Citi increased the sign up bonus on their American Airlines AAdvantage card to 60,000 miles for a limited time.
I picked up this card in my $4,292 Credit Card Application Spree [1] this spring when it was 50,000 miles! I sent a message to request a match and they honored it; you may want to try the same if you picked up this card before the bonus increased.
We used American miles for free flights to Disney World. Combined with free Disney hotels [2] and free Disney tickets [3] we saved quite a bit of money!
The 60,000 American Airlines AAdvantage bonus miles are this week’s Free Money [4] Friday offer.
