You do NOT need to pay with your AA card.

If you met the above criteria, all I can say is, HUCA exists IRL as well.
Interesting. When I log in to AA.com, I do not see either "Citi AAdvantage Cardholder" or "Barclays Aviator Cardholder" (I have both) under Myaccount.
But when I log in to my credit card account on citi.com, then click on use miles, it takes me to the AA.com website and I do see AAdvantageŽ cardmember under my account number.
Next time I make a reservation, I will try to pre-pay the baggage check fee to see how that goes. Once I am at the airport with my non-carryon bag they have me at their mercy.
