Citi American Airlines AAdvantage Platinum going to No FTF

I got an email that my Citi American AAdvantage card is going to make some changes:

Drop the $100 credit after spending 30,000. Ok. Doesn't affect me.

No FTF after November 15, 2015. This is quite good.

Re: Citi American Airlines AAdvantage Platinum going to No FTF

Barclay's Aviator Red card has no FTF, so in that respect Citi is just playing catch-up.

 

The $100 credit after 30k spend is no real loss either. I can think of many other cards I'd rather put that 30k spend on.

EX 798, EQ 789, TU 784
American Express Platinum (NPSL) || Bank of America Privileges with Travel Rewards Visa Signature - $23,200 CL
Barclays American Airlines Aviator Red World Elite Mastercard - $20,000 CL || Chase IHG Rewards World Mastercard - $25,000 CL
Chase Sapphire Preferred Visa Signature - $12,700 CL || Chase United MileagePlus Club World Elite MasterCard - $26,500 CL
Citibank Hilton Reserve Visa Signature - $20,000 CL || J.P. Morgan Ritz Carlton Visa Signature - $23,500 CL

Re: Citi American Airlines AAdvantage Platinum going to No FTF

What surprised me after getting the email is receiving account agreement mail from Citi yesterday (I got it for AA and one other, expecting it for my other two cards soon).   The AA one, which goes into effect Nov (7th?) still lists the FTF with no indication it is going away.   Thought they would have at least noted that was changing in the 15 page agreement!
