Today I received the following targeted offer for my Citi AAdvantage Executive Mastercard. The offer is for 3x AAdvantage miles on eligible purchases up to 2,500 miles, through 6/20/15 from:

• Department Stores
• Grocery Stores
• Gas Stations
• Restaurants

3x AAdvantage Miles From Citi Executive Card (Targeted)

These categories are really broad and easy to hit. Too bad they cap the offer at 2,500 miles.

The Fine Print

¹ This offer starts upon enrollment and will end on 06/30/15. AAdvantage® miles are only earned on eligible purchases. Earnings associated with this program will equal 2 AAdvantage® bonus mile(s) per $1 spent on eligible purchases and may overlap with other special offers in which you are currently enrolled. AAdvantage® miles earned with this offer are subject to a maximum of 2,500 AAdvantage® bonus miles. Eligible purchases exclude purchases made at warehouses & discount stores, balance transfers, cash advances, convenience checks, items returned for credit, fees and interest charges. Department stores are classified as merchants that provide a general line of merchandise from departments that usually have separate checkout counters. Restaurants are classified as stand-alone dining establishments that primarily prepare food and drinks for immediate consumption by consumers, either on the merchant’s premises or packaged for takeout, and include bars, cocktail lounges, discotheques, nightclubs, taverns and fast food restaurants. Gas stations are classified as merchants that primarily sell vehicle fuel for consumer use. Grocery stores, including supermarkets, are classified as merchants that provide a complete line of food merchandise for home consumption. This offer includes convenience stores which are classified as merchants who sell a limited variety of food items. All purchases must be posted during the promotional period. We do not determine how merchants are classified, however, they are generally classified based upon the merchant’s primary line of business. We reserve the right to determine which purchases qualify for this offer.

In order to qualify for this offer, the account must be open and current at all times. If your account is closed for any reason, including if you convert to another card product, you may no longer be eligible for this offer. You may receive more than one communication regarding this bonus offer with a reply-by-date mentioned within; however, if you have already enrolled in this offer, no further action is required. This promotional offer is non-transferrable and applies to the account ending in the last 4 digits referenced in this offer.

If you have transferred a balance to this account or do so in the future, interest will be charged on purchases made with your credit card, unless your purchases have a 0% APR, or you pay the entire balance (including any transferred balances) in full each month by the payment due date.

Bottom Line

It’s a shame that the cap on this is up to 2,500 miles. I will likely max this out quickly and then go back to using some other cards with better offers. If there was no cap, I would be putting all my purchases on this card! Did you get this offer and will you be using it?
