I am in Springfield, Mo and also trying to decide on a FF card. I also am not as interested in upgrades. I do want a card that will let me pay bills, buy groc, gas and other things to get miles. Every time I have ever needed to fly, the best fares are out of St Louis! So I will fly out of there! I want to be able to accrue enough miles to fly from here! Does the AAdvantage card let you accrue miles like I have described? Thanks,
