It does if you applied before 12/01.
Although as of now its only through 12/12...im thinking they will make it a permanent feature of the card...if they dont, im sure alot of people will cancel as it doesnt have any major perks

When they called priority access, before this added feature, there was already a stampede of people. They might as well do away with the group numbers as after EXP, PLT, and priority access board, there is probably no one left to board.

I just flew this AM and an agent in LGA read a memo that said this only applies to Citi MC not Visa...Didnt want to fight so I ended up paying for my bags.

When I showed him the website he said he does not care what Citi says, only what AA says.

I wonder if a cancelled card (that's not yet expired) would work?

I received a letter in the mail stating the new benefits for my Citi AA Visa and that the annual fee will go up to $95 next year... But travel must be booked after 4/2/12.

You should easily be able to dispute it

only if tha travel was booked and ticketed after 4/2 as per terms and conditions    footnote 3
3   First checked bag free
For benefit to apply, at the time of booking, CitiŽ / AAdvantageŽ account must have been open at least 7 days and reservation must include the primary cardmember's American Airlines AAdvantageŽ number. This benefit is valid for travel booked and ticketed on or after April 2, 2012.
(the link on AA.com is  for a visa sig, card)

same here - my letter also indicated that the new $95 annual fee was being waived on  existing cards for the first year
