lol. pathetic offer. there is frequently 75k miles offer with waived annual fee. 50k miles is sometimes barely enough for domestic round trip.

This is the post-merger US Airways card from Barclays, not Citi. AAdvantage miles are my absolute favorite. They've increased in value in recent years. Booking domestic itineraries with them is easy, especially if you are flexible. Of course the Citi 75k offer is much better. I wouldn't apply for this one under 60k, and I'd only be willing to pay the annual fee if I was desperate for enough miles for an international trip etc.

The main benefit here is you don't need to spend a lot to get the points, you need to make 1 purchase.

lol, you don't waste hard inquiry on 50k miles where 75k no fee and only one purchase req offer comes around often. I am someone with 3 million aadvantage miles.

3 million miles is amazing! What are some of the best ways to get Aadvantage miles? When you get more than 1 Aadvantage credit card, when do you close the first one? Thanks!

Yeah years ago wife and I had 3 million points accumulated through a citi card application loophole. A fun ride of free hotels and flights for a decade. Now we are both banned from ever having an Aadvantage account.

I thought the Barclay cards were being faced out. This means that it will become a Citi card in 2026.

50K is low. 60k is normal and they sometimes offer 70k. Hold off for now. Be patient.
