My Citi Executive Card AA 10,000 EQMs Posted

ByEdward Pizzarello

When AA and Citi came out with the new Citi Executive/AAdvantage Card last year, I jumped on it.  I don’t think the card is a great fit for my everyday spend.  But since I knew I wanted to try and hold onto 1K AND Executive Platinum this year, spending $40K on this card meant I’d have 10K less EQMs to earn flying with my butt in an airline seat.  The card carries a pretty steep fee ($450) but if you need the EQMs I think it’s worth it.

I got done spending the required amount on the card and the points from the most recent statement posted to my account about 3 weeks ago.  I wasn’t sure how long it would take to post but was pleased to see my EQMs increase by 10K a couple of days ago.  There’s no actual notation in my account for those waiting for a visible indication of posting.  But they did post, and in a pretty reasonable timeframe.

 

My goal in life is to fill my family’s passports with stamps, creating buckets of memories along the way. You’ll find me writing about realistic ways for normal people to travel the world, whether you’re on a budget or enjoy luxury. I also enjoy taking us on the occasional detour to explore the inner workings of the travel industry.
