Citi AAdvantage Executive Card Refresh: Key Steps for Existing Holders

The revamped Citi/AAdvantage Executive card has activated its updated perks, including a $250 American Airlines Vacations credit valid through year-end and new hotel and rental car elite status benefits. Cardholders also gain additional statement credits, but the annual fee rises to $695, with new applicants paying the higher rate starting Aug. 23. Existing members should prioritize using the vacation credit before Dec. 31, as unused amounts will not carry over.
