ELEVATED OFFER!

welcome offer:

75,000 miles

Earn 75,000 bonus miles when you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first 5 months from account opening.

Annual Fee:

$99

(waived the first year)

  • First checked bag free on domestic American Airlines itineraries for you and up to 4 travel companions on the same reservation
  • Preferred boarding

Even at the standard 65,000 offer,I leave it on this page because it is a good one to get to stock up on AA miles.

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.

65,000 miles is the standard offer on this card. The highest we have seen is 75,000 after spending $6,000 in 6 months. A 75,000 mile offer ended in June 2024. A 75,000 mile offer ended in January 2025.
