AAdvantage® Aviator® Red World Elite Mastercard®

AAdvantage® Aviator® Red World Elite Mastercard® from Barclays

Card overview
The AAdvantage® Aviator® Red World Elite Mastercard® offers significant benefits for American Airlines travelers, including priority boarding, a complimentary checked bag, and a 25% discount on in-flight purchases. To qualify for the welcome offer, simply make a purchase of at least $1 within the first 90 days and pay the annual fee; similarly, the same applies when there's an offer for an additional card, where swiping at least $1 earns a bonus for that card. With 2X miles on American Airlines purchases and 1X mile on other spending, along with a reasonable annual fee, it's a top choice for frequent flyers. Plus, if the annual fee becomes too expensive, you can downgrade to a free card after the first year.
