The Citi Executive / AAdvantage World Elite MasterCard, American Airlines’ premium co-branded credit card, currently has a special offer available. Under this promo, you’ll earn 100,000 bonus miles when you make $10,000 in purchases within 3 months of account opening. Plus, you’ll earn up to $200 in statement credits on purchases made within 12 months of account opening. Compared to the standard offer available on Citi’s website–which offers 30,000 bonus miles after spending $1,000 in the first 3 months–this is a fantastic deal, provided you can meet the spending requirements. There is an annual fee of $450, for which there is no waiver.

Citi just increased the signup bonus on its premium travel rewards card, the Citi ThankYou® Premier Card, from 30,000 bonus ThankYou points to 50,000 points. 50,000 ThankYou points can be redeemed for $500 in gift cards or up to $625 towards travel.

The bonus does come with a bit of a twist. You’ll earn 20,000 points when you spend at least $2,000 in the first 3 months of opening your account. Then, you’ll earn an additional 30,000 points upon reaching $3,000 in purchases in the first 3 months of your second cardmember year. This means that you will need to pay the annual fee of $125 (which is waived for the first year) at least once, in order to get the full bonus.
