Citi AA Master Thread

What was the reason you closed it, A/A?

I did not close it yet, but I wanna close it

[Joe4007]

How do I move the closing date?

You ask them to move the payment due date, and the closing date automatically changes. IME they won't change it within a couple of days of the closing date.

why do you wanna close, A/A?
If not what should be the problem opening with your address?

No I'm not A/Aed yet, but I'm fearing getting A/Aed, since 600k miles went out from my account in the last year. And not one was for me.. That's why I'd rather close it manually rather than waiting on them to do it, and I was wondering if somebody has experience with it.

You misread his post. He's saying that people have had success getting the AF waived, not refunded (which you'll obviously get since it's in the T&C that you can cancel and be refunded).

OOO got it thanks. my bad.

That has nothing to do with citi.
It's a issue that AA might come after you for selling miles

I'm sorry for not being clear, but by AA account I meant American Airlines FF account

You are luck that AA has not audited your account.

He is what I plan to do. Let me know, if it is doable.
1. apply 100k points and $200 statement credit, $10k spend card Citi AA card.
2. Buy immediate refundable business class ticket and spend $10k.
3. Hopefully after first statement closes I will get $200 statement credit, 100k points. $450 AF.
4. Cancel refundable ticket. Cancel card within 30 days of statement posting.
5. Get AF refunded.

Is all of above possible? Any experience with success on it?

Any other idea to manufacture $10k spend within first statement and get it refunded after points post?

Great! Thanks for feedback. So you think all of above is possible to collect 100kpoints and $200 and not spend anything and also get AF back if card is closed in time. Right?

NOT possible. You need to spend 10k. No refundable. If you decide to do this - you're playing with fire and you have been warned ...

Phew    you brought my whole enthusiasm down to apply. I cant do 10K within first month to get AF back. deal is not for me. Thanks for educating me though.

Hopefully last question from me. If somehow, I come up with 10K. I buy 10K worth of gift cards from Walmart, Macy etc.... in first month itself on this card. then pay card - 10K-$200(statement credit) = $9800 (if I can come up with that much money) as soon as statement post. then cancel the card, I get my AF back.

then will continue to spend thru Gift cards for all the time in our shopping for foreseeable future. Is that possible to collect 100K points, $200 credit and no cost to me? will that work?
