That said, I’m still trying to learn the in’s and out’s. I see that they offer additional miles for tons of vendors online if you click the link and order through it. I’ve done a couple but my question is – where do I see those bonus amounts show up? I know it said can take multiple cycles – do you find that to be true? I think I’ve been spoiled with the Chase % back rewards (they seem almost instant) and I’m probably just not being patient.
Same, mine is higher than our brand new car loan.
Y'all are influencers. I just applied for it and got it. I have a bunch of old AA miles and struggle to use them, so why not get more?
We can't earn enough AA miles. We have used them to fly home from Paris, to Japan in J, and Qatar Suites. Plus to Mexico to visit my grandparents several times.
I think I've gotten pretty much everyone in my family to sign up for this card in the past few months, lol. I wish I had gotten mine earlier than last year so I could cancel it and get another...
I need to learn how you do it. Normally when I check I can't find anything good, plus we used Avios for Japan because we already had them sitting there and we could book a few weeks earlier through BA than through AA. Looks like I need to do a lot more research into AA.
Living near a hub really helps! I can find fantastic deals for domestic flights from CLT. With a 70k SUB, for example, we were able to book 2 roundtrip flights to Dominican Republic, 2 roundtrip to Bozeman/Jackson for a Yellowstone trip, and 2 roundtrip to Grand Junction, CO for a Moab UT trip. And we still have 24k miles left which will get us at least 2 more roundtrip flights, probably use them for Orlando or Chicago. We'll be using our next round of AA miles to fly home from Vietnam next year, with a layover in Japan.
this is my problem, they fly so few places direct from MSP that they are hard to use.
applied for P2, not approved. Your application is being reviewed. Is that a kiss of death with Barclays?
Now do I put myself 3/24 and try for one myself?
Applied and got "your application is under review" message. Guess I will wait and see if I get approved!
Interesting how three of us in a row got this.
i tried thru edge and firefox for dh's aplication. errorsDarn it!!
I had FOFO and decided to pull the trigger. No approval. My application is being reviewed.
I suspect it is because I just applied for the JetBlue Barclay card last week and then gave my in obscene CL. I haven't even received that first card yet!
Any chance or DP on calling for recon? Or do I need to wait for snail mail? They stated that I should hear in 10 days...
I have been thinking the same thing about lack of good options.
I may jump on this AA Barclay train too. I've never thought about AA miles, but a family member in Dallas is having a baby in Jan and I hope to visit frequently. There are several nonstops per day from my home airport. If I don't use them all for that, it sounds like they are valuable for partner airlines.
Great recommendation. I love my Aspire!
Citi does face a no AF AA card
Not sure what TC means but tickets from undercover tourist code as travel and those from Disney show as entertainment
Math looks correct to me. If the business is paying I would go with option #2 to end up with 59,250 (1,090 from purchase and 58,160 from not redeeming them)
