AAdvantage Aviator Red

Earns: American AAdvantage

★★★★★

GigaTake:

American miles aren’t the most valuable, but they also don’t have many transfer partners so if you want to rack them up, you’ll need to pick a co-branded card like this one. The companion certificate can be quite a deal, but requires significant annual spend.
