AAdvantage Globe

AF $350⚡ ALL-TIME HIGH★ Keeper

What it is

The AAdvantage Globe is a Citi card earning American AAdvantage miles. Its ongoing value can outweigh the annual fee, making it a potential keeper past year one. Citi's mid-premium American Airlines card (successor to the Barclays Aviator Silver, now that Citi is the sole AAdvantage issuer). Turo, inflight, and splurge credits plus Admirals Club day passes and a renewal companion certificate sit against the fee. AAdvantage miles aren't transferable.
