I have CITI AAdvantage Amex as well, and I love it!  I have Sears and Home Depot as well, which are citi cards.

I think it's mostly because the systematic decisions are enforced 99.99% of the time. You can't call Citi and talk your way from a decline into a $15,000 approval or recon that $500 limit into $5,000, etc. However the system decisions your application, that is upheld and very rarely overturned.
