Having a quiet place to relax (or work) while enjoying complimentary food and drinks makes a big difference in my travel happiness. And I think it’s even more important when I have my wife and 9-year-old daughter in tow. That’s a major reason why I got the [Citi® / AAdvantage® Executive World Elite Mastercard®]( several years ago — and have kept it ever since. It’s the only card that provides a [complimentary Admirals Club membership]( (an $850 value), which allows me to enter all Admirals Clubs when traveling on American Airlines and its partner airlines. I can also bring in two guests or my immediate family (defined as a spouse or partner and children under the age of 18). Even better? Authorized users also get lounge access when flying American and its partners, with the same guest privileges. And you can add three authorized users for an additional $175 annual fee. American has been investing heavily in its lounge experience in recent years. I had the chance to visit the [stunning Admirals Club]( at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) last month, and two more opened last year — at Denver International Airport (DEN) and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) — with the carrier’s new design concept. Think fireplaces, dark wood paneling and enhanced menu offerings for guests. Now is a perfect time to pick up the card, since it’s offering a [best-ever welcome bonus]( of [100,000 AAdvantage bonus miles]( after you spend $10,000 within the first three months of account opening. Based on TPG's June 2024 [valuations]( this bonus is worth $1,700 — but could be worth even more if you [maximize your AAdvantage redemptions](. This best-ever offer is only around for a limited time, so if you’re thinking about adding this card to your wallet, [act fast](.
