Howdy friends, I got a 3x CLI today on my Amex  Cash Magnet card so I decided to also try a CLI with Citi AAdvantage Executive card.  Instant approval from $23k to $30k with a soft pull.  Woop Woop!!

Congratulations!! Well done. I am curious how do you know if it will be a soft pull or HP? I was approved in April 2019 for the Citi AAdvantage Platinum Card but whenever I click the Love button it states they will pull my credit report. Is this the case or not? Anyone?

The soft pull verbage will come up after 3-6 months and then you can most likely get a SP cli depending on your profile, more towards 6+ months to get one if it says a pull will not be done or along those lines and every 6 months there-after assuming your profile supports it and you havent been obtaining a ton of recent credit, etc.

okay, thanks!

Considering all the other cards that you have, what type of spend do you put on the AA card?

---

Normally about 3-5K every month. A few on my card are in the sock drawer.

I was curious about the type of purchases you use it for. Is it mostly for AA travel or regular spend too? I have an AA card, but even my AA tickets go on a card that get me a better return. Just trying to get some ideas on how others use the card. I only have it for the perks and put a charge here and there to justify its existence.

I mostly use it for non AA purchases actually. so if I was to give a percentage of AA purchases to non-AA spend it would 5% AA and 95% other

OP, first congrats on the CLI.

Second, did you happen to check after your CLI to see if the language switch to HP?  With all of the Citi CLI glitch talk, I'm curious if the SP language stuck around for you post-increase.

I keep my AAdvantage arround because of the lounge access as American Airlines dominates here in my area and they have a pretty nice Admirals Club here.  More importantly this was my very first card that offered decent trip/delay protection.  I got it at a time when I couldn't get the CSP/CSR so all of my travel purchases went on their.  I don't use it for air travel purchases anymore as my Citi Prestige gets all of that.  I have the Amex Platinum but don't use it for any airline purchases due to lack of any protection benefits and I'm not willing to purchase 3rd party every time I need to fly.
