer bonus to earn 50,000 AAdvantage Miles after spending $2,500 within the three months of card membership. And the card's $99 annual fee is also waived for the first year of card membership.

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 have same question. Everything I've found states that after first purchase and full payment of annual fee then the miles will post at bill cycle closing.
Not sure if this is the same since the annual fee is waived. My guess is after bill cycle, but an official answer would be betterā¦
Shameful what people would do for referrals.

Will they take back the 60k points (if unused) when you close your card before paying the annual fee?
I guess there is no option to downgrade the account like the chase United Explorer - where you can downgrade to the Basic Gateway card without the annual fee.
