AAdvantage world elite application

Anonymous — Wed, 21 May 2014 04:59:17 GMT

Hello, I was looking to apply to this card but I see different offers from different sites, i.e these two

https://www.citi.com/credit-cards/credit-card-details/detail.do?ID=citi-executive-aadvantage-world-elite-mastercard

http://www.aa.com/i18n/AAdvantage/earnMiles/beyondTravel/creditDebit/citi-executive.jsp?anchorLocation=landing-page&title=citiexecutive

and I believe I've seen a couple more. My question is, does it matter from which website you apply to get the rewards? Or is it all the same? Thanks!

It absolutly matters, where you sign up determins what sign up bonus you will get. The two you have listed isn't even the best offer! There is a 100k and $200 credit one that DW and I just signed up for.

Do you think the credit score requirements vary from offer to offer?

No. The UW requirements would be the same

OP, you need to google "Citi AA 100k offer". As other have said it absolutely matters because whichever landing you apply from, if approved that is your bonus. Once in awhile Citi will honor a better offer, but do not count on it. Look for that 100k offer, plus it gives you $200 statement credit. The Priority AAccess alone is worth the AF - you bypass the snail line at TSA and of course Admirals Club access.

This card also seems to have a fairly high approval rate. Just remember the Citi rules: No more than 6 inq on EX (or whoever they pull in your area) in the last 6 months. No more than 1 app of any kind (approval or denial) every 8 days or 2 every 65 (to be safe).

Just remember that each offer also has a unique minimum spend. Some people may not be able to meet the minimum for the higher bonus miles. In that case, the 60k or 75k offers may make more sense. I know that 10k in 3 months isn't much to the target audience for this card, but a lot of people beyond the ones AA was trying to attract have applied and then used huge amounts of MS to hit the minimum.
