I know a bunch of people have American Airlines business credit cards sitting around as part of their (now-every-18-month) American Airlines card churn, so I thought I’d pass along that they’ve actually added a couple of new benefits to the card:
- First checked bag is now free for you and 4 others.
- You’ll earn double miles on office supplies, telecom and car rental.
- When you renew your card, you’ll get a 5% bonus on the previous year’s spend (effectively letting you earn 1.05 points on every purchase, and 2.10 points on the bonus categories above, though that’ll cost you the $95 annual fee).
- Priority boarding
- 25% off in-flight purchases
- You’ll get a $99 companion certificate after you spend $30,000 annually (weak!)
Although the official offer is for 30,000 miles after $1,000 in purchases in 3 months, if you apply through this link you’ll get 50,000 miles after spending $3,000 in 3 months (plus the annual fee is just $75).
(UPDATE: I spoke with the AAdvantage folks, and existing cardmembers CAN get these new benefits by calling the number on the back of your card and ask to be upgraded to the CitiBusiness AAdvantage World Mastercard that includes these new perks.)
