A lot of credit cards offer a companion certificates or companion pass opportunities. Some of these are issued on an annual basis automatically but others require you to earn them with a bit of spend.
The Barclays Aviator companion certificate is one of those that you have to earn with your hard-earned spend. In this article, I will tell you everything you need to know about this companion certificate, including whether or not it is worth it.
What is the Barclays Aviator companion certificate?
The Barclays Aviator companion certificate is a special perk you can earn by putting enough spend on a Barclays aviator credit card. The certificates come in different forms depending on the type of card that you have:

Is the Aviator companion certificate worth it?
$20,000 is a lot and spend for many people so you want to make sure that you are putting your spend to good use for this perk.
Since this is a companion certificate, you obviously net more value by purchasing a more expensive fare.
A good way to analyze your value proposition is to consider the $99 fee plus the taxes and fees which may average around $130.
So to break even you basically want to purchase a ticket that is more expensive than $130 which should not be very difficult to do since you can use this for roundtrips.
For many card members, it’s not very difficult to get a couple of hundred dollars in value from this perk by purchasing a ticket between $300 and $500. For many domestic roundtrips in economy, that is probably a nice sweet spot to shoot for.
Note: the terms do exclude the most expensive economy fare classes.
Remember that the annual fee for the Aviator Red is $99 so if you were trying to offset that annual fee, you would need to purchase a ticket for at least ~$230. Again, that is not a very challenging task which is why this benefit allows these cards to be “keeper cards” for people who fly American Airlines.
Aviator companion certificate rules
Spend requirement
The $20,000 (or $30,000) in spend needs to be met during your account anniversary year (not calendar year) and the terms state that your account must remain open for at least 45 days after the anniversary date. As long as you meet those two requirements, you will be good to go.
Receiving the companion certificate
The terms also state to allow 8 to 10 weeks for the delivery of the certificate. This is on top of the 45 days you will be waiting after your anniversary date, so it could take a little while for your certificate to arrive after your anniversary date.
Don’t be surprised if it takes about two months from your account anniversary date for the perk to appear.
Your companion certificate should arrive in an email and the snail mail and it will provide you with directions on how to book.
Domestic routes in economy class
The companion certificate must be used on domestic routes only. Also, it is only valid for economy class fares. So if you want to experience American Airlines first class, this certificate won’t help you out there.
If you happen to be a resident of Alaska or Hawaii, the eligible travel is defined as a round-trip originating in either Alaska or Hawaii and continuing to the lower 48.
$99 minimum payment
When you use the companion certificate, you will have to pay $99 for the companion ticket plus any taxes and fees. Typically, these fees will range between $21 and $43 so be prepared to shell out a bit more cash for the ticket.
Eligible travel is defined as travel within the lower 48 (contiguous United States) but see the Hawaii and Alaska exception above.
The flights will need to be marketed and operated by American Airlines or marked it by American Airlines and operated by one of the following:
Compass Airlines
Envoy Air
Republic Airline
SkyWest Airlines
Mesa Airlines
PSA Airlines
Piedmont Airlines, Inc.
Note: the certificate is not available for travel on codeshare flights booked with an American Airlines flight number but operated by another airline.
Blackout dates
One drawback to this perk is that you may have to contend with black out dates when booking. You can check out the prior blackout dates below that were found (among other helpful details) via middleagemiles.

2020: Jan 1-3; Feb 14-18; Mar 6-9; Mar 13-16; Mar 20-23; May 22-26; Jun 30; Jul 1-6; Nov 25-30; Dec 12-23; Dec 27-31
Upgrades
Upgrades are not allowed per the terms of the certificate. However, some have had success getting upgraded with elite status. This may not be the norm but you can certainly give it a try with the gate agent and you might have some luck.
14 days in advance
You will have to book your flights using your companion certificate at least 14 days prior to your departure.
You will also have to mail in forms which will need to be received seven days before your departure so slackers be warned, this is not a perk that you want to wait until the last minute to use.
Expiration
The companion certificate will be valid one year from the issue date. This means that you must make your booking and complete your travel by the expiration date. Once your companion certificate arrives, you should be able to view the travel expiration date.
Cancellations
One of the biggest drawbacks to this perk is that if you use the certificate and then cancel your flight, you will not be able to get your certificate replaced. So you need to be extremely careful when making a reservation.
How to book the companion certificate
When you receive your email, you will see the American Airlines meeting services phone number which is 800–433–1790.
You will need to have all of your reservation details on hand when you call this number including your flight details, AAdvantage number, and your companion certificate number.
As soon as you make a reservation, you need to mail in your companion certificate within the required time frame. American Airlines will need to receive this signed certificate within 14 days of your phone booking. If you fail to mail it in, your flight will not be ticketed.
(The agent on the phone should provide you with the address to send the certificate to.)
After you send off your certificate, be on the lookout in your email inbox for your eTicket.
FAQ
Do I have to use my American Airlines credit card to book?
Yes, you must pay for your tickets with the credit card that you earned the companion certificate with.
Will companions earn miles or elite credits on the flight?
The terms state that you will not earn miles or elite credits on the flight but in practice some people have earned both redeemable miles and elite qualifying miles.
Can I upgrade my ticket when using the certificate?
The terms and conditions state upgrades are prohibited but in practice some people have had success with obtaining upgrades. Your mileage may vary in this area.
When does the Aviator companion certificate expire?
The companion certificate will expire one year from issuance and the date of issuance will often be around two months from your anniversary date.
Can I use the companion certificate for basic economy fares?
No, basic economy fares are excluded.
Final word
This perk is a great way to offset the annual fee and to come out on top in terms of value. If you can book tickets of $200 or more, you can completely offset the annual fee and make up for the fees associated with this perk.
The major drawback to this perk is that it does require you to jump through some hoops for the booking and is a bit old-fashioned with forcing you to mail in a physical signed certificate.
But if you can deal with a little bit of legwork, this can be an awesome benefit to use every year.

