Question
Hi,
I would like to get Citibank AAdvantage.
I live in Germany but I can not get any
info about such cards here. I found only
cards on US and UK websites. Unfortunatelly
"US (UK) residents only".
Any help will be highly appreciated.
(If you come to Frankfurt I will buy you
lot of beers http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif )
Answer
The rumor is that Starwood is ending the Optima card, and replacing it with a Citi visa/mc. (see starwood bulletin boardsite, I don't know how to bring the HTML over).
If that is correct, and the Starwood program continues at current rewards, you can charge $20,000 for 20,000 points, and transfer them to AA for 25,000 miles. (I think AA participates).
This is supposed to occur (rumor) in June/July.
If that works, will you buy me lots of riesling? I don't drink beer.

Answer
Actually, Citibank does offer the Citi AAdvantage card in Germany (and Italy too). Both offerings in Germany and Itlay are for a VISA Gold card and a 5,000 mile first purchase bonus. When I was at the ITB trade show in Berlin in March, Citibank had a pretty big booth promoting the product.
You can go to http:\\www.citi-aadvantage.de for information on the card in Germany. I'll post the telphone number once I can find the information that I picked up.
A friend of mine in Milan just applied for the card in Italy. I'll get that number for you soon.

Absik001 - did you every apply for the card?
A friend of mine is moving back to Germany from Dallas and he is thinking of applying. Just wondering if you did and what you think thus far.
Cheers.

Answer
Not yet. I have printed the application
and put it into shelf - it is not possible to apply on-line and I am lazy to fill it out and send it by snail-mail ... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif
