So...there's going to be two cards w/ AAdvantage program until 2015 when Citi takes over completely.
"There had been some speculation in the past as to what would happen with the relationship between US Airways and Barclaycard since the card of choice for American Airlines has typically been the Citi AAdvantage Card. We learned back in January that Barclaycard’s contract with US Airways had been negotiated through 2017 but a date for the branding change had not been set. With the new contracts, Citi remains the combined airline’s exclusive issuer of loyalty cards, and Barclaycard has been allowed to maintain its existing accounts using American’s AAdvantage program branding (more information can be found at Payment Source). However, it will not be until after the full integration of the Frequent Flyer programs at some point in 2015 that Citi will become the sole issuer."

I can't wait for my partners Business USAir Card to go Citi!!
Barclay CLD shortly after he got it and im done talking to them.
Well, here's the question- if you get the USAir Premier card w/ its current signup bonus- which is 40k miles after first puchase which sounds darn good, will the miles automatically convert to AA miles? If so, then it's waaay better than the current Citi AA signup bonus which is 30k miles after $1k spend on the Platinum.
Thoughts?

You can already redeem US miles on AA metal and AA miles on US. Barclays never would give me that US Air card....maybe when my Arrival hits 6 months?
You only have one card w/ Barclays?
