Mini-news update: Citi AAdvantage Facebook Promotion and a Congratulatory Note

Before you read about the BankDirect offer I wrote for today, I just wanted to mention two items that may be of interest to some readers.

Over at the AAdvantage milepoint forum a tip of the hat goes out to rharrigill for posting this item on Wednesday:

AAdvantage just posted on their Facebook page:

“Hey Citi/AAdvantage credit cardmembers, be sure to check back about this time tomorrow – 8/18/11 – for a special promotion!”

So don’t forget to check out the AAdvantage facebook page later today.

Also, for many (myself included) it just got a little tougher to score a first class upgrade now that Mike Reed over at Chasing Executive Platinum has just finished earning the 100,000 Elite Qualifying Miles he needed in order to attain AAdvantage Executive Platinum status.

I’ve been following his blog all year and now that he’s pretty much will become a permanent resident of rows one through six, I to just wanted to say congratulations!
