Are there credit cards that help/enable you to get elite status on any airline?
The Intercontinental or Priority Club cards and the Hilton Amex do for hotels, but how about for airlines.
I can see that Citi/AA has a me-too version of Amex Platinum that gives 10K status miles after 40K of spending (which means only 90K from flying). Are there others?
I'd like to boost my chances of hitting Exec Plat or Star Gold using a card if one exists. I don't fly SkyTeam that much.
