I love this card as an easy way to earn AA miles! But be warned: Barclay can make some people jump through a lot of hoops when it comes to getting approved (like sending in paper copies of documents). Also note: Barclay seems to prefer people to be at 6/24 or less and generally approves people for at the most one card from them every 6 months.

This card typically fluctuates between 50,000-70,000 miles as a bonus.