Barclays Aviator Red Review [2021]
There are some co-branded airline credit cards that I believe everybody should seriously consider. The AAdvantage Aviator Red from Barclays is definitely one of these credit cards. The reason I am so big on this card is that it offers a lot of bang for buck and also it is perfect for people who may struggle to meet minimum spend requirements when stretching themselves thin.
In this review article, I will break down everything you need to know about the AAdvantage Aviator Red.
AAdvantage Aviator Red Overview
Lucrative welcome bonus usually offered
2X on AA purchases
First checked bag free
Anniversary Companion Certificate
Flight Cents
Preferred boarding
Reduced mileage awards
$25 back on wifi
25% discount on in-flight purchases
$99 annual fee

Welcome bonus
For several years, the Aviator Red has been a favorite travel credit card for people who don’t want to put a lot of spend on a credit card to achieve a bonus. Typically, you can earn the bonus for this card by simply making a single purchase on your card within 90 days of opening.
That’s pretty amazing considering that this card can come with some very lucrative bonuses such as 60,000 miles. 60K is the best standard public offer we’ve seen but I’d argue this card is worth it even at 50K, just because how easy it is to earn.
It’s almost like paying $99 (the annual fee) for 50,000 or 60,000 miles.
If you were to time up the bonuses well, you could potentially score 120,000+ miles in one swoop. And because the welcome bonus is so easy to obtain for the Aviator Red, this is one of the easiest ways to net over 100,000 miles in quick fashion.
Stacking bonuses is a pretty strategic move because American Airlines is not currently a transfer partner of any of the major transfer programs associated with large banks such as American Express, Chase, or Citibank.

Bonus categories
2X on AA purchases
1X on all other purchases
The bonus categories on the Aviator Red are extremely vanilla.
Earning double the points on American Airlines is expected and nothing too special. If you value American Airlines miles at 1.37 cents per mile then 2X comes out to 2.74% back. I think they could definitely improve this card by adding some interesting new bonus categories.
2X on AA purchases is nice but that’s about as good as the bonus categories get.
Airline benefits
First checked bag free
You can get a free checked bag for you and up to four companions on domestic itineraries operated by American Airlines.
For this benefit to apply, the card must be open 7 days prior to air travel, and the reservation must include the primary cardmember’s AAdvantage Account number 7 days prior to air travel.
Something worth noting is that you do not have to use your card on your airfare in order to receive this benefit. So if you have a credit card with better trip insurance, you can still use that to cover your flight.
This perk alone will justify the annual fee for a lot of people who frequently fly American Airlines, as is often the case with co-branded airline credit cards.
The only drawback to this perk is that it does NOT cover international trips. Some international routes will actually give you a free checked bag so that is not a dealbreaker but it is something that is distinguished from competitor cards like the United Explorer Card.
Anniversary Companion Certificate
Every anniversary year you can earn a $99 domestic economy fare companion certificate if you spend $20,000 and keep your account open for at least 45 days after the anniversary date.
For many card members, it’s not very difficult to get a couple of hundred dollars in value from this perk by purchasing a ticket between $300 and $500. So that’s decent value but $20,000 in spend for a $99 companion certificate is a high amount of spend in my opinion.
I like to compare the spend bonuses to other cards to get a sense of the relative value you might be missing out on. You could spend $15,000 on a Hilton Surpass and earn a free night that could cover a property going for hundreds or even $1,000 a night. So that is less spend and likely more value potential. Just something to think about.
Flight Cents
Flight Cents is a way to earn additional American Airlines miles by rounding up your Aviator credit card purchases to the nearest whole dollar. For each cent that is rounded up, you’ll automatically purchase half an AAdvantage mile up to a certain threshold. So basically you are purchasing miles for two cents per mile.
I think Flight Cents is an interesting benefit. It’s not the most lucrative way to earn AA miles but it can be significantly cheaper than purchasing them outright. The way the perk works is a little bit confusing so I would recommend reading my guide on Flight Cents here.
Preferred boarding
You can also get preferred boarding for you and up to four companions when flying on American Airlines operated flights.
I think the biggest thing to note here is that “preferred boarding” is not the same as “priority boarding.” Priority boarding includes groups one through four. Meanwhile, preferred boarding is in group 5.
Despite that, you will still be among the first to enter the aircraft in main cabin so it can be helpful when trying to secure your overhead storage bin space. You can find out more about the American Airlines boarding process here.

