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.
