Last Chance: I’m Giving Away 25,000 American Miles Plus Lounge Passes

by Gary Leff

A couple of weeks ago I wrote that American Express Platinum cards would still get you into US Airways and American lounges through the end of April.

Platinum cards lost access a month ago. Citibank is now the sole issuer of cards that offer lounge access with the new American Airlines.

And they’ve got – by far – the best credit card offer in the market with a 100,000 mile signup bonus for their Executive Card which bundles American and US Airways lounge access.

This month they’re ready to tell you about this card in American and US Airways lounges. If you come in with a card that used to come with lounge access, they’ll give you a club pass (valid for a year).

They’ve also given me plenty of miles and club passes to give away here on the blog!

I reached out to Citi and they’ve generously offered to provide readers with miles and lounge passes for me to give away (I am not being compensated by Citibank, nor am I keeping any of the prizes for myself).

Here are the prizes:

  • Grand Prize: 25,000 American AAdvantage miles and 4 American Admirals Club passes
  • Four Additional Prizes: 4 American Admirals Club passes (each)

Here’s how to enter, you will just need to leave a comment in the entry thread. Entries close noon Eastern on Sunday April 27.

  2. I almost got to experience the MIA lounge, but was late for my flight. Hopefully I’ll win a pass!

  21. What a great giveaway. And next time I’m at ORD I will have to see if they try and court me when they turn me down with my AMEX

  27. Love your blog, Jeff! I’m new to the miles/points game so I’ll take all I can get! Thanks!

  46. Would love to win to help my account to get my fiancée and I to the Maldives after our wedding!

  47. Thank you for this contest.

    I recently flew on Delta but just showed my Citi Executive American Airlines MasterCard to get into the Admirals Lounge and work for a few hours.

  48. Would love to win, as it would help me get closer to my dream vacation of Australia and New Zealand.

  59. I would love love love 25,000 miles but I would re-gift the club passes since I have the AA Executive Citibank card already.
    Thanks

  141. Wow! Love reading your blog, have learned a lot of from it! I could go on and on…but I know you’re pretty busy!

  236. BOS politely offered zero except entry after I paid for a one month pass.
    love the quiet.

  240. Fantastic! Would love to win these miles for my upcoming trips. Thanks for being generous!
