Earn 3X AAdvantage miles for restaurants and theaters through 3/31/16 if you've received a targeted bonus offer, so check your snail mail. While we've mostly been focused on redeeming AAdvantage miles ahead of the 2016 AAdvantage Award Chart Devaluation, I'm not averse to replacing a few of those AAdvantage miles for future travel even post-devaluation, since we aim to diversify our miles and points.
Here are the offer details:
- Must receive a targeted offer to signup (it will have a 10 digit invitation number)
- After signing up and waiting 2 business days, earn 3X AAdvantage miles per $1 spent on restaurants, show theaters and movie theaters, through March 31, 2016
- Earn a maximum of 2500 AAdvantage bonus miles through this offer
FAQ
How Do I Sign Up?
The easiest way is to go to specialoffers.citicards.com/aadvantage, where you'll be prompted to enter your 10 digit invitation code. Do *not* enter the dashes, even though your code will likely be displayed this way. Instead, just enter the 10 digit number itself without any dashes.
Alternatively, call 1-800-784-2484 and key in your 10 digit code to enroll.
Is the Offer Effective Immediately After Signing Up?
No, although I only found this out when calling Citi about another question. Apparently the bonus takes effect 2 business days after signing up, so don't go out and spend right after enrolling online. If you enrolled today, Friday, then wait until Wednesday to be safe before spending on bonus categories to earn 3X. You can hear the message that the bonus earning is effective 2 business days after enrolling if you call the enrollment number above.
Is the Maximum of 2500 AAdvantage Miles Including or Excluding the 1 Mile per $1?
The 2500 AAdvantage miles maximum applies to the bonus miles, so you can spend $1250 on the targeted categories, restaurants, show theaters and movie theaters, and earn 2500 bonus AAdvantage miles.
Which Restaurants and Theaters Qualify?
Terms state that stand alone restaurants that have a restaurant merchant code for credit card transactions qualify. Movie theaters are self explanatory, and show theaters present live theatrical productions. In all cases, you wouldn't earn the bonus if you buy from a third party, such as a ticket broker, Groupon, Yelp, etc. Note that Citi doesn't determine how restaurants are classified (this is up to a given merchant when signing up for credit card processing).
How Long Will It Take the AAdvantage Bonus Miles to Post?
Terms state that miles earned will be posted to the primary member's AAdvantage accont in 8-10 weeks.
