What it earns
Rates are the multipliers Citi advertises. We do not convert them into a percentage return, because that requires putting a price on AA AAdvantage Miles and that price is a judgement, not a fact — see how we source this.

|---|---|---|
| Hotel (AA.com) | 6x | |
| Airline(AA) | 3x | Everything else |
| Transit | 2x | |
| Other | 1x | Everything else |
Statement credits
$470 a year across 4 credits against a $350 annual fee. The columns that matter are the cap and the reset date: a credit paid monthly cannot be saved up, and one that resets on the calendar year expires on 31 December no matter when you opened the card.
