The AAdvantage Aviator Business Card sign-up bonus just increased from 40,000 to 50,000. I believe this is the highest public offer ever for this credit card. This is one of the best sign-up bonuses available due to how easy it is to obtain because all you have to do is make a single purchase on your credit card. 

Update: Some offers are no longer available — click here for the latest deals!

Also the Hawaiian and JetBlue Business credit cards have also increased as shown below.

AAdvantage Aviator Business Card offer

  • Earn 50,000 AAdvantage miles after your first purchase in the first 90 days
  • 2X miles on AA purchases and office supply, telecom and car rental merchants
  • First checked bag free for the primary cardmember and up to 4 companions on eligible bags when traveling on domestic itineraries operated by American Airlines
  • Preferred boarding for the primary cardmember and up to 4 companions on their reservation
  • Earn $3,000 Elite Qualifying Dollars after spending $25,000 on purchases each calendar year
  • 25% inflight savings on food, beverages, and headsets on American Airlines-operated flights
  • Reduced mileage awards
  • Companion certificate good for 1 guest at $99, issued each year after your account anniversary when you spend $30,000 or more on eligible purchases 
  • 5% AAdvantage® mileage bonus earned every year after your account anniversary date based on the total number of miles earned using your card
  • No foreign transaction fees
  • Chip and Pin technology (great for Europe)
  • Annual fee $95 (not waived)

50,000 miles can put you in great position to start redeeming for some excellent products. If you stack this with other AA credit cards you can quickly be on your way to some great redemptions on partners like Etihad and Qatar. Keep in mind that the personal card is at 50,000 but often offers 60,000 points as a bonus so you might want to hold off until that bonus returns if you don’t want to apply for multiple Barclaycards or don’t have a business.

If you combined this offer with another AA sign-up bonus of 60,000 miles or got matched to 75,000 miles, you’d be a step closer to making some great redemptions such as:

  • One way in the first class Etihad Apartment at 115,000
  • Roundtrip business class to Europe at 115,000
  • Etihad or Qatar business class roundtrip to or from the Middle East at 140,000
  • Cathay Pacific business class roundtrip to Asia at 140,000
  • Roundtrip in business class to Africa at 150,000
  • Two roundtrip business class tickets to Hawaii at 160,000

The Hawaiian Airlines® Business Mastercard® has also increased to 40,000 miles but I don’t really care about that one and you probably don’t either.

The JetBlue Business card has also increased to 40,000.
