Card Features and Benefits:

The main reason to choose the Citi® / AAdvantage® Executive World Elite MasterCard® over the lower-annual-fee Citi / AAdvantage Platinum Select World Elite Mastercard is if you would buy Admiral's Club access anyway.

It is cheaper to have access via this card than to buy it outright. You'll get full Admirals Club Membership for the primary cardholder, plus Admirals Club access for authorized users.

But that doesn't tell the full story!

You'll also get access for two guests plus anyone in your family under the age of 18 as long as you have same-day boarding passes for American Airlines or any oneworld^® airline.

And, your Admiral's Club membership additionally grants you the same access when flying oneworld airlines as follows:

• Domestic and international Admirals Club locations
• All Alaska Airlines Lounges (when departing or arriving on flights marketed and operated by American or Alaska Airlines)
• All Qantas Clubs (when departing or arriving on same-day flights operated by Qantas, or operated by American out of Auckland, New Zealand or Sydney, Australia)
• Select partner lounges operated by third parties (on same-day flights operated by American)

Note that your authorized users get entry only at AA Admiral's Club lounges, but do get guest privileges for immediate family (spouse, domestic partner and/or children under 18) or up to 2 guests. Guests must be accompanied by the eligible authorized user and present boarding pass for same-day travel on American or a partner airline.

The Authorized User must present their credit card and be traveling on any departing or arriving flight that is marketed or operated by American, marketed and operated by any oneworld® airline, or marketed and operated by JetBlue (excluding JetBlue flights operating to and from Europe).
