Citi Adds $200 in Dining Credits to Its Recently Refreshed AAdvantage Executive Card

Citi just added another perk to its top American Airlines credit card. And this one has nothing to do with flying.

As of October 25, 2026, Citi / AAdvantage Executive World Legend Mastercard cardholders can get up to $200 annually in dining credits through the inKind app.

The credit is split into two $100 semiannual allotments — one from January through June and another from July through December. And the good news for existing cardholders (or prospective cardholders who apply by the end of the year) is that the current $100 credit is already available through the end of 2026.

How the Credit Works

inKind is a dining platform with several thousand restaurants, bars, and cafes in its U.S. network. The new credit works a bit like a gift card you can use at participating establishments.

To use the benefit, download the inKind app and add your eligible AAdvantage Executive card. The credit will then apply automatically to qualifying purchases.

Note that primary cardmembers and authorized users share the same $100 semiannual credit, and unused credits don’t roll over to the next six-month period.

So it’s a use-it-or-lose-it type of benefit.

How We Got Here

The new dining credit comes just two months after Citi refreshed the AAdvantage Executive card in August. Those changes included renaming it a World Legend Mastercard (an upgrade from its previous World Elite Mastercard designation) and increasing its annual fee from $595 to $695.

That refresh also introduced several new benefits, including up to $500 in American Airlines Vacations credits, up to $100 in statement credits for inflight and eligible Admirals Club purchases, and an increase in annual Lyft credits from $120 to $180.

It also added 12X miles on eligible AAdvantage Hotels and AAdvantage Cars bookings, the ability to earn up to 40,000 bonus Loyalty Points, Omni Hotels Champion status with an annual free night after a qualifying stay, and complimentary Avis President’s Club status.

Unlike the August refresh, though, the new inKind benefit doesn’t come with another annual fee increase. It’s simply an additional perk for AAdvantage Executive cardholders.
