What are the Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select benefits?
Some of the best Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select benefits are a free checked bag and preferred boarding on American Airlines flights, along with 25% discounts on inflight purchases. Unfortunately, Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select doesn't offer traditional benefits like travel insurance, purchase protection or extended warranty coverage, as Citi dropped many perks from the card back in 2019.
Current Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select benefits include:
- Free checked bag. Available to you and up to 4 guests on the same reservation on domestic American Airlines flights.
- Priority boarding. Available to you and up to 4 guests on the same reservation on all American Airlines flights.
- Inflight purchases discount. 25% off of inflight food and beverage purchases paid for with the Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select Card on American Airlines flights.
- Airfare discount. $125 American Airlines flight discount each card membership year you spend $20,000 on your card and pay the annual fee to renew the card.
- 0% foreign transaction fee. Makes the card great to use abroad.
In addition to these Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select benefits, the card offers generous rewards, including an initial bonus of 50,000 miles for spending $2,500 in the first 3 months. So, despite the lack of many traditional perks, Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select still has a lot to offer. The benefits can be well worth the annual fee of $99 from the second year onward ($0 for the first year).