Reduced mileage awards
Reduced mileage awards are special discounts on American Airlines MileSAAver awards to select destinations that are available to some American Airlines co-branded credit card holders.
These discounts allow you to save thousands of miles on redemptions, which can knock down the price of a flight from 12,500 miles to 8,750 miles. This can be a great way to save on miles but just be aware that sometimes “Web Specials” can be cheaper than the MileSAAver awards with the reduced mileage award discount.
$25 back on wifi
Every anniversary year you can get $25 back as statement credits on inflight Wi-Fi purchases. This is a great way to offset 25% of the annual fee.
25% Statement Credit
You can get a 25% savings as a statement credit on eligible inflight food and beverage purchases when purchased using your card. These savings do not apply to any other inflight purchases, such as wireless internet access or inflight entertainment.
Aviator Red FAQ
What is the annual fee for the Aviator Red?
The annual fee is $99.
Is the annual fee waived for the Aviator Red?
No, the annual fee is not waived the first year.
Do you get free checked bags with the Aviator Red?
Yes, you can get a free checked bag for you and up to four companions on domestic itineraries.
Do you get Admiral’s Club access with the Aviator Red?
No, you do not get lounge access with the Aviator Red.
Final word
I’ve been a big fan of the Aviator Red card ever since it was introduced. I love how easy the bonus is to earn and that the bonus is also usually very lucrative.
The bonus categories are definitely nothing special on this card but there are some pretty decent perks that allow you to offset the annual fee. If you fly American Airlines on even a semi-regular basis this card could be worth holding on to for the long run.

New Barclays Aviator Companion Pass 60K Offer
The Aviator card from Barclays is one of the best travel cards for racking up miles in a hurry. That’s because it comes with a 60,000 miles bonus simply after making a single purchase within 90 days (although there is a $99 annual fee that’s not waived).
Even with the annual fee this is a great deal, but there’s also a companion pass perk that many aren’t aware of since it’s newer and not as highly publicized as the 60,000 point bonus. In this article, I’ll tell you everything you need to know about the companion pass offer here.
Barclays Aviator perks
60K miles after single purchase within 90 days
2X on AA purchases
Companion Pass after single purchase and annual spend
Free checked bag on domestic flights for up to four companions
Preferred Boarding for up to four companions (Group 5)
Anniversary $25 Wi-Fi Credit
Flight Cents
Reduced Mileage Awards
25% Statement Credit for Inflight Purchases
Some of these perks can be very valuable like free checked bags for up to four companions and preferred boarding (which virtually guarantees you overhead storage bin space). But in this article, I’ll focus on the companion pass perk and tell you how to earn it and how much value you can expect to get.

What is the Aviator companion pass?
The Aviator companion pass is a special perk that allows a companion to fly with you on a roundtrip economy ticket after only paying $99 + taxes and fees. Government taxes and fees range between $21.60 and $43.20 so you’re usually looking at total fees of about $130 for the roundtrip companion ticket. That sounds high but if the air fare is round $400+, that’s some pretty good savings.
You’ll get a companion pass certificate after you make a purchase within 90 days of signing up and then an additional companion pass each year if you meet the spending requirement. I’ll talk about each of these below.
Intro companion pass
You’ll earn the intro companion pass after making a single purchase within 90 days of opening up your card. This companion pass is in addition to the sign-up bonus, so it’s a pretty valuable deal considering the average value of the companion pass perk is around $300 (according to American Airlines flight attendants).
After you make the purchase Barclays states to allow 8-10 weeks for delivery of the Companion Certificate after the qualifying purchase has posted to your card account and the annual fee has been paid in full. In reality, this pass could hit your account much sooner so just be on the lookout for it.
Anniversary companion pass
The anniversary companion pass is much different from the intro offer because you’ll have to put down a good amount of spend to get it. To get the companion pass every year, you’ll need to spend $20,000 or more in eligible purchases during the cardmember year (each 12-month period through and including your Card Account anniversary month). Also, your account will need to be open for at least 45 days after the anniversary date.
I’m personally not a huge fan of spending $20K for a simple companion pass for a couple of reasons. First of all, I’d much rather put spend on a card like the Sapphire Preferred or Sapphire Reserve to earn up to 3X on my travel/dining purchases and also put spend on something like the Gold Card or Blue Business Plus from Amex to rack up points on supermarkets (4x) and non-bonuses spend (2X).
Second, I’d rather pursue Hilton free nights for $15K worth of spend with cards like the Ascend, since I’d get more value from those (usually $400+). In the end, these types of bonuses are highly specific to your needs so I’m not saying it’s never worth it — just make sure you’re aware of the alternatives (especially if they include hitting other sign-up bonuses).
American Airlines Main Cabin Extra.
Companion Pass rules
The Companion Certificate will be valid one year from the issue date. Companion Certificate eligible travel is defined as travel on flights within the 48 contiguous United States, on flights marketed and operated by:
American Airlines,
or on flights marketed by American Airlines and operated by Compass Airlines, LLC
Envoy Air Inc.
Republic Airline Inc.
SkyWest Airlines, Inc.
Mesa Airlines, Inc.
PSA Airlines, Inc.
or Piedmont Airlines, Inc.
For residents of Alaska and Hawaii, Companion Certificate eligible travel is defined as round-trip travel originating in either of those two states and continuing to the 48 contiguous United States.

