Barclaycard US, the payments business of Barclays in the United States, today announced that consumers can now apply for the AAdvantage Aviator Red World Elite Mastercard. The card is a bit different from the product that ex-US Airways cardholders have through a product change.
The card comes with a decent bonus and no spend requirement. You get 40,000 AA miles after a first purchase is made on the Account within ninety (90) days of account opening and the annual fee has been paid. The card has a $95 annual fee which is not waived (compared to $89 for the old Aviator Red card). The card gives you 10 percent of your redeemed AAdvantage miles back (10,000 miles maximum per calendar year) and the ability to earn $3,000 Elite Qualifying Dollars (EQDs) when you spend $25,000 each calendar year.
This one-time AAdvantage bonus mileage offer is valid for first-time cardmembers with new accounts only. Existing cardmembers, existing accounts, and previous cardmember with accounts closed in the past 24 months may not be eligible for this offer.
Other Aviator cards should become available for sign up in 2017.
