In the last few days, Citi has modified the American Airlines AAdvantage Executive credit card features. While a little costly, I decided to get it to leverage the 100,000 bonus miles that it now offers. There is a $595 annual fee (I will likely only keep it one year), but it also includes free access to the Admirals Clubs in airports. There are no international transaction fees and they have re-added in several travel insurances (including rental cars) that had been removed previously. There is a hefty $10,000 required spend within 3 months to get the 100,000 miles. But I think I can reach that by directing all my spending to the card plus my September trip to Switzerland plus one or two airfare/cruise purchases that I can make in that timeframe. I'll have to track my progress closely on that.
The card is definitely not for everyone, but I think I will benefit from it for the year.