Should you get the card now?
There are a couple of things to consider here. The first is that Citi also offers American Airlines cards (usually with the annual fee waived), so it’s often a good idea to stack these cards together (you can get both). Citi is moving to a 48 month rule so you’ll only be able to get a bonus for a card every four years (subject to exceptions like potential targeted offers), so you’ll want to account for that change with your credit card strategy.
5/24 and alternatives
Another thing to consider is your 5/24 status. If you are under 5/24 (you have NOT opened up five accounts in the past 24 months) then the smartest credit card strategy will likely be to first jump on some of the best Chase cards.
For many people, it would make much more sense to jump the 60,000 point offer for the Chase Sapphire Preferred. Or you might even go for a card like the Chase Ink Preferred with its ultra-high 80,000 point offer. The Sapphire Reserve and Chase Ink Cash could be great options as well. Aside from having great bonuses and bonus earning potential these cards are worth looking at because you can’t get approved for these cards if you’ve opened up five or more accounts in the past 24 months.
6/24
The Aviator card will always be around and so there’s really no rush for this card, especially if you’re under 5/24. Barcalys has imposed their version of the 5/24 rule at times but it’s known as the “6/24 rule.” This is not enforced as stringently as the Chase rule though so it’s more of a soft rule. But still, if you’re really interested in the Aviator, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to go for the Aviator right after hitting 5/24.
Final word
I’ve always loved the Aviator and I really like that it comes with the companion pass now along with the high bonus of 60K. The annual fee is not waived so you’ll have to consider that but the bigger factor is that you don’t want to fill in a 5/24 slot with this card in most cases since you can always pick up this card after your 5/24 slots are filled.

Aviator Red Sign-up Bonus Drops to 50K
As expected, Barclaycard just brought down the sign-up bonus of the AAdvantage® Aviator™ Red World Elite Mastercard® from 60,000 to 50,000. This is still 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. But if you don’t have a need to jump on the card right now it’s probably best to hold off until the higher offer returns.
Note that the Citi cards just dropped from 60,000 to 30,000 but you can still find a 50,000 offer. Read more about that here.
AAdvantage Aviator offer
Earn 50,000 AAdvantage miles after your first purchase.
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 savingson food, beverages, and headsets on American Airlines-operated flights
10% of your redeemed miles back on redemptions (up to 10,000 miles per calendar year)
$100 American Airlines Flight Discount after you spend $30,000 or more in Purchases on your Account during your card membership year
Reduced Mileage Awards — Fly to great destinations on American Airlines operated flights for up to 7,500 fewer AAdvantage® miles for flights in the US and to/from Canada
No foreign transaction fees
Chip and Pin technology (great for Europe)
Annual fee $95 (not waived)
Sign-up bonus
Not many cards offer a sign-up bonus for simply making a purchase and for those that do, it’s rarer to find such a lucrative sign-up bonus at 50,000 miles.
The Etihad First Class Apartment.
Annual fee
$95
This annual fee is not waived unlike the Citi Platinum Select which waives its $95 annual fee the first year. So you’re essentially paying $95 for 50,000 AAdvantage miles, which is a deal that I would take any day.
Hard pull
Barclaycard sometimes only pulls from Transunion (although not always) so this is a great way to give your Experian and/or Equifax credit report (just remember YMMV).
Barclaycard can combine inquiries but your second application may go to pending and you will probably have to recon on that app, so if you don’t want to deal with a reconsideration call then maybe consider waiting a few days to a week to apply for a second card and missing out on the combined hard pull. Otherwise, give it a shot.
Final word
This is still a solid credit card offer for the Aviator Red. I would personally wait until I’m above 5/24 to apply since this offer will be around for a while and even if you miss it, it will likely be back.

AA Credit Cards: Which American Airlines Credit Card is Best? [2018]
You might be surprised to find out that there are many American Airlines AAdvantage credit cards (“AA credit cards”). In fact, there are a total of 14 different types of AA credit cards out there. However, you can only apply for about a handful of them. This article will take a look at all of the different options you have for earning AA miles via credit cards.
To make things simple, I’m going to first cover the different AA credit cards that you can apply for and then discuss some of the alternative cards that you can downgrade, upgrade, or product change to. If you’re interested in learning how to use AA miles on special sweet spots then click here.
In this article, you will see AA cards issued by both Barclaycard and Citibank.
Pay special attention to which bank issues each card. You need to know that Citibank restricts you to one sign-up bonus per 24 months per brand. This means that once you get one AA Citi sign-up bonus, you can’t get another one from Citi for 24 months.
There are two exceptions to this.
You can still get the sign-up bonus from both the personal and the business credit card within 24 months.
You can find targeted offers that don’t restrict you to one bonus per 24 months.
The Citi restrictions do not affect your eligibility for any Barclaycard AA cards.

