The Citi AAdvantage World MasterCard awards cardholders with one AAdvantage mile for every dollar spent on the card. Accumulated miles can then be redeemed for hotel stays, car rentals and free travel via American Airlines, American Eagle, American Connection and other participating carriers, with no blackout dates. There is a maximum cap of 100,000 miles that can be earned per card each year, which is well within reason. This limit does not apply for the other AAdvantage cards from Citibank. However, the miles will expire if there is no account activity for three years.
