American
Airlines offers a number of credit cards through its partnership
with the Citi credit cards division of Citibank. Below we list
each card, along with features/benefits that distinguish one
from another in helping you choose the right card for your needs.
(If
you are interested in other airline credit cards as well, see
Travel
Credit Cards.)
Citi
Platinum Select / AAdvantage® World MasterCard -
Allows you to earn
one AAdvantage mile for every dollar spent with the card, and
you can earn up to 100,000 miles per year. Annual fee: None
for the first year, then $85 annually.
AAdvantage®
American Express Card - The newest American Airlines
credit card for consumers matches up most closely with the Platinum
World MasterCard shown above. The only real difference is that
it is an American Express card versus a MasterCard, which means
it offers some features unique to American Express, most notably
travel services worlwide, lost luggage protections and other
insurances a frequent traveler might desire.
Citi
Gold / AAdvantage® World MasterCard - Allows you
to earn 1 AAdvantage mile for every dollar spent, up to 60,000
per year. Annual fee --- none for the first year, then $50 annually.
Citi
Bronze AAdvantage World MasterCard -
No annual fee American Airlines card, this one offers 1 mile
for every $2 in purchases.
NOTE:
All of the above American Airlines credit cards offer the same
interest rate. Their differences are all in the features offered
and the annual fees paid.