The best AA credit card?
The Barclaycard Aviator Red it is the grandfathered version of the Barclaycard US Airways card but it’s also a new card you can apply for even if you never had the US Airways credit card. This card stands out because it offers you a lot of AA miles for just making a single purchase with your card. Sign-up bonuses don’t get much easier than this and that’s why I feel this might be the best AA credit card.
The Aviator Red does come with a $99 annual fee that’s not waived though. So you can think of this card as allowing you to pay $99 for 50,000 or 60,000 AA miles (whatever the bonus is set at when you apply). Either way, that’s a great deal and the additional perks like a free checked bag for up to 4 companions along with preferred boarding are additional reasons why I really like this card.
And finally, Barclaycard equips their credit cards with chip+pin technology so the Aviator Red can come in handy when you’re traveling and come across kiosks and other places where you need to enter a pin to process your transaction. These are common in certain parts of Europe.

Lower sign-up bonus and reports to personal credit report
The business version of the Aviator card was unofficially available to apply for a while but it’s now open to the public. This card is very similar to the Aviator Red but it offers some additional perks like: bonus earning potential for office supply, telecom, and car rental merchants, an opportunity to earn a companion certificate when you spend $30,000 or more, and a 5% annual bonus on miles earned with the card.
Those additional perks are nice but the sign-up bonus is lower than the personal card, so it’s not quite as good of a deal from that perspective. You also lose out on the 10% rebate on rewards. And although this card offers the companion pass option, spending $30,000 for that perk just isn’t worth it to me.
With the additional perks, this is a decent business credit card but Barclaycard usually reports its business credit cards to your personal credit report so this card will likely affect your 5/24 status, which can be a bummer. Overall, I’d prefer the personal version to this card but earning 40,000 AA miles with a single purchase will always be an attractive option in my book.

The most well-known AA credit card?
The Citi® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® World Elite MasterCard® is probably the most well-known AA credit card. The sign-up bonus for this card can vary but when you find it at 60,000, it’s a fantastic deal, especially since the $99 annual fee is usually waived (unlike the Aviator card). This card also recently received an upgrade when preferred boarding was allowed for both domestic and international itineraries.
Overall, this card is very similar to the Aviator Red but doesn’t come with the ability to earn $3,000 Elite Qualifying Dollars. The Platinum Select used to stand out for its superior protections like trip delay coverage but Barclaycard recently introduced many of those benefits so they are on more equal footing.

Might disqualify you for the Platinum Select bonus
This Citi AA credit card is one step down from the Citi Platinum Select. Since Citi implemented its 24 month rule on bonuses of the same brand, I don’t think that it makes sense to pursue this credit card in most instances since the Platinum Select will be so much more valuable.
Still, sometimes targeted offers for this AA credit card roll around and those might be worth jumping on, especially if there is no language restricting you to the 24 month rule.

The best AA business credit card?
As you can tell, this AA card is very similar to the business Aviator Red with the only major difference being that this AA credit card won’t earn you $3,000 Elite Qualifying Dollars after spending $25,000 on purchases. I still think this is the better AA business credit card for a few reasons, though.
First, this card usually comes with a higher sign-up bonus and the annual fee is waived, so you get more value right off the bat (though you have to hit a minimum spend). Second, this business card does not report to your personal credit report so you can get this credit card without it affecting your 5/24 status, which is huge for many people.
And finally, I like the 2X on gas better than the 2X on office supplies offered by the Barclaycard version.
Priority check-in, airport screening, and early boarding (where available) for you and up to eight travel companions.

Best AA card for lounge access
Sometimes the Citi® / AAdvantage® Executive World Elite MasterCard® offers an even higher sign-up bonus of 75,000 miles making it one of the strongest contenders for best AA credit card. This card also offers the free checked bag and priority boarding perks to up to 8 travel companions versus the 4 that the other Citi cards offer the perk for. Also worth noting is that you receive priority boarding versus the preferred boarding offered by the other AA cards (Group 4 vs Group 5).
But since this card comes with a hefty $450 annual fee, this card is really made for those who value having Admirals Club access. Being able to add authorized users for free is also a huge perk of this credit card. Although they don’t get “full Admirals Club access” they still get lounge access which can prove to be extremely valuable if you end up adding multiple authorized users.
All of the cards below cannot be applied for directly. Instead, you”ll need to hold a card issued by that bank and then inquire into downgrading or upgrading it. Sometimes you’ll need to hold on to the card for one (with Citi) but Barclaycard is more lenient and will allow you change your card in as short as 60 days in some cases.

