Citi Sets April 24 Switch for AAdvantage Cards With Temporary Legacy-Perk Stacking

Legacy perks will briefly stack with Citi benefits, with credit limits and anniversaries preserved.

Overview

  • Barclays-issued AAdvantage credit cards will convert to Citi on April 24, and cardholders will receive new cards with new account numbers.
  • Account access will be unavailable from April 24 to April 26 during the transition window.
  • Citi confirms an unspecified period when legacy Barclays perks remain active alongside the mapped Citi benefits, creating a short-term stacking opportunity.
  • Existing credit limits and card anniversary dates will carry over unchanged, with any new annual fee applying at the next anniversary.
  • Barclays products will map to Citi equivalents, including Aviator Red to AAdvantage Platinum Select, Aviator Silver to AAdvantage Globe, Aviator Blue to AAdvantage MileUp, and Aviator Business to AAdvantage Business.
