My Aviator Red is a grandfathered US product with an annual 10K RDM bonus. Based on my observation, many Aviator Red were forced to be cut because the AFs are no longer waived.

Hope this will change how Barclay grant AF waiver.

Nowhere near.

1. DL/UA does not count partner spending unless ticketed in own stock. AA counts.

2. DL/UA has a M/PQD waiver for international members. AA does not.

3. DL/UA M/PQD credit card waiver is all-or-nothing. AA is partial credit.