Great card for high AA spenders
The Aviator Silver card cannot be applied for directly. Instead, you’ll need to upgrade your Aviator Red to this card after holding it for at least 90 days (though some say 60 days). The Aviator Silver is an attractive option to people who want to earn additional AA miles with their spend since you earn 3X on American Airlines purchases and 2X on hotels and car rentals.
Something else that makes this card a popular option is that you can earn 5,000 Elite Qualifying Miles and $3,000 Elite Qualifying Dollars. If you like to chase after airline status with American but sometimes need a little extra push to move you beyond the line, the Aviator Silver is a fantastic option. You also get the companion pass benefit along with enhanced priority boarding and checked bag benefits that cover up to 8 traveling companions on your reservation.
If you spend a decent amount on AA flights and care about obtaining elite status with them, then this can be one of the most valuable AA credit cards for you (but note the higher annual fee).
Earn 1 mile for every $1 you spend when you use your card on eligible American Airlines purchases
Save 25% on inflight food and beverage purchases on American Airlines operated flights
No annual fee
Best no annual fee AA credit card
This card is also only available when you already hold an Aviator card. This is the no annual fee version of the Aviator Red which means that it comes with stripped down benefits. The earning rates and perks of this card are not very impressive but they are better than Citi’s no annual fee AA card. Since you still earn 1X on American purchases, this would be my preferred no annual fee card for American Airlines.

Not the best no annual fee card for AA miles
This is one of the Citi AA credit cards that you can probably only downgrade to. (At certain times in the past, you could apply for it directly.)
This is only a card you should consider if you don’t want to pay an annual fee (much like the basic Aviator card). The bonus earning is poor at 1 mile for every $2 and it will offer you no benefits like preferred boarding or free checked bags. So in many cases, it will only make sense to hold on to this card if you want to age your accounts without worrying about paying an annual fee.

AA card with a limited market
This card is only available as a downgrade or upgrade product from another Aviator credit card. It comes with almost all of the same perks as the Aviator Red except for the preferred boarding and free checked bag for up to four companions and the 10% rebate. With the loss of those benefits, however, you get the reduced annual fee.
I struggle to see where this card makes sense. I think a lot of people who spend money on American flights would want the perks of the Aviator Red. And if you weren’t going to spend money on American flights, then the no annual fee Aviator would earn you the same 1X on all other purchases. I’m sure some people could find this card useful but you’d need to seriously weigh your alternatives if you were thinking about applying for this card.

A business card with little to offer
This is the stripped down version of the business Platinum Select that comes with no annual fee. There are not many perks to this AA credit card other than saving 25% on purchases and earning the basic 1X on all purchases. This really is only a card to downgrade to if you don’t want to pay the annual fee of the CitiBusiness Platinum Select.
Best use of AA points
The AA award charts are full of sweet spots as you will see below.
US to Europe
Economy: 22,500 (off-peak); 30,000
Business: 57,500
First: 85,000
The awards rates to Europe using AA miles are pretty decent all around. Fees on American Airlines to Europe in business class aren’t terrible as you can fly roundtrip to Paris for $135 total in fees. Availability can be difficult but sometimes American Airlines will dump inventory like they just did recently.
You can check out other ways to get to Europe on miles and points here.
British Airways First Class.
US to Middle East
Economy: 40,000
Business: 70,000
First: 115,000
The rates for economy and business class from the US to the Middle East with AA miles are great. And the fees o the first class Etihad Apartment can be very reasonable — I flew from AUH to JFK on the Etihad Apartment for only about $100 fees and it was one of the best flights of my life.
Etihad first class lounge at AUH.
US to India subcontinent
Economy: 40,000
Business: 70,000
First: 115,000
Both the economy rate and the business class rate are among the best for this route. It’s also nice that it’s the same price as the Middle East so you can utilize connection flights on Qatar and Etihad from the Middle East to get down to the Maldives for no additional cost.
The Conrad Maldives.
US to South Africa
Economy: 40,000
Business: 75,000
First: 120,000
If you can find availability on Qatar from the US to Africa this can be a great use of AA miles.
You can read about other ways to use miles and points to get to South Africa here.
Helicopter ride over Cape Town, South Africa.
US to Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America
Economy: 12,500 (off-peak), 15,000
Business: 25,000
First: 50,000
The economy rates and business class rates to the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America are among the best.
You can find more options for using miles and points to the Caribbean here.
Whale shark diving off Holbox Island, Mexico.
Australia to Asia 2 (Hong Kong, China, SE Asia, etc.)
Economy: 30,000
Business: 40,000
First: 50,000
The business class and first class rates from Hong Kong to Sydney are some of the best and both Qantas and Cathay Pacific fly this route so you’ll have two two options to choose from.
Fly on Cathay Pacific first class.
Asia 2 (Hong Kong, China, SE Asia, etc.) to the Middle East
Economy: 22,500
Business: 40,000
First: 50,000
Using AA miles to fly from Hong Kong to the Middle East is one of the top sweet spots out of any redemption. The prices in all three classes: economy, business class, and first class are all the cheapest rates for this route.
As you can see there are many different options for choosing cards that earn American Airlines miles. AA credit cards come in all sorts of different varieties with many different tiers of annual fees and benefits. Personally, I like the Aviator Red the most followed by the Cit Platinum Select and Citibusiness Platinum Select. However, you might be inclined to go with other options depending on your spending habits and travel preferences.

