You get the Citi AA Platinum select, with the 50K AA miles bonus and no AF for the first year, then downgrade after Y1 to the Double Cash...;-)

The Premier is a better daily earner. And the Silver card is good for the benefits but not for daily earnings. I would actually say because of Citi’s great product change rules, I would convert it to a Double Cash or Custom Cash card. No fee, keeps history with Citi and an account with them.

I hadn't thought much about AA cards but I may be traveling with them more often in the future so this could be useful information. Though for the most part these don't seem like good long term cards with the annual fees. Some of the credits are nice, but for the most part they're for overpriced things I wouldn't pay full value for. Still, it may be worth churning them for the year 1 bonuses and then using the benefits for that year. Thanks for the useful information.

I'll be booking an American Airlines flight through British Airways next week so I can cover some of the cost with Avios points I transferred but I have a question about which card I should use. Since the flight is American and I have the AAdvantage Aviator Silver card that has 3x on AA flights, free checked bag, etc., I'd like to use that card but I'm not sure I'd get all those benefits since I'll be booking with British Airways and not American directly. I have Amex Gold, Chase Sapphire Preferred, and CapOne Venture X as alternatives. Just trying to figure out which would be the best one to pay with. Or does using Avios points negate all benefits entirely?

I was never a big fan of Citi because they were the first bank that ever declined my application back in the college. Three months ago I received a mail offer for 60K so I decided to give Citi another shot. One thing I confirmed with Citi customer service is that you have to book flight with the card to have free check bags, unlike Amex Delta cards where flights can be booked with any card.

Being an advantage member is free. You can link any MasterCard (Debit or Credit)to account and get miles. There is also simply miles program which is like shopping and advantage dining. So you don't need the credit cards but they do add on plus with what you get already with the card so it's good. I do believe the executive card earns more than what he said. I would look at website to be sure

I think you missed a couple of points. The value of cards can in large part be valued by which airline has a hub where you live. In other words, if I lived near DFW and flew more than once or twice a year might mean lounge access takes on much greater value. I also believe that valuing the points at only 1¢ per mile is low. Either directly at AA or through transfer partners (One World Alliance) I get a minimum of 1.4¢ per mile. I’ve received as high as 12¢ per mile pretty easily. But for domestic travel on AA you should get at least 1.4¢ Great video overall and a very good comparison. Thank you for all your efforts.
