Seems like I'm eligible for the bonus even though I got the platinum card a few months ago, correct? Nice card that matches the united and delta no fee card released within the last year.

It would appear so (at least from what I can tell) since the restriction only mentions the MileUp CC and not the other Citi AA products.

"... Statement credit and American Airlines AAdvantage®bonus miles are not available if you have had an AAdvantage MileUpSM card opened or closed in the past 24 months"

Hmm interesting. I wonder if I could downgrade my platinum to this card when my AF is due again next year? This is definitely an appealing downgrade option if true.

Delta card is American Express. I like American Airlines better than Delta but I don’t like Citibank. I am not sure what 10000 AA points are worth combined with the 50. Terms don’t seem so great except for the promotion on a no fee card.

This card seems to be promotion driven but has no real benefit for long term usage as other better deals exist.

I think I will pass only good for those who have small credit spend. 10k points on AA is just hohum. Barclay Aviator card much better deal.

What other AA card gives you 2 miles per $1 on Supermarket? That would be worth it for miles and no AF, for me that is more than ho hum....

Its ho hum because both Chase and Barclay have a far superior product with a much better signup bonus. The addl signup bonus far exceeds the cost of the AF. I guess it really matters what you are looking for. For me it us all about the signup bonus.

Citi is struggling as of late.

If SUBs are what matters, forget Barclay and learn how to ride the Citi GrAAvy train.

25,000 miles will get you a SAAVER first class one way ticket, but that's before you apply the Plat's or the Exec's 7,500 mileage reducer.

10k miles won’t get you far or maybe even off the ground. I live in Nashville and it takes 12.5k miles for a one way trip to Atlanta in economy using AA miles (or any miles program probably).

This is a nice card.

I have two AA Platinum cards, they converted to 2miles Gas and Dining yesterday.

Will switch one of these to MileUp, and then I've got a year round Grocery card for extra points at Fred Meyer, where neither AMEX nor Apple Pay (Altitude Reserve) get any luv. AF comes up in August~~, so will be switching soon~~.

Don't care about the 10,000 miles sign up, I've got too many cards and need to be avoiding HP. Good for those who want the SUB, but I'll save my HP for a United card someday.

ETA: Called just now to convert. The CSR read from a script that was patched together with the Bronze version, lists out Bronze benefits ( 1 mile per $2 spent ) and the card actually won't change over it seems until September 13. A new number will result. So we shall see how this reports on my credit report, whether the account age is maintained. It's only a couple years old, so I'm not worried about AAoA. I will also be testing this in a few days to see if it starts earning 2 miles on groceries yet. She did mention a Hertz discount, not sure if that is on the Bronze, whether it goes with the MileUP or even if it is any better than my Hertz discount through work affiliation.

I wasn't using this card except for BT, and I stopped those after they raised the BT Fee to 5% so I'm fine with using the card for a guinea pig.