Earn 3X on All AAdvantage® Aviator™ Red MasterCard® Purchases (Targeted)
Barclaycard is sending out what I believe are targeted offers for their AAdvantage® Aviator™ Red MasterCard® allowing cardmembers to earn 3X bonus points on ALL purchases from October 1, 2017 to April 30, 2017.
With the offer you can earn up to 10,000 total miles and these miles are in addition to the miles you already earn. This is a pretty great promotion if you are trying to earn American miles.
Here the official terms for the offer:
This bonus offer is for select cardmembers and is not transferable. If you close your account or switch to another product during the promotional period, you will no longer be eligible for this promotion or any miles that you may have accrued. Qualified cardmembers who activate by 11/30/17 will earn 3 bonus miles for every one dollar ($1) in new purchase(s) that are not later returned or rescinded with a transaction date that posts to their account between 10/1/17 and 4/30/18, up to a maximum of 10,000 bonus miles. To be eligible for this offer and to receive the bonus miles, the cardmember’s account must be open, active and in good standing. Purchases made during periods when the cardmember’s account is delinquent, their balance exceeds their credit line or their account is otherwise not in good standing do not qualify for this offer. The bonus miles will appear on the cardmember’s statement 6-8 weeks after the end of the promotion.
Keep in mind that you must activate this promotion by 11/30/17. The targeted email offers will have a link for you to follow and it takes all but two seconds to register for the offer.
This is one of the few times I’ll actually probably change my spend for a while to stock up on some American miles since 3X is a pretty solid earning rate, especially for non-bonused categories. The card also earns 2X on eligible American Airlines purchases, so you should be able to earn 5X on American purchases and 4X on normal purchases based on the terms of the promotion.

Aviator Red Sign-up Bonus Drops to 50K
As expected, Barclaycard just brought down the sign-up bonus of the AAdvantage® Aviator™ Red World Elite Mastercard® from 60,000 to 50,000. This is still 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. But if you don’t have a need to jump on the card right now it’s probably best to hold off until the higher offer returns.
Earn 50,000 AAdvantage miles after your first purchase.
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 savingson food, beverages, and headsets on American Airlines-operated flights
10% of your redeemed miles back on redemptions (up to 10,000 miles per calendar year)
$100 American Airlines Flight Discount after you spend $30,000 or more in Purchases on your Account during your card membership year
Reduced Mileage Awards — Fly to great destinations on American Airlines operated flights for up to 7,500 fewer AAdvantage® miles for flights in the US and to/from Canada
No foreign transaction fees
Chip and Pin technology (great for Europe)
Annual fee $95 (not waived)
Sign-up bonus
Not many cards offer a sign-up bonus for simply making a purchase and for those that do, it’s rarer to find such a lucrative sign-up bonus at 50,000 miles.
The Etihad First Class Apartment.
Annual fee
$95
This annual fee is not waived unlike the Citi Platinum Select which waives its $95 annual fee the first year. So you’re essentially paying $95 for 50,000 AAdvantage miles, which is a deal that I would take any day.
Hard pull
Barclaycard sometimes only pulls from Transunion (although not always) so this is a great way to give your Experian and/or Equifax credit report (just remember YMMV).
Barclaycard can combine inquiries but your second application may go to pending and you will probably have to recon on that app, so if you don’t want to deal with a reconsideration call then maybe consider waiting a few days to a week to apply for a second card and missing out on the combined hard pull. Otherwise, give it a shot.
Final word
This is still a solid credit card offer for the Aviator Red. I would personally wait until I’m above 5/24 to apply since this offer will be around for a while and even if you miss it, it will likely be back.

