I’m updating this mid annual-fee card comparison to reflect that since I last did the comparison, United has updated its card and AA has added the AAdvantage Globe Card and the Aviator Silver Card is officially scheduled to be deprecated (and presumably existing card holders will be switched over to the Globe Card). I’m updatingContinue reading “Airline Credit Cards Updated Comparison: mid annual-fee versions (2026 version)”

American Aviator Card
When I posted my series of comparisons of the major US airlines’ credit cards, I mentioned only two Barclays American Airlines cards: the Aviator Red and the Aviator Silver. There are actually two more versions of the Aviator card: the Aviator Blue and simply the Aviator. The focus of this post will be the AviatorContinue reading “American Aviator Card”
American Aviator Blue Card

American Aviator Silver Card
A while ago, I posted a series of comparisons of the major US airlines’ credit cards.

AmericanContinue reading “Airline Credit Cards Updated Comparison: mid annual-fee versions (2024 edition)”
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”
American Airlines Aviator Red Card
A while ago, I posted a series of comparisons of the major US airlines’ credit cards. The “entry-level” ($95 annual fee) comparison had two offerings from American Airlines: one from Citi and one from Barclays, which is the topic of this post. I figured I’d start with the Aviator Red Card because that’s the card that IContinue reading “American Airlines Aviator Red Card”
