Let us know what you think!
Does the purchase of gift cards count toward the $3,500 required spend? This is their wording…
AAdvantage® bonus miles
Balance transfers, cash advances, checks that access your credit card account, items and services returned for credit, unauthorized charges, interest and account fees, traveler’s checks, purchases of foreign currency, money orders, wire transfers (and similar cash-like transactions), lottery tickets, and gaming chips (and similar betting transactions) are not purchases.
I don’t see any wording that specifically precludes buying gift cards but I don’t want to be surprised!
Does getting approval for the Citi Strata 12 months ago preclude you from getting the SUB for the Citi Aadvantage card? Thankyou
“New account bonus is not available if you have received a new account bonus for a Citi® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® account in the past 48 months ”
Any way to confirm when you got the last sign up bonus? Citi wasn’t helpful in answering that question and I’m not sure whether I’m passed the 48-month mark.
