New Debit Card Earning American Airlines AAdvantage Miles
Launch Includes A One Million AAdvantage Mile Grand Prize Sweepstakes
Citibank announced the introduction of the Citibank AAdvantage® Debit Card, which will allow users to receive American Airlines AAdvantage miles for all debit card signature-required purchases, as well as Internet, phone, mail order and point-of-sale debit card purchases when ``credit'' is selected. The card is available to new and existing Citibank checking account customers and will also function as a Citibank ATM card. The card may be used at any of the more than 22 million locations where MasterCard is accepted.

The cards are the first translucent debit cards in the U.S. The Basic Citibank AAdvantage Debit Card has an annual fee of $25.00, earns 1 AAdvantage mile for every $2.00 spent on qualified purchases and allows users to earn up to 60,000 AAdvantage miles per calendar year. The Premium Citibank AAdvantage Debit Card has an annual fee of $65.00, earns 1 AAdvantage mile for every $1.00 spent and affords users the ability to earn up to 100,000 AAdvantage miles per calendar year through qualifying purchases. Cash withdrawal and PIN-based transactions do not earn mileage.

``As the variety of payment options continues to expand, we want to offer customers products that add value to their purchasing behavior. We have a long and successful relationship with the American Airlines AAdvantage program. This allows us to offer our customers who prefer using a debit card the benefits of earning miles with their purchases,'' said Maura Markus, President of Citibanking North America.

``Consumers have told us again and again that earning miles is an incentive they value most. And, now with the new Citibank AAdvantage Debit Card, they can earn AAdvantage miles on purchases made every day,'' said Ed French, President of the AAdvantage Marketing Programs. ``We're also pleased to work with Citibank on this initiative, which complements the family of Citibank AAdvantage products.''
