60K - 110K American Airline Points | $0-2500 spend | $0 annual fee for year 1

60k points - AAdvantage World Elite Mastercard from Barclays. Just for opening the card, and making a single purchase, you will earn 60,000 American Airlines miles. The card's $99 annual fee is even waived in your first year of card membership.

50K points - This card currently has a welcome offer bonus to earn 50,000 AAdvantage Miles after spending $2,500 within the three months of card membership. And the card's $99 annual fee is also waived for the first year of card membership.

https://citicards.citi.com/usc/LP...index.html

Put these two cards together, and spend just $2,500 on the other (the Citi Platinum Select World Elite card) in the first three months. Bam: You've got 110,000 American Airlines miles. All without paying an annual fee in your first year.

That's an easier (and cheaper) path to pile up more than 100,000 miles than you'll find with almost any other airline. Of course, it requires opening two credit cards and responsibly meeting the minimum spending requirement

AA points aren't the easiest to use (and get a good value). Just be aware of what you are getting.

No, I reopen every 2 years or so, but some people do it more often. You can also open the business card for another 80k points

YMMV (literally).
For me it's been insanely easy. I'm in the Midwest. They connect everywhere out here. And frequently are worth >2.0

I somewhat heard that Barclays doesn't let you product change, so you might get stuck with the card though

Yes, but it isn't enforced. You can google it to see others getting the offer multiple times.
I think this is my 3rd time getting the personal card, and 2nd time getting the business card. Last bonus posted 2 months ago.
