American Airlines AAdvantage (Citibank)

Pros: air mileage, quick replacement of lost card
Cons: none serious

I haven't had any problems with this card -- but, as in my last credit card review, let me first tell you about my usage of the card. I have a 5-figure credit limit on the card, (2/3 available for cash advances), which I've never pushed. I usually use...

Pros: Good Incentive Offers to Help You Get Free Flights
Cons: Charges an Annual Fee, Plus High Interest.

Citibank's credit card offering, in conjunction with American Airlines, can payoff big for an individual, if it is used correctly. I have held the card now for four years. Over this time, I have used my card, and taken advantage of the various...

Pros: Great customer service, separate statements, reasonable rewards, easy to read statements
Cons: The annual fee, and misc. fees that can be missed

How did the Citibank American Airlines become the number one credit card? I would argue that it reached the stadning via value added services. Some might argue that the card reached it's status because of marketing and the first mover advantage, but I...

Pros: good credit line
Cons: $50 annual fee, high interest, frequent flier miles not worth it, dubious insurance

I have the citibank AAdvantage card for 18 months now. It is the only one of my credit cards where I pay an annual fee on ($50 / year) and there is no way to get around that.
Like other credit cards of this type, they give you frequent flyer miles...

Pros: earns you miles, online access, generous lines
Cons: annual fee, interest rate

I have had my Citibank Platinum card for over a year now and I have always been pleased with their customer service and they post your payments on time and really don't call you very often about "special Clubs" to join. When I came...

Pros: customer service, widely accepted
Cons: high interest rate, annual fee

I travel at least twice a year. Only recently I've signed up with two different airline miles programs...Delta SkyMiles because I travel a lot to Mexico and American Airlines for the Caribbean. Also, both have a large number of partner airlines where you...

Pros: CUSTOMER SERVICE! Protection of credit from fraud.
Cons: Rather high interest rate, if you carry a balance.

Pros: Frequent Flyer Miles, Worldwide Acceptance
Cons: Annual Fee

I have had a number of these mileage credit cards, including the FirstUSA United Mileage Plus, and the AMEX Delta Skymiles card. I would rate this card behind my AMEX, but in front of the FirstUSA Mileage Plus.

I am a frequent traveler and...

Pros: Frequent flyer miles.
Cons: Not so good customer service

I have had this credit card for at least three years. I would like to talk about some good things and bad things, so you can be the ultimate judge on whether it is worth it for you to get this card.

Good things:
Because I use this card...

Pros: Miles O'Plenty
Cons: Annual Fee = $49

In my opinion, this is the ONLY credit card worth paying an annual fee ($49) for. To my knowledge, this CANNOT be waived.

Especially if you live in an American hub city (Dallas/Ft. Worth, Miami, etc.) and fly occasionally, this card will get...

Pros: A way for some cardholders to get free air travel, good customer service.
Cons: $50 annual fee, 19% interest rate, 2% "greed" fee on foreign purchases, etc.

For some reason, people love to get airline miles as a reward for credit card usage, and who am I to argue? My domestic partner has a Citibank AAdvantage MasterCard which she uses for all her purchases. AAdvantages The only outstanding ...

Pros: You can go anywhere you want, by just charging everything you possibly can on this card
Cons: High interest rates, $50 annual fee

After reading Ptiemann's assessment of the lack of value he derives from the Citibank AAdvantage card, I feel constrained to write from another perspective. It occurred to me that perhaps the ability to use the miles to one's advantage is dependent upon...

Pros: Free Trips
Cons: $50 Annual Fee

I have had a Citibank AAdvantage card for three years. And it is well worth the $50 annual fee. The program gives you one mile for every dollar charged to the card. As a law student, I use my card to charge tuition and as many expenses as I can....
