Love this card

Credit Karma Member

So what makes this card better than other AA-branded credit cards is that whatever you buy on this card goes toward your Admiral's Club points. I did not know this until I was travelling with a friend and she had another AA-branded card BUT she told me the only way she accrues AA Admiral's Club points is by buying AA plane tix. If she goes to a restaurant and uses her card, she doesn't get points. I got this card with an 818 TU credit score and $45,100 credit limit (my highest CL).

Horrible Dispute Process

Credit Karma Member

I have the American Airlines Executive Mastercard with Citi. I would like to start off saying that I have an 850 credit score and have many other high fee cards because I travel very often with work. I have never missed a payment an consider myself to be an excellent customer. Because I fly American, I thought it would make sense for me to get this card. I enjoy the Admiral’s Club benefits, but that’s about it. I had a dispute with a merchant charge in late August. I immediately reached out to Citi. I got zero response from them, and in about a week the dispute was closed with no reason. I called in and I was told that the dispute was not able to be reopened and I that I needed to email a certain department. This call took about 15 minutes and I was forced to talk to several different departments, one that I strongly feel was not even in the US. I sent an email to the department that I was told to do so. I submitted supporting documents. Again, after about 10 days I called in to see what was happening. I got no response that the email had been received. When I called in I was told that I would get a response in just a few more days, which I did not. This call also took about 15 minutes and I had to talk to two departments. At this point I was getting annoyed. This kind of card with a $595 fee should have better customer service. I called for the third time and I was told that the second dispute was also closed with no correspondence from Citi. I asked why and was told that there were no notes, and they could do nothing to help me. They then offered (bargained) with me to take a $250 payment when the disputed charge was for $396. I was furious. I felt like they were implying I was trying to get something for free, when the charge was 100% not authorized by me. I told them I wanted to cancel all my Citi accounts and they did not even try to save my business. This call took 51 minutes, four departments and again I was sent out of the US. To make this situation even more comical, they applied a $250 credit to a charge that wasn’t even disputed. I have had disputes with Chase and American Express with zero issue. The responses I got from them were more of “we are sorry this happened, we will credit your account right away.” With Citi they basically implied that I was the one that was wrong and that I should be grateful for the $250 “Gift.” I have already paid my yearly fee, but rest assured I will not keep my accounts open for the next year.