Barclaycard is now offering another new bonus and this one’s a real catch. It’s the AAdvantage® AviatorTM Red World Elite MasterCard® and it’s offering a great (and easily obtainable) sign-up bonus along with the potential for some other nice perks down the road. Here’s a look at the offer.
Sign-up bonus
Earn 40,000 AAdvantage miles after your first purchase.
It’s not very often that you see bonuses offered for just making a single purchase. And, it’s even more rare to find an “instant bonus” with a high sign-up bonus of 40,000 miles!
Bonus category earning potential
2X for every one dollar you spend on eligible American Airlines purchases
1X on all other purchases
Bonus earning is pretty standard and on par with the Citi Platinum Select (personal card) and most other airline cards.
Additional perks
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.
Group 1 boarding for the primary cardmember on domestic flights operated by American
25% inflight savingson food, beverages, and headsets on American Airlines-operated flights
10% of your redeemed miles back on redemptions (up to 10,000 miles per calendar year)
No foreign transaction fees
These perks are very similar to the Citi Platinum Select and are nice additions if you fly American domestically. For the casual traveler who only takes a couple of international trips a year, these perks don’t do you too much good since they are limited to domestic flights.
Tip: Many Barclaycards come equipped with true “chip and pin” technology making them very useful to have when traveling to places like Europe.
Annual fee
$95
This annual fee is not waived unlike the Citi Platinum Select which waives its $95 annual fee the first year. So you’re essentially paying $95 for 40,000 AAdvantage miles (less than a quarter of cent per mile).
Hard pull
Barclaycard sometimes only pulls from Transunion (although not always) so this is a great way to give your Experian and/or Equifax credit report (just remember YMMV).
Barclaycard can combine inquiries but your second application may go to pending and you will probably have to recon on that app, so if you don’t want to deal with a reconsideration call then maybe consider waiting a few days to a week to apply for a second card and missing out on the combined hard pull. Otherwise, give it a shot.
Getting approved for the card
Disclaimer: There is no way of guaranteeing you will be approved so take that into consideration!
There are already a lot of data points out on applications for this card but they appear to be all over the place.
The good news is that there are people getting approved for this card who have recently opened up other Barclaycards like the Wyndham and Arrival Plus. Some people (including myself) got approved for those cards as recent as a week prior and still got approved for the Aviator Red. Others have been denied for too many new accounts with seemingly identical credit reports, so YMMV.
I think it’s still somewhat of a luck of the draw, but considering the data points and how easy two of my reconsideration phone calls with them have been this week, I don’t think you should let some recent inquiries or even a recent account opened with Barclaycard hold you back from applying.
Something else to consider brought up by Running with Miles is that if you converted a card within the past 24 months to the Aviator Red, then you might be excluded by the 24 month language, so it might be a good idea to wait it out.
For what it’s worth, the Arrival Plus also states it bonus is only “valid for first-time Cardmembers with new accounts only” but many people have received bonuses multiple times even after being well past “first-time cardmembers.” Still, I’d probably wait for some data points to come in if this exclusion applied to me.
Downgrading and upgrading
View from the Wing writes that you should be able to product change this card after 90 days to the more expensive Aviator Silver (which you can no longer directly apply for). That card usually comes with an annual fee of $195 but due to federal regulations, if you product change from the Red to the Silver, you can still retain the lower annual fee (at least for a year).
In addition, if you spend $50,000 spend in a year, you’ll get:
10,000 elite qualifying miles (3,000 when you spend $25,000, and another 3,000 when you spend an additional $25,000)
6,000 elite qualifying dollars (5,000 when you spend $20,000, and another 5,000when you spend an additional $20,000)
A companion ticket
You also can get 3X on American Airlines purchases
If you’re interested in obtaining or maintaining status with American, those options might appeal to you, especially since the Citi Executive doesn’t offer the option of elite qualifying dollars.
Redemption possibilities
Right now, this is a great time to cash in on American Airlines AAdvantage miles — I don’t think things have been this good for about a year. With the easily obtainable Aviator bonus you could get 40,000 miles in a hurry. 40,000 miles can get you roundtrip economy tickets around the US, to the Caribbean, Mexico, and even upper South America.
But what I really like to think about is combining these earnings with other cards out there on the market right now. Two other cards that you should consider for earning large bonuses of American AAdvantage miles are the:
Both of these cards just increased their public offers to 50,000 miles after spending $3,000.
With just three cards (and one $95 annual fee due the first year) that’s enough to earn 140,000 American Airlines miles! If you’re interested in booking a top premium cabin then that’s enough to get you a round trip in business class to a lot of places and more than enough to book a top first class cabin on a long-haul one-way.
With those miles you could book:
Etihad First Class Apartment or Qatar first class for one way to or from the Middle East at 115,000 miles
Etihad or Qatar business class roundtrip to or from the Middle East at 140,000
Roundtrip business class to Europe at 115,000
Close to enough to book a roundtrip in business class to Africa at 150,000
Only 20,000 miles short of booking 2 roundtrip business class tickets to Hawaii
Earn enough miles to fly the Etihad First Class Apartment.
Business card coming, too?
In the article referenced above, VFTW also writes that a business version of this card is on its way in 2017! That means even more earning potential.
If the Aviator Red proves to be like most other cards issued from Barclaycard, there’s real churning possibilities. Thus, the possibility to cash in on a nice chunk of AAdvantage miles every 3 to 6 months might be possible in 2017.
If you’re patient enough and were able to get the business version of the Aviator Red when it comes out and also snag the Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select cards, you might be able stockpile over 200,000 AAdvantage miles over the next 3 to 6 months and have enough miles to book a roundtrip long-haul first class flight on some of the top airlines like Etihad. Qatar, or Cathay Pacific.
Final word
The only reasons why I wouldn’t jump on this card is if I were 1) still under 5/24 (probably never going to happen for me); 2) potentially excluded by the 24 month language; or 3) if I had just hit some cards that pulled my TransUnion report (Capital One and other Barclaycard) then I might wait out a month or two. But even then, this is such a great offer that I might even risk the rejection unless I had absolutely no need or potential use for AAdvantage miles.
