What happened
The Citi / AAdvantage Business World Elite Mastercard typically awards Loyalty Points to the authorized user for their spending, not the primary cardholder. However, a limited-time, targeted promotion allows eligible cardholders to 'double dip,' meaning both the primary cardholder and the authorized user earn Loyalty Points for the same spending. This effectively allows two people to earn Loyalty Points toward AAdvantage elite status from a single card. The promotion is valid through December 31, 2026. While it is targeted to 'select' cardmembers and communicated via email, the author notes it has been extended previously and is widely available. Eligibility is not guaranteed for new applicants, but the card's existing perks and welcome bonus remain strong
