If you really want to. But you'll get so few AAdvantage miles out of this (it's about a 5:1 ratio Choice:AA) that I don't see why it would be worth it. Would you really apply for a card just for 6000 AA miles???

It all depends on how you use your miles, but for those who use for typical domestic coach awards, 6000 AA miles is worth maybe around $100ish.

But the same 32000 Choice points that you'd transfer to only about 6000 AA miles can (if you leave them as Choice points) be used in the second half of September (onward into the fall) for 4 nights at most any Choice hotel in Europe, easily saving you $600 or $800 or maybe even more if you use it that way.

And the points won't expire for about 2.5 years from now. So if you don't use them by then, you could still transfer them to AA then.

So I don't see why you'd want to transfer them to AA except as a backup, given the huge value difference between keeping them as points vs transferring to AA miles.
