Double AAdvantage^® Miles on Purchases in Select Business Categories

Earn 2 AAdvantage^® miles per $1 spent on purchases at certain telecommunications merchants, car rental merchants, cable and satellite providers, and at gas stations. Telecommunications merchants are classified as merchants that sell telecommunications equipment such as telephones, fax machines, pagers, and cellular phones, along with providers of telecommunications services including local and long-distance telephone calls and fax services. Car rental merchants are classified as providers of short-term or long-term rentals of cars, trucks, or vans. Cable and satellite providers are classified as merchants that provide the connection and ongoing delivery of television, internet (computer network, information services, email website hosting services) telephone and radio programming via cable or satellite on a subscription or fee basis. Gas stations are classified as merchants that sell fuel primarily for consumer use and may or may not be attended.

Certain Non-Qualifying Purchases

Car rental purchases not eligible to receive double AAdvantage^® miles include purchases at merchants that rent motor homes or other recreational vehicles and purchases made through travel agencies, tour operators, and online third party travel sites and charges paid on car rental redemptions through Rocketmiles. Gas station purchases not eligible to receive double AAdvantage^® miles include, but are not limited to, purchases made at warehouse clubs that do not code gas station purchases under a gas station code, discount stores, department stores, and convenience stores.

Merchant Classification for Rewards Categories

Merchants are assigned a merchant category code ("MCC"), which is determined in accordance with Visa/Mastercard/American Express procedures based on the kinds of products and services the merchants primarily sell. Citi does not control the assignment of these codes and are not responsible for the codes used by merchants. When you use your card to make a purchase, Citi is provided an MCC for that purchase. Citi groups similar merchant codes into categories for purposes of making rewards offers. Sometimes you may expect a purchase to fit within a rewards category, but if the code assigned to the merchant wasn't grouped into that category as recognized by Citi, your purchase will not qualify for additional AAdvantage^® miles. [For example, you won't earn additional AAdvantage^® miles for purchases at a restaurant located within a retailer if the restaurant is assigned a "retailer" code instead of a "restaurant" code.] Please also note – purchases made through mobile/wireless technology may not earn additional AAdvantage^® miles depending on how the technology is set up to process the purchase.

Citi reserves the right to determine which purchases qualify for this offer. AAdvantage^® miles may be earned on purchases made by primary credit cardmembers and Authorized Users. Balance transfers, cash advances, checks that access your credit card account, items and services returned for credit, unauthorized charges, interest and account fees, traveler's checks, purchases of foreign currency, money orders, wire transfers (and similar cash-like transactions), lottery tickets, and gaming chips (and similar betting transactions) account do not earn AAdvantage^® miles.
