AAdvantage® bonus miles

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) are not purchases. American Airlines AAdvantage® bonus miles typically will appear as a bonus in your AAdvantage® account 8-10 weeks after you have met the purchase requirements. AAdvantage® miles may be earned on purchases made by primary credit cardmembers and Authorized Users. Purchases must post to your account during the promotional period. Many merchants will wait for a purchase to ship before they post the purchase to your account. AAdvantage® miles earned will be posted to the primary credit cardmember’s AAdvantage® account.

2X AAdvantage® miles on grocery store purchases
Earn 1 AAdvantage® base mile and 1 AAdvantage® bonus mile, for a total of 2 AAdvantage miles, for each $1 spent on purchases at grocery stores. Grocery stores are classified as supermarkets, freezer/meat locker provisioners, dairy product stores, miscellaneous food/convenience stores, markets, specialty vendors, and bakeries.
 
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 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 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 miles. AAdvantage® miles earned will be posted to the primary credit cardmember’s AAdvantage® account in 8-10 weeks.

Authorized Users have access to your credit card account information. Before adding an Authorized User, you must let him/her know that we may report credit card account performance to the credit reporting agencies in the Authorized User’s name. If we ask for information about the Authorized User, you must obtain their permission to share their information with us and for us to share it as allowed by applicable law. Authorized Users do not receive the first checked bag free or boarding benefits.
