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

"For mileage reactivations, you can:
Reactivate miles within 24 months of their expiration
Only make 1 transaction to reactivate your miles.
Any expired miles from this same expiration time frame that aren't reactivated will be forfeited
Reactivate a maximum of 500,000 miles"
Not sure if this statement on fee is old or current. But you can log on to your acct and do a reactive miles and see if the fees listed below is current or not.
"The price to reactivate miles is $50 for every 5,000 miles, plus a $30 processing fee per transaction, per account. (For example, you can reactivate 24,500 miles from one account for a cost of $280. That's a $250 mileage reactivation fee and a $30 transaction fee. Or you can reactivate just 5,000 AAdvantage miles for $80. That's a $50 mileage reactivation fee and a $30 transaction fee.) Please allow 72 hours for reactivated miles to post to your account."

"As the primary cardmember, be sure to include your AAdvantage® number and use your Citi® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® card when you book domestic itineraries for you and your travel companions on the same reservation on American Airlines flights."
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.
Except there is a no fee version of the card you can downgrade to after a year. Only gets half a mile per dollar spent though, but helps extend your credit history and put a couple bucks on it a year and it'll re-extend your mileage expiration date. https://creditcards.aa.
to answer your other 2 questions, no and no.
I already have a choice hotels and priceline (from previous promos) so unsure if I can get this.
I have 3 currently, not sure of a limit.
