If you hold the Citi / AAdvantage Executive World Legend Mastercard, the benefit applies to you [[1]](https://travelbinger.com/citi-adds-200-dining-credit-to-aadvantage-executive-card).

Citi has described the dining credit as a permanent feature rather than a temporary promotion [[1]](https://travelbinger.com/citi-adds-200-dining-credit-to-aadvantage-executive-card). The perk is ongoing and has no published end date as of the article's writing [[2]](https://onemileatatime.com/news/citi-aadvantage-executive-card-inkind-dining-credit/). ## How to redeem it Cardmembers must first download the InKind app and register [[2]](https://onemileatatime.com/news/citi-aadvantage-executive-card-inkind-dining-credit/). Next, they add the Citi AAdvantage Executive Card as a payment method in their InKind profile, after which a new section referencing the benefit appears in the app [[2]](https://onemileatatime.com/news/citi-aadvantage-executive-card-inkind-dining-credit/). Cardholders must add their AAdvantage Executive card to an inKind account and pay through the app at participating restaurants, bars, or cafes to redeem the credit [[1]](https://travelbinger.com/citi-adds-200-dining-credit-to-aadvantage-executive-card). To receive the credit, cardholders pay through the InKind app with the linked card at a participating InKind restaurant, and the credit is then issued [[2]](https://onemileatatime.com/news/citi-aadvantage-executive-card-inkind-dining-credit/).

Any unused portion carries forward within its six-month window [[1]](https://travelbinger.com/citi-adds-200-dining-credit-to-aadvantage-executive-card). The credit cannot cover gratuities, fees, or service charges [[1]](https://travelbinger.com/citi-adds-200-dining-credit-to-aadvantage-executive-card). It also cannot be combined with inKind cash on the same transaction [[1]](https://travelbinger.com/citi-adds-200-dining-credit-to-aadvantage-executive-card). ## What this means for you If you hold the Citi / AAdvantage Executive card, the dining credit is available now, and using the full amount offsets nearly 30 percent of the $695 annual fee [[1]](https://travelbinger.com/citi-adds-200-dining-credit-to-aadvantage-executive-card) [[2]](https://onemileatatime.com/news/citi-aadvantage-executive-card-inkind-dining-credit/) [[1]](https://travelbinger.com/citi-adds-200-dining-credit-to-aadvantage-executive-card).

If you share the account with authorized users, remember that the total is shared across the account [[1]](https://travelbinger.com/citi-adds-200-dining-credit-to-aadvantage-executive-card). Budget for tips and any fees separately, since the credit does not cover them [[1]](https://travelbinger.com/citi-adds-200-dining-credit-to-aadvantage-executive-card). The card also offers an Admirals Club membership for the primary member [[2]](https://onemileatatime.com/news/citi-aadvantage-executive-card-inkind-dining-credit/). ## Sources 1.
