I was offered the traditional $25 off renewal at the ORD AC a week or so ago (my renewal is in April) but I declined saying that I'll wait a bit more to see if a better offer comes around. Today, I got this:
"Hello

Are you kidding me??

Last check-in with FT before renewing at the AC directly for what I hope is still a $25 discount. Anyone aware of any better offers or have any tips to share for getting any kind of deal?

One of the AAngels at LAX offered me $25 off on a new signup a few days ago. Maybe they have the authority to do so individually?

Hmmm... it used to be an un-published $50 discount for new members for the AC agents to give out. Apparently now it's $25. My renewal is up in about 6 weeks. They've always sent me an email (a couple of months beforehand) in the past reminding me of this, with a $25 discount code to do so. I haven't gotten an email yet. And with membership fees having gone up earlier in the year, this is discouraging. I paid $275 to renew last December. Looks like I will have to pay $350 this time around.

I am thinking of getting an AA Club membership since Amex Platinum discontinued our access as of today. I have an extra $100 in statement credit, plus AA is my declared airline $200 credit so as a new member it would cost me $200.
Would I be better off getting the Citi AA card that includes lounge access for the long term or just go with this?

The Citi card could be a good option if you need the EQM.

If you can meet the spend requirement, you can get a ton of AA miles with the Citi card (I think the offer I responded to was for 100k miles in exchange for 10k spend in 3 months) in addition to the 10k EQM. I opted to go with it this year for the bonus and I'll reconsider next year.
