Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select World Elite Mastercard Credit Card

The Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select World Elite Mastercard is Citi's intermediate premium credit card offered in partnership with American Airlines. The card offers 2 AAdvantage miles per dollar spent on eligible American Airlines, restaurant and gas station purchases and 1 mile per dollar spent on all other purchases. The card carries a $99 annual fee, waived for the first 12 months.

You will also receive some frequent flyer benefits with this card, including one free checked bag for you and up to four companions on your domestic itinerary when flying American. Since a checked bag would normally cost $30 for U.S. domestic flights, this represents a potential savings of $150 one-way or $300 round-trip when you fly with four companions.

The Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select is not a luxury travel card, but it does offer some advantages for those who fly American Airlines. You'll get access to preferred boarding, no foreign transaction fees, free checked baggage on domestic itineraries, and a $125 discount on airfare when you spend $20,000 or more on your card during your membership year and renew your card.

Exclusive Discount

You will receive a $125 flight discount after you spend $20,000 on your card in a membership year and renew your card. If you plan to spend that amount on your Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select card, this annual flight discount more than helps justify the annual card fee.
