Certain Non-Qualifying Purchases. You won’t earn double AAdvantage® miles for purchases at general merchandise/ discount superstores, wholesale/ warehouse clubs, candy/ confectionery stores, cafes, bars, lounges, and fast food restaurants.

Merchant Classification for Rewards Categories. Merchants are assigned a merchant category code (“MCC”), which is determined in accordance with Visa/Mastercard/American Express procedures based on the kinds of products and services the merchants primarily sell. Citi does not control the assignment of these codes and are not responsible for the codes used by merchants. When you use your card to make a purchase, Citi is provided an MCC for that purchase. Citi groups similar merchant codes into categories for purposes of making rewards offers. Sometimes you may expect a purchase to fit within a rewards category, but if the code assigned to the merchant wasn’t grouped into that category as recognized by Citi, your purchase will not qualify for additional AAdvantage® miles. [For example, you won’t earn additional AAdvantage® miles for purchases at a restaurant located within a retailer if the restaurant is assigned a “retailer” code instead of a “restaurant” code.] Please also note – purchases made through mobile/wireless technology may not earn additional AAdvantage® miles depending on how the technology is set up to process the purchase.

Citi reserves the right to determine which purchases qualify for this offer. AAdvantage® miles may be earned on purchases made by primary credit cardmembers and Authorized Users. Balance transfers, cash advances, checks that access your credit card account, items and services returned for credit, unauthorized charges, interest and account fees, traveler’s checks, purchases of foreign currency, money orders, wire transfers (and similar cash-like transactions), lottery tickets, and gaming chips (and similar betting transactions) do not earn AAdvantage® miles.
