Barclay jumped me up to silver so I won't close the card (half way through the year..)

What benefits does Silver have over Red?

IIRC you can earn 10k AA EQM with it a year like the Citi Executive

[Josef.koney]

IIRC you can earn 10k AA EQM with it a year like the Citi Executive

How?

[Tom Brady]

How?

Through spending like the Citi Executive. I just checked, it's 5k EQM for 20k in spend, up to 10k EQM a year. The Citi Executive is simply 10k EQM for 40k in spend.

O right that... yes there is no way I'm spending that.. lol

Because it's too much, or because it's not worth it?

[Josef.koney]

To much

[Marco Polo]

To much

Plenty of MS around to do that spend.

With my ways of MS (or maybe lack of ways...) it's too much of a pain...

[Tom Brady]

+1 where I'm from 40k isn't more than 8 trips to Stop and Shop and 20 trips to Walmart. And when you consider the fact that there's got to be 50+ Stop and Shops and 50+ Walmarts within driving distance from where I live, 40k is pretty easily doable in a day, let alone over an entire year.

You need to get out more. 

[Josef.koney]

I feel I get out just enough   anyone that needs to get out could deff give me a ring...

My wife made reservations for both of us with her ba account . If my aa number is on the reservation under my name, is that enough for free bags, or does her aa number need to be on the reservation?  We both have the Barclays aa card.

Either way works.

Just got what looks like a decent targeted offer:

Spend 2500 each calendar month December through May and get 30,000 bonus.

So basically 3x on all spend assuming you spend exactly 2500 each month.

Too bad youll only get the bonus after the mAAsacre.
