I’ve got a big update for everyone today! American Airlines and Citi have just announced their newest credit card: the Globe Card. This card is likely intended to replace the Aviator Silver Card that currently exists at Barclays (but can’t be directly applied for) when all those accounts transfer over to Citi next year sometime.Continue reading “American AAdvantage Globe Card”

American AAdvantage Business Card
It’s been a while since I did a credit card post, but there’s one final American Airlines credit card to mention. The AAdvantage Business Card is AA’s small business credit card and is very similar to the AA Platinum Select Card. This card offers entry-level perks without a high annual fee for a small businessContinue reading “American AAdvantage Business Card”
American MileUp Card
Next in the series of comparisons of the major US airlines’ credit cards comes the United Gateway Card. This card sits at the lower end of United’s credit card line-up, offering minimal perks but no annual fee. This card competes with the Delta Blue Card and the United Gateway Card. I imagine this card primarilyContinue reading “American MileUp Card”
American AAdvantage Platinum Select Card
Next in the series of comparisons of the major US airlines’ credit cards comes the United MileagePlus Explorer card. This card sits as a middle card, offering entry-level perks without a high annual fee. This card competes with the Delta Gold Card and the United Explorer Card. This card is largely comparable to the American Aviator Red Card butContinue reading “American AAdvantage Platinum Select Card”
American AAdvantage Executive Card
Following up on the series of comparisons of the major US airlines’ credit cards, we’re jumping to one of the top-tier cards: The American Executive Card from Citibank. This card competes with the Delta Reserve Card and the MileagePlus Club Card. Unlike Delta and United, all American Airlines credit cards earn points toward status at theContinue reading “American AAdvantage Executive Card”
Airline Credit Cards Updated Comparison: low annual-fee versions
Now that we’ve gone through the free airline cards again, it’s time for the mid-level cards, those with an annual fee of around $100. Like last time, I’m going to ignore one American Airlines card, which is the Aviator Blue card. This card has a reduced $49 annual fee, and so doesn’t quite match theseContinue reading “Airline Credit Cards Updated Comparison: low annual-fee versions”
Airline Credit Cards Updated Comparison: free versions
It’s been a while since I did a credit card post, so I decided to go through and update the rankings for the US legacy carriers’ cards. I did the club card edition when American completely revamped its club card, and in that update, I also changed how the scoring system worked, so I’m goingContinue reading “Airline Credit Cards Updated Comparison: free versions”
Airline co-branded cards: top-tier club cards: updated!
This post is an update on a post from a year ago covering top-tier airline credit cards. All three airlines have changed how these cards earn status qualification metrics since that post in 2022, but specifically, Citi/American has thoroughly updated its AAdvantage Executive card, so I wanted to redo this comparison before doing deep divesContinue reading “Airline co-branded cards: top-tier club cards: updated!”
Citi Custom Cash
It’s been a while since I talked about any Citi credit cards, so I wanted to bring up one that Citi has recently been sending me offers for: the Citi Custom Cash card. This card competes with the DiscoverIt and Chase Freedom Flex cards that offer 5% cash back in rotating categories each quarter andContinue reading “Citi Custom Cash”
Airline co-branded cards: top-tier (club cards– 2022 outdated edition)
The final set of airline co-branded cards to investigate are the top tier cards. These cards all offer a key perk: airline club access. They also all have high annual fees ($450+), but the annual fee is consistently lower than buying a club membership. So, off the bat, if you would independently buy a clubContinue reading “Airline co-branded cards: top-tier (club cards– 2022 outdated edition)”
