Transfer Points to American Airlines
We already had reports that mentioned the addition of American Airlines as a Citi transfer partner. However the rumors was that transfers would go live at a later date.
Instead transfers are already live for Citi Strata Elite cardholders (and Strata Premier and Prestige cardholders) at a ratio of 1:1.
