In-Depth Credit Card Review
This online card application is intended for residents of the United States only. For other country options, please refer to the right hand menu bar.
The Citi® Bronze® / AAdvantage® Card for College Students, one of several Citi® AAdvantage® credit cards offered by Citibank, is designed for students with average credit who travel regularly on American Airlines.

Through the reward program, cardholders earn one mile for every two dollars spent on the card. Miles are redeemable for flights on over 25 partner airlines, car rentals, and stays at hundreds of hotels worldwide. There is a maximum of 25,000 miles that can be accumulated each year (AAdvantage Executive Platinum®, AAdvantage Platinum®, and AAdvantage Gold® members are excluded from this limit.), and miles may never expire.

The APR for purchases is above average for a reward card. There is also a minimum cap of 19.99% for cash advances; so no matter how low the Prime Rate falls (the APR is tied to the Prime Rate), the interest rate will not go below the minimum cap. However, this card does offer a 0% introductory rate on balance transfers for the first six months.

Aside from the reward program, cardholders can expect several standard benefits that include travel accident insurance, no liability for unauthorized transactions, and various Internet account related services. Students also receive access to credit education tips and tools, and they get special student deals at participating merchants.

Therefore, those students who would like an airline reward card with no annual fee and will take advantage of the introductory offer will benefit most from what the Citi® Bronze® / AAdvantage® Card for College Students has to offer.

Most Attractive Feature: Access to rewards program for no additional fee; no annual fee; compatible with airline frequent flyer program.
Least Attractive Feature: No extraordinary benefits or services offered to cardholders aside from the reward program; minimum APR cap for cash advances.
