Your Citi® / AAdvantage® Executive Mastercard® Just Got a Raise

Melissa Marasco - Aug 23, 2026

Good news for AAdvantage® Executive World Legend Mastercard® cardmembers who ride with us: the Lyft credit you're already earning just got bigger.

Starting this month, Citi® / AAdvantage® Executive World Legend Mastercard® cardmembers earn $15 in Lyft credit every month — up from $10 — just by taking three eligible rides and paying with their eligible card. That's up to $180 a year, automatically applied to future rides. No new enrollment, no extra steps.

The perk you might not know you have

  • Earn $15 in Lyft credit, automatically applied to your next ride
