Citi/AAdvantage Executive new benefits live: 6 things to do - The Points Guy

The Citi/AAdvantage Executive World Legend Mastercard has been refreshed with new benefits and a higher $695 annual fee (up from $595), and existing cardholders need to take specific steps to maximize the card's value. The article outlines six actionable priorities: use the new $250 semi-annual American Airlines Vacations credit before year-end, enroll in complimentary Omni Champion Status to unlock hotel perks and an annual free night, enroll in Avis President's Club status, use the new $100 annual inflight and Admirals Club statement credit, track progress toward new Loyalty Point milestone bonuses (which now double to 40,000 maximum), and link your Lyft account to access up to $180 in annual credits. Existing cardholders also get limited-time access to a 25% inflight food discount (through September) and Grubhub benefits (through August 2027) before those features are discontinued.

States with Property Tax Exemptions for Veterans — Veterans Benefits Knowledge Base

This comprehensive reference guide catalogues property tax exemptions available to veterans across all U.S. states, territories, and the District of Columbia, with exemptions varying by disability rating, service-connected conditions, and residency requirements. Most exemptions apply only to primary residences and range from modest reductions (like New Jersey's $250 deduction) to substantial ones (Minnesota's $300,000 exemption for totally disabled veterans), with many states offering full exemptions for veterans rated 100% disabled or with total disability/individual unemployability status. The guide excludes exemptions based solely on age or income and those with outdated provisions, noting that individual counties may levy additional taxes and readers should verify details with local assessors.
