Our Verdict
There is currently a 50,000 mile offer that doesn’t include the 24 month language, in addition to that you can get that offer matched to 60,000 miles. I assume it won’t be possible to get this offer matched to 60,000 miles + $100. The other offer is better unless you value American Airline miles at under 0.5¢ each and if that’s the case I’d question why you’re signing up for this card in the first place.
If anybody does get this card and tries matching to the 60,000 point offer, please let us know how you go. Because of these reasons we won’t be adding it to our best credit card offers page. As always, read these things you need to know about Citi credit cards before applying.
