My Take

This is a great card for earning AA miles — which I love in particular for international flights. It’s not a card I keep long term (though you might want to if you find the free bags helpful). I usually get it every 48 months as the terms allow. I generally wait for an offer of 65,000 miles or higher.

You’ll find AA mentioned as a sweet spot on almost all of our regional guides like Japan, SouthEast Asia, and Africa.

Offers vary and sometimes include statement credits. The standard bonus is 60,000 miles.

The highest ever offer was 80,000 miles from July 2025-September 30, 2025.
