Overview

  • Citi and American introduced the mid‑tier Citi / AAdvantage Globe Mastercard with a $350 annual fee and a 90,000‑mile welcome offer after $5,000 in purchases within four months.
  • Core travel perks include four Admirals Club Globe passes per calendar year (usable across clubs for 24 hours), a $99 domestic companion certificate after renewal, up to $100 in inflight statement credits, a first checked bag, and Group 5 boarding for the cardholder and up to eight companions.
  • The card adds up to $100 in annual “Splurge” credits at select merchants and up to $240 in Turo credits ($30 per completed trip), plus a Global Entry or TSA PreCheck application fee credit.
  • Earning structure features 6x miles on AAdvantage Hotels bookings, 3x on American purchases, 2x at restaurants, 1x on other spend, and 1 Loyalty Point per dollar, with Flight Streak bonuses of 5,000 Loyalty Points every four qualifying American flights up to 15,000 per status year.
  • The launch advances Citi’s Project Falcon consolidation as Barclays exits new AAdvantage issuance, while details on how Aviator Silver accounts and their spend‑based benefits will transition remain unspecified.
