Citi and American rebrand business credit card with new bonuses

Authorized employee cards also accrue miles into the AAdvantage Business account while Loyalty Points towards status from card spending accrue to each traveler’s own AAdvantage account. When booking direct with American Airlines for work trips, travelers earn an extra Loyalty Point per dollar spent on tickets.

Historically, getting this card has not impacted approval chances for Chase cards under their 5/24 rule. It is possible to hold this card even if one already possesses a Citi or Barclays consumer or small business credit card. According to reports from readers, approval rates are generally high.

Applicants can only receive an initial bonus on a Citi card every 48 months; this limitation applies specifically to individual cards rather than entire families of cards. For example, holding a Citi Executive or Barclays Aviator Silver card does not preclude one from being approved for this rebranded business card or earning its bonus.

Accumulating at least 69,000 miles through this offer opens up opportunities such as flying from the US to destinations like the Middle East or Southeast Asia in premium classes with partner airlines like Qatar Airways and Japan Airlines.

In addition to Citibank's offerings, American partners with Barclays for co-branded credit cards as well. This allows customers multiple avenues (up to four different cards) to accumulate mileage currency efficiently.
