If you have a Citi credit card, you’ll want to pay close attention. You may be able to earn up to 5x miles from a targeted spending offer.

Read on to see how you may be able to earn extra miles with the latest offer.

Citi Targeted Spending Offer

Since these offers are targeted, it’s important to note that not everyone will receive an offer. Moreover, your offer could be different than the ones we’re discussing here.

That being said, it’s wise to check your email and your physical mailbox, as Citi has been known to send these kinds of offers via snail mail and/or email in the past.

The latest offer is aimed at those with Citi’s AAdvantage credit cards that earn American Airlines miles.

Eligible cardholders can earn 5 miles per $1 spent, up to 2,500 bonus miles, on online purchases. This offer runs through July 31, 2026.

Earning bonus miles on online purchases is a fantastic offer for those who have it. Purchases from American Airlines and restaurants don’t qualify for bonus earnings.

Here are a few other points you should be aware of:

You must activate this offer by June 15, and it ends on July 31, 2026.
Bonus miles earned will be posted to your AAdvantage account within 1 to 2 billing cycles.

We’re seeing this new offer on Citi’s American Airlines co-branded cards, such as the American Airlines AAdvantage^® MileUp^® and Citi^® / AAdvantage^® Platinum Select^® World Elite Mastercard^®. If you have one of these or another AAdvantage credit card, it’s worth checking to see if you’ve received a new spending offer on your card.

As with all targeted offers, they can vary significantly between cardholders and card products. And not everyone will be targeted for the offer this time around.

Hot Tip:

There’s no harm in enrolling for offers such as these, even if you don’t think you’ll maximize them. If you get an offer, put that card in the front of your wallet so you remember to use it during the bonus-earning period.

Final Thoughts

Citi is sending out its latest round of targeted spending offers for cardholders. These offers typically don’t include small business credit cards, and not everyone will see the same offer — or might not receive any — on their personal cards.

If you receive an offer, remember you need to activate it. If you do, you can earn up to 2,500 bonus AAdvantage miles on spending through July 31, 2026.
