If airmiles are your goal, this is a great card.  I have seen bonus sign up offers ranging from 15,000 to 25,000 airmiles, and this through a very good organization in my opinion. In the 10 years I have carried an AAdvantage Citibank Mastercard, I have had zero problems, and have found Citibank to...

I have found that this card is a very good card to use but only in dier need when you have no cash or on vacation and do not want to carrie cash... Enjoy only have one or two credit cards in your name or even in hand you dont want to many cards because that is a good way to ruin you credit.

loyal card carrier, like to pay my bills in total

I have had a Citbank AAdvantage Platinum Mastercard for many years.  I like this card because I belong to American Airlines frequent flier program and I receive a reward of one mile for every dollar I spend using the card.  I love the idea of being rewarded for spending money.  Actually, I prefer to pay cash for my purchases, however, as long as I have the cash to pay off the bill in full each month, I might as well build up my frequent flyer miles free of charge.

Right now, Citibank has a 20th anniverary Promotion that allows you to earn 20,000 bonus miles after you make $750 in purchases within...

All my other platinum cards come with no annual fee except for this one.

What I get back in benefits with the air mileage makes up for it and then some. 

Not sure how the changes in the travel business will affect how the miles are earned and what I can redeem them for.  In the past I have been able to transfer miles to Hilton HHonors for hotel points.  This allowed my wife and I discounts on air travel, car rental and free hotel stays when we vacationed.

I got this AAdvantage Mastercard a few months ago and am already racking up so many American Airlines miles. When I signed up for the card I got enough miles for a domestic round trip flight. After that my miles just keep adding up. It's so exciting to be able to get so many miles just by making your everyday purchases.

There are also special deals available only to the credit card holders. You get offers for certain destinations you can go for less miles. If you love to travel this credit card is definitely the way to go. You won't be disappointed.

There is no annual fee for the card the first...

The CitiAdvantage card is a nice one to have.  I fly American Airlines a lot and the miles add up quickly especially when you use the card to buy your airline tickets.

Redemption is always easy.

My only complaint is that there is a yearly fee often associated with this card unless you have stellar credit.  Mine is in the low 700's so I'm not sure what the "magic" level is for them to change how much they charge, but I keep on them to try and get the fee eliminated.  Each time (which is something I think you need to do with EVERY credit card you own) I call, I ask them to reduce my APR... they...

Unfortunately this card is no longer available....mine has been grandfathered. You earn 1 air mile for every $15 spent. What is great about this card is that you don't need 10000 miles to fly somewhere. How ever many air miles it is to your destination is how many miles you need to redeem. Second best thing...you just use Citi's travel agency and you can fly on ANY airline. You're not limited to just one so if one airline goes out of business you're not out of luck. Miles don't expire either. Only problem now...Cit is in financial trouble and all my miles may become useless.

I'm a frequent traveler, and although I don't use the card enough to accumulate so many points as to qualify for a free ticket often, I've already used a free ticket through the generous introductory offer for 20,000 points (25,000 is the minimum for a domestic ticket). I'm also very happy with the absence of a preset limit, because I use this card often when travelling.

This card is worth getting.  I enjoy traveling internationally and one can book an international flight for as low as 40000pts to Europe.  Sometimes they have deals and one can go for much cheaper.  So I would recommend anyone who enjoys flying, to get this card :)

My experience over the past 10 years have been very positive.  Any disputes with suppliers have always been handled and credited timely to my account.  Credit limits are adequate and consistent with good credit.  Points programs are beneficial perks.  Customer service is amazing.

Initial account opening incentives included a buy one get one free coupon for future flight.  Being that I knew I was flying for a friend's wedding, I accepted this credit card SPECIFICALLY for the BOGO flight coupon.  My end of the deal was to make a number of purchases and they would send the BOGO coupon in 8 - 12 weeks.  On the 8th week I phoned to see how things were going, and no one could help me until the full 12 weeks had passed - which by that time when I did call I needed the coupon in my hand.  One operator told me to phone back tomorrow to get a code; one operator told me they could... read full review »

Citi's AAdvantage card is the absolute WORST credit card I have ever used. Although I paid off my balancees in full every month I would keep getting mystery finance charges show up on my card statements. I had to call in almost every month to have them removed. In addition, when my purse was stolen, all my credit card companies waived the fraudulent charges (i had called in to report the stolen cards within a half hour), but Citi made me fill out form after form to even consider taking the charges off. Finally, it took me MONTHS to cancel my card. Even after my card was cancelled I kept getting... read full review »
