Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select World Elite Mastercard

Customers that fly on American Airlines will earn double miles with this American card. Customers only have to spend $834 each month after opening this card to earn the 50,000 AAdvantage bonus miles, and they’re worth well over $1,000. That may be enough to book one round-trip economy flight in the U.S or half of a round-trip first-class ticket.

With this Mastercard, customers earn 2 miles per $1 spent on American Airlines, restaurant, and gas station purchases. Outside of those categories, customers can earn 1 mile per $1 spent. Customers can board flights through Priority boarding and before economy passengers. This benefit applies to customers and up to four travel companions on the same reservation, and gives them a better chance of getting space in the overhead bin for their carry-ons. 

Citi’s Fraud Early Warning system will notify customers of suspicious account activity. If their card is lost or stolen, they can use the mobile app to instantly lock it to prevent fraud. This feature conveniently allows recurring transactions to proceed uninterrupted until the matter is resolved.
