This is a limited time increase on what is normally offered by American Airlines for this base individual credit card. In my experience, it is truly a 'limited time offer' and will go away without notice.

The terms say it tracks to when you previously received a new account bonus

Agree - good way to track your different cards is run a search

This will tell you the approved card (that matters a lot) and approved date.
I'm glad the 48 rule was brought up though...might be worth mentioning in OP for folks that don't read the comments tho
Google that if you want to double check.
If you do what I do, you spread the wealth around among cards (Southwest (Biz and non-biz), United (biz and non-biz), American Airlines, Chase Sapphire) and I keep a log of when I applied, approved and bonus achieved so it's not usually a huge problem to 'click' my sign on bonuses on a consistent basis -- alongside wifey too.
I think there are a lot of factors re: getting the application actually APPROVED or not.....credit wise....I agree with your comment as my biggest issue has been having 'too big of credit limits' across many cards and having too much of a credit line. If you anticipate an issue, call and reduce some of your credit limit amounts that you dont use to a more realistic amount.

The measly 2 points on AA flights + the $99 fee really pales in comparison to, say, the $95/yr Sapphire Preferred card, which admittedly doesn't offer point transfers to AA but does have other high-value partners and better multipliers (3X on dining, 2X on all travel)

Actually Barclay is a little more mysterious. Where Citi has a hard line of 48mos; Barclay states 'may not receive another welcome bonus', which means at any point they can halt the promos.
If that's changed, please share the verbiage..Id appreciate that. Many thanks!
