It actually existed for at least some years of my EXP past. And it also existed when I was an EXP using AA miles for BA economy class flights.

I'd already decided that Australia was off my list- unfortunate since I'd love to visit Australia/NZ- but both mileage redemptions and the sticker price for Business Class are out of control and I will NOT fly Coach on that route. I'm 70 and life is too short.
Looks like my AA Executive card on its way to me in the mail as I type this will not be renewed a year from now, but I'll spend enough to get the 60,000 LPs and use it for AA purchase. Earn 'em and burn 'em.
I’ve never applied for an AA Citi credit card for myself. I was considering getting on that hamster wheel a few months back, but I was thinking I could just as well wait until the AA credit card “sign-up bonuses” come with a lot more miles than was then (and is now) the case. I’ll now be waiting for an increase in the SUBs before I apply for an AA Citi card.
