Signup bonus: 60,000 points after $4,000 in 3 months. We never count unearned bonuses in savings math — a bonus you don't clear is worth zero. Bonus figure confirmed on the issuer's page 2026-09-10.
Statement credits — $230/yr on paper
| Credit | Value | How it pays |
|---|---|---|
| Annual Splurge Credit℠ | $100/year | annual · enrollment required |
| Inflight purchase credit | $100/year | annual |
| Global Entry/TSA PreCheck credit | $30/year | once every 4 years |
Monthly and quarterly credits expire if unused — that's where most of their printed value quietly disappears.

Does the fee earn out?
The $350 fee minus $230 in printed credits leaves $120/yr to earn back through rewards — roughly $4,445 of dining spending at 2x (valuing AAdvantage miles at the same mid-range value the optimizer uses). Whether that clears depends on your actual spending.

Don't want the fee any more?
Citi® / AAdvantage® Globe™ Mastercard® can normally be product-changed to two lower-fee cards in the Citi AAdvantage family instead of being closed — which keeps the account, its age and its credit line.
