Retention Offers for AAdvantage Cards
AAdvantage Amex and Visa. Annual fees due next month.
Called first to cancel the Amex. Said I was considering canceling due to having the BA Chase Visa, which can be used for AA flights, and can be used more places since it's a Visa. Got offered an $85 credit for 5 transactions in the next 3 months.
Then called to cancel the Visa. Said I was considering canceling due to having the BA Chase Visa, which can be used for AA flights, and gives more miles per dollar spent. Got offered an $85 credit (straight up) AND 750 bonus miles for each month where I spend more than $750 on the card. The offer ends in 16 months.
I hadn't spent much on either card since the signup bonuses a year ago, but the second offer will likely cause me to switch daily spending to the AA Visa. Thanks, Citi!
