The universe is ringing like crazy over the chatter of the offer for the Citibank 100,000 miles + 200 statement credit card offer!\u00a0<\/a> So big, the NSA can\u2019t even keep up with the chatter.\u00a0 Let me tell you why this offer should NOT go unnoticed.\u00a0 Here is the reason why: because it\u2019s awesome!! That\u2019s all that needs to be said. 100,000 miles is enough for 4 round-trip domestic tickets, which alone could cost you way over $250 easily!\u00a0 This is also enough for a round trip ticket to Europe, Asia, and even Australia!<\/a>\u00a0 Granted, there are fees associated with this card, but here’s my breakdown on the costs.\u00a0 There is an annual fee of $450 which is non-negotiable. You have to pay this, and usually they charge this upfront, or sometimes at your anniversary date of getting the card.\u00a0 Okay.., no problem.\u00a0 Take notice, you get a $200 statement credit, so that brings the cost down to $250 for 100,000 points!! That\u2019s an awesome deal.\u00a0 If you were to purchase 100,000 points, it would cost you way over $1000, so I don\u2019t need to give you an economics lesson here.<\/p>\n

\"aa_elite_MC\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Okay, so you are asking how the hell am I going to put 10,000 spend on the card within 3 months??\u00a0 IF you use this card for your everyday purchases, you could possibly do this.\u00a0 You will have to get creative and figure out the best way, as I can\u2019t possibly note here every way to put spend on a card.\u00a0 You must learn young grasshopper how to manage your finances, then surely you will be rewarded.\u00a0 I think I heard that in a Bruce Lee movie once, but don\u2019t quote me on it.\u00a0 There is a quick way to do this, with minimal costs.\u00a0 You could do Amazon Payments, which will give you $1,000 spend. Then you could also do US Bank VisaBuxx<\/a>, as that will give you $2,000 spend (with a $10 fee).\u00a0 You\u2019re up to $3,000 already x 3 mths\u00a0 = $9,000.\u00a0 You are $1,000 short of the target spend, which I am pretty sure gas, utilities, the cable bill, and Billy\u2019s softball mitt, and Sally\u2019s girl scout uniform, and those morning lattes, should cover it to $1,000. Oh, and don\u2019t forget food, and gas for the Volvo!\u00a0 Voila! You just scored 100,000 American Airlines AAdvantage miles + $200 statement credit, for a mere $280!!\u00a0 Here is the link below, in case you missed it above. Happy Travels.<\/em><\/p>\n
