Not one clue. But I would certainly tie her "loony" demeanor with the equally loony idea that another AA card product from Barclays would come out. I don't think it makes much sense for Barclays to offer another higher card level when the silver is already , IMHO, a better card than the Citi Exec when you take the AC access out of the picture. It was my understanding that Citi had the exclusive on the AC access benefit? Not sure how Barclays could also offer that access on this supposed super premium card. Maybe I am mis-remembering that fact.
But, if some other small rumblings of AA moving away from Citi are true, an AA card from Barclays with AC access would likely happen.
All that said, if 100k sign up bonus is offered on this mythical new card, you bet I will be getting it to churn
