For me, it started because in the 80's it was a good card. Now that I'm spending and traveling again, I'd love to maximize my mileage where I can!
Thank you.

Keep the card for your age of accounts. Use it every 6 months. As Craykittens said, you need to know when they product changed you. If it was less than 24 months ago and you want AA miles, you can get the Aviator. It costs $95 right away, but with no minimum spend requirement. I can't think of how to get AA miles from Amex or Chase, a problem I ran into a few years ago but hope to never have again. Occasionally a link surfaces with no 24 month language so keep checking back if you are bound by the 24 months.
