Access with a Citi/AAdvantage Executive Card
The Citi® / AAdvantage® Executive World Elite Mastercard® is the only credit card that can get you into the American Airlines Admirals Club lounges. This card includes an Admirals Club membership, which allows you to bring your immediate family or up to two guests. Cardholders must show their physical credit card for lounge entry.
The card has an annual fee of $595, which is less than the cost of an annual Admirals Club membership. Each authorized user costs $175 but comes with an Admirals Club membership. However, partner lounge access is only available to the primary cardholder. Authorized users can access Admirals Clubs whether the primary cardholder is flying with them or not, a perk that differs from similar premium cards offered by other US carriers.
The card also offers a range of other benefits, such as priority check-in, screening, and boarding when flying with American Airlines, and a free first checked bag on domestic American Airlines itineraries for you and up to eight travel companions on the same reservation, saving up to $720 per round trip. Cardholders also save 25% on inflight food and beverage purchases on American Airlines flights when using the card. There are also no foreign transaction fees.

Cardholders can also earn up to $120 in statement credits every calendar year when eligible prepaid car rentals are booked directly on Avis.com or Budget.com.
