Unfortunately AA/Citi has gutted this great program and no longer offers international destinations at the discounted rate. Apparently from now on only domestic cities will be offered. You can always call up the number on the back of your credit card to complain/threaten to cancel over the elimination of the discounted international destinations if you’d like them to know how you feel (or if you just want some mileage compensation…)
Q4 Reduced Mileage Awards Linky
Fly to select cities worldwide for 7,500 less miles than American Airlines regularly charges if you have the AAdvantage World Mastercard!
To book these awards just call AA’s AAdvantage desk at 800-882-8880 and reference the following award code:
7,500 miles off Coach: TG8X7A
7,500 miles off Business/First: UG21X2A
You may be able to avoid the $15 phone booking charge by first placing a reservation on hold at aa.com and then calling up AAdvantage to have them reduce the cost of the award by 7,500 miles and ask for the fee to waived since it was originally booked on their website.
Below is a sample list of some of Q4’s valid destinations, origination is allowed from any US48 City.
Open-jaws are permitted
(Note: You may be able to originate from any “destination” city and fly to any US48 city for the discounted rate simply by holding the ticket on aa.com and then referencing the award code above to an AAdvantage agent to get the required mileage reduced by 7,500…Be sure to report back here if you have success with this tactic or if it works for you to get to any international cities for reduced mileage!)

Dan is there any way to still consolidate 2 Citi AAdvantage credit cards instead of closing an older card before the 1st year is up and losing my high cretit limit?
Thanks!

Dan, is it worth to use 17,500 miles on a domestic ticket in general?
Also can you make a short post of which mileage programs you feel are the best with availability where they fly etc. In comparison to others, like which is better united, aa, delta, quantas
