The information for the following product(s) has been collected independently by Business Insider: Citi® / AAdvantage® Executive World Elite Mastercard®, Citi® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® World Elite Mastercard®, CitiBusiness® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® World Elite Mastercard®, American Airlines AAdvantage® MileUp®. The details for these products have not been reviewed or provided by the issuer.
The Citi® / AAdvantage® Executive World Elite Mastercard® may appear expensive, but it can more than pay for itself, especially with Admirals Club airport lounge access. With that and other perks, such as a statement credit to cover the Global Entry/TSA PreCeck application fee, this card can be a steal for American Airlines flyers. If you're not an American Airlines flyer, see our guide for the best credit cards.
Do you fly with American Airlines often? Do you constantly spend lengthy stretches at the airport, wishing you could escape to somewhere more quiet and comfortable while you wait? If so, the Citi® / AAdvantage® Executive World Elite Mastercard® is definitely worth considering.
The Citi® / AAdvantage® Executive World Elite Mastercard® may seem pricey with its annual fee of $595, but it comes with access to American Airlines Admirals Clubs. Membership will normally set you back $650 if you're not an elite member of the airline, which makes this credit card a much better deal. Even better, you can add up to 10 authorized users to the card for free — and they'll all get Admirals Club access, as well.
Moreover, the card is offering 70,000 American Airlines AAdvantage® bonus miles after making $7,000 in purchases within the first three months of account opening. The bonus is worth around $980 in travel, based on Insider's valuation of American Airlines miles, and can be used in a bunch of different ways (such as international round trips and business class seats).
Unfortunately, the card only provides 1 mile per dollar spent on non-American Airlines purchases — so the initial welcome bonus is where the ease of earning ends.
This card is also one of the best for earning American Airlines elite status through spending thanks to its 10,000-Loyalty Point bonus after spending $40,000 during the qualifying status year.
If you're not a frequent American Airlines flyer (or if you don't value Admirals Club lounge access), there are other American Airlines credit cards with more palatable annual fees. For example, the Citi® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select®
