Is that specifically for you or does it look like it's open for others to apply? Thinking about applying for the card.

I had this card for a couple of years, and just recently upgraded to the executive card with admirals lounge access.

I can tell you that best bang for the buck on this card is when using to book hotels through https://www.aadvantagehotels.com/

I solely use that for hotel booking, foregoing any Hotel points through credit cards.

The average three night stay, if you book through the URL above may offer something like 300 AA Miles for a booking.

When you use this credit card, it jumps up to like 7500 miles vs 300.

I was in Scottsdale last week and stayed at a Hampton Inn for three nights. Payout was 10,000 miles.

This year alone, took my wife and kids to Universal Orlando and NYC, for free aside from the $11 processing fees.

That too requires some planning, but it was/is a great card for me.

so it essentially gives you ~10% back in points when booking through aadvantagehotels right?

how is the free checked bag redeemed, does the flight need to be booked with the card and/or though AA link?
terms very unclear:
Quote :
First checked bag free
For benefit to apply, the Citi® / AAdvantage® account must be open 7 days prior to air travel, and reservation must include the primary credit cardmember's American Airlines AAdvantage® number 7 days prior to air travel.
If you are checking in online for your flight to be eligible for first checked bag free on this trip, you must be a party to this reservation and apply and be approved for a Citi® / AAdvantage® credit card through the link on the checking bags page aa.com or mobile app during check-in. To access this link, you must have an active domestic flight reservation that departs within 24-hours or be eligible for check-in.
If your credit card account is closed for any reason, these benefits will be cancelled. Eligible Citi® / AAdvantage® primary credit cardmembers may check one bag free of charge when traveling on domestic itineraries marketed and operated by American Airlines, or on itineraries marketed by American Airlines and operated as American Eagle® flights by Envoy Air Inc., Republic Airways Inc., SkyWest Airlines, Inc., Air Wisconsin Airlines, PSA Airlines, Inc., or Piedmont Airlines, Inc. All flights on the itinerary must be domestic flights marketed by American Airlines and operated by American Airlines or American Eagle. This benefit will not be available for travel on codeshare flights booked with an American Airlines flight number but operated by another airline. For the Citi® / AAdvantage® credit card, up to four (4) companions traveling with the eligible primary credit cardmember will also get their first checked bag free of charge if they are listed in the same reservation. Waiver does not apply to overweight or oversized bags. This benefit cannot be combined with any existing AAdvantage® program benefits, or with First or Business class benefits, including any waiver of baggage charges.Please see aa.com/baggage " for baggage weight and size restrictions. Applicable terms and conditions are subject to change without notice.

It's very simple you do NOT need to pay using AA card you just NeEd to make sure your card is properly linked to your AA advantage account ans profile. Wen your logged into your AA account on your app you will see something that says AAdvantage credit card holder no miles expiry etc. That means the AA profile is tied and regardless how or what you oay with you get the same Priority and Bag benefits per the card terms. HTH

also MOST IMPORTANT the primary account making the booking MUst be under who the booking is under doesn't need to be paid usinf AA citi card.

I took advantage of this offer in the spring. About $2k of my required spend was met with a booking.com charge for the family's beach vacation that we recently canceled due to half the family coming from Asheville, NC. I just received the full refund for that cancelled trip.

I hadn't used my AA points yet. Are they likely to be taken away since I wouldn't have met the spend requirement without that charge?
