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.

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

Will they take back the 60k points (if unused) when you close your card before paying the annual fee?
I guess there is no option to downgrade the account like the chase United Explorer - where you can downgrade to the Basic Gateway card without the annual fee.
Looking at a random date in April, it's 25K points + $11.20 in fees, whereas I can get a flight on Alaska for $254 in cash. Not too bad, though with another good points system, like Chase with a Sapphire Reserve, that comes out to 16.9K points. With Sapphire Preferred it only goes up to 20.3K. So maybe if you are flying during off-peak times or going to particular location with a good deal it works out, but my experience just doesn't give me much confidence without having to hunt or fly on inconvenient days. Of course, CSR is expensive ($550 per year), so it's not a perfect comparison, though a lot of the benefits you get from that card can effectively bring that annual fee down to almost $0.
That's just my 2c for anyone considering doing this who fly domestically between specific destinations a lot. Maybe check what the points values are like for your preferred destinations and compare that to actual flight prices.
Yes, You should have the card active and in good status at the time of your flight and would be able able to get the free checked bag perk.

I think this is my 3rd time getting the personal card, and 2nd time getting the business card. Last bonus posted 2 months ago.

MileSAAver/AAnytime was where the true value was with AAdvantage miles. Without that, it's not even getting them unless you just have points to burn.

Whatever, after you use these bonuses the card is fairly useless when it comes to point accrual.
