Got this card a year ago. AF is posting soon. Any reason to keep this card?I fly AA a lot but for that I have a Citi AA Executive card.
The AF is cheaper on the Aviator. 10% rebate on awards.
Yes, it's much cheaper. But there is a reason I pay for my Citi Exec Plat. I use the Admirals Lounge at least 100 times a year. So... assuming I am keeping my Citi Exec Plat... any reason to also keep Aviator?
Figured it's worth a new thread, as it's almost here. Rumors are that it will be available for new signups, not just conversion of existing USAir cards.
I was wrong here about it being available for new signups when it first came out. But starting in January, you will be able to apply for an Aviator! Gary: http://viewfromthewing.boardingarea.com/2016/07/12/american-strikes-new-credit-card-agreement-winner-citi-barclaycard/
I just got an email offering an upgrade to silver. Anything that makes it worth $195? I'm not a frequent flyer.
40k miles, no min spend:https://www.applyaviator.comWhat if you already have this card, converted from US Airways?Is this discussed elsewhere?
Someone did already get a 2nd card. http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=11994.msg1622516#msg1622516
Thanks. He was approved. We don't know if he'll get the bonus. Do we?
Usually Barclays gives you the bonus if you're approved. Obviously with this new rollout they could surprise us, but based on past behavior the bonus will be granted.
just got the red version. Any others available to apply?
Not yet, there should be another in 2017.
any reason not to get this card? (assuming the 5/24 ship has long since sailed)
No, there's no spend requirement so you're basically buying 40k AA for $95 and that's only if you can't get the AF waived. I got an M&M, Aviator, and Arrival + in one day so you can always try for those as well although getting three barclay cards at once is not the norm.
