Citi, for apparent reason, except maybe spend, my American Airlines World card was upgraded to Elite status. I have only had the account for a few months and yesterday I got a new card in the mail and it was World Elite.
Congrats!

Reason: So they can charge higher merchant transaction fees.

Maye like the DC and all cards will be WEMC
My AAdvantage Platinum was also updated to WEMC soon after approval as WMC in July. I doubt it is based on any spend criteria, but who knows.
Congratulations!

This is a well known loophole. Now go apply for another AA card and get yourself another bonus, wait until that one is upgraded and open another. Rinse and repeat until you feel you have enough bonuses for your next trip.
