To get the Citi Platinum Select AAdvantage Mastercard 50,000-mile bonus, spend $2,500 on the card in the first 3 months of account opening.

The initial 50,000-mile bonus is worth nearly $600 in American Airlines airfare, so it’s well worth the effort to hit the spending requirement. It also more than pays for the annual fee, which is $0 for the first year and $99 every year after that.
