Hello.
The other day while browsing the forums I came across a thread about the Citi AA SUB restriction changing from no bonus if recieved one the last 24 months to 48 months. I currently have the platinum select, that I've had for over two years after committing to take a big trip at least once a year. See the world, broaden my horizons and all that. But I'm not sure how I feel about the annual fee when redemption for points is a pain (due to them having you pay it all with points - worked for small domestic trip, requires a lot more point savings for international) and no other benefits have been useful. The carry on benefit doesn't seem worth it (since it's just on domestic and I've taken the spirit of one-bagging my trips anyway), neither does priority boarding since I usually end up getting it while picking a MCE seat.
So what I was considering is applying for the Milesup card as it recieves recieves the same 2 points back on AA purchases that the Platinum Select does but without the annual fee. And I figured I could possibly get the bonus, then transfer my limit over the the Milesup, canceling the Platinum Select before it renews. HOWEVER, I've also seen info about the points devaluation coming up with AA devaluation and figured it may as well be a good as time as any to get recommendations on other cards/airline loyalty programs if there's anything crazy good. Otherwise, AA has been very good to me.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
