Recommended application time

  1. It is not possible to apply for it, but the current DP shows that you can transfer the card after owning the Barclays Aviator Red for 90 days.

Summarize

For a comparison of several AA co-branded cards, seeCiti & Barclaycard AA co-branded credit cards comparison”, you can see that this card is the only AA co-branded card with an annual fee of $195. 3x AA miles is quite impressive (if you often fly AA). In addition, this card has better benefits for fellow travelers. Not only can 8 fellow travelers get free baggage and priority boarding together (need to be booked on the same itinerary), but after an annual consumption of $30k, you can also get 2 $99 friend tickets, which can save a lot of money on popular routes. EQM benefits can also help people who often fly AA to sprint for higher-level membership. In short, this card is worth considering for people who often fly AA, and don’t pay the annual fee if you don’t fly AA.
