My Latest Credit Card Approval

February 6, 2024 By Nancy 2 Comments

I’m always excited when I’m approved for a new credit card that will earn me a chunk of miles for my next trip! Yesterday, I applied for a new credit card and was instantly approved.

CitiBusiness/AAdvantage Platinum Select World Elite Mastercard

The card I applied for was the CitiBusiness/AAdvantage Platinum Select World Elite Mastercard (our affiliate link). I already have the personal version of the card.

  • 65,000 bonus miles after spending $4000 in the first 3 months
  • 2X miles on AA purchases
  • 2X miles on telecommunications, cable, satellite, car rentals and gas stations
  • 1X miles on all other purchases
  • Free checked bag on AA flights
  • Priority boarding
  • No foreign transaction fees
  • $99 annual fee waived the first year

Note: You cannot receive the bonus if you’ve received it on this card in the last 48 months.

I need more American Airlines miles because my family is planning to visit Japan next year. AA has award seats for 35k miles each way with great award availability. Getting this card will give me 69,000 total AA miles after meeting the minimum spending, which is almost enough for two tickets to Japan.

    It was funny and interesting to read this post today since I also applied for it yesterday and was instantly approved. I received an email offer for 70K miles for $5K spent in 5 months with the free waived for the first year.
