I think its an lot closer now that CSP AF has been incresed , but i still like CSP for the flexibility it brings. I don't think venture or arrival+ are matches for me long term. I would tho signup for the bonus and drop them after an year. For me personally i would rather use an 2% cashback card like DC or fidelity amex because my spending doesn't make arrival+/Venture AF viable.
Just so you know there is an 50k public offer for citi AA card i think if you search for it thru the American Airlines not thru Citi, you should be able to find it , but in general Arrival+/Venture/AA are probably cards i would only signup for bonus because i am not the biggest traveler so AF wouldn't make it worth it for me.
yes mongstradamus - Spend $1,000 in 90 days earn 30,000 bonus miles or Spend $3,000 in 90 days earn 50,000 bonus miles if you apply from American Airlines site,
