Another Frugal Travel Guy pointer, American is offering 35,000 miles after $750 in purchases within 4 months of cardmembership for your choice of Citibank co-branded Mastercard, Visa, or American Express.
The especially nice thing here, indeed, is that you can get the bonus for signing up for one of each card — that’s 105,000 miles for three credit card signups.
This specific offer doesn’t come with an annual fee waiver, so the card costs $85. Please let me know if you come across this same offer with a fee waiver, that would be ideal.
The previous best offer — which some will prefer because a first year fee waiver is available — is 30,000 miles after $750 in purchases and 5000 more bonus miles after $5000 in purchases within 12 months.
Update: Thanks to a reader in the comments and by email, here’s the offer with fee waived the first year. 35,000 miles for an American Airlines credit card. Best generally-available offer for an Ameircan co-branded card I’ve ever seen from Citi!
Not sure if you can actually get all three with all the new t&c’s. Have had the mastercard and visa in the past (both cancelled long ago). Last week I applied for the Amex and was rejected due to having the other two cards in the past. YMMV
Please let me know if you come across this same offer with a fee waiver

Gary, the offer linked to in the update requires $5K in spend to get an extra 5K points (on top of the initial 30K). The offers I cite above are for 35K points for $750 in spend.
I concur- I don’t think this offer works for current cardholders… I already have an AA Citibank Mastercard 🙁
@beltway, grabbed the wrong link (from my earlier post..) — thanks for catching that!
Different matter to be REJECTED FOR THE CARD and to get the card but not be awarded the bonus. I *think* consensus is one bonus per card type (though you may be able to get multiple bonuses for multiple business cards).
The current BEST offer is 35K with $750 spend and no first year fee. My experience is that it is one sign up bonus per type of card. 1 MC, 1 Visa, 1 Amex. If you get refused it is time to talk to a supervisor at Citi.
Applied and approved for the AMEX. I already have an MC (have had for a few years). I am not a Citi churner (though sometimes I wish I had…)
When I try to apply- I get an error message- “AccountOnline Temporarily Unavailable”
file, error 404 came up when clicking on the individual cards; may be glitch, will try again tomorrow
so u can get one bonus per a card?
eg. u have mc, and visa but got turned down for AMEX super will/can overrule decline?
this is confirmed?
so u have to cancel the existing AA card to get another with bonus? do u have to wait 60 days anymore or can u reapply for diff cc right away?
