Citi/AA's new mid-tier card - AAdvantage Globe Card
details on the new mid-tier card. nothing really surprising; the Admirals Club Globe lounge passes is a nice touch and flight streak feature ican be useful for some people. however, the splurge credit isnt eligible for best buy and american airlines like CSE, so the merchant list is a little underwhelming, and im personally not a fan of turo, and the card's MasterRental insurance probably doesnt cover it as well
Cardholders can enjoy the following perks in exchange for a $350 annual fee:
- 4 Admirals Club Globe lounge passes annually, valid for 24 hours each. The “Globe” in the name of these passes makes them unique, allowing you to still use them “even on days when operational limitations restrict access.” Each pass admits 1 adult, and the primary cardholder must be present to redeem the passes.
- American Airlines Companion Certificate, redeemable for $99 plus taxes and fees, and valid for a round-trip domestic flight in Main Cabin; this is received each year after card renewal.
- Up to $100 in American Airlines inflight purchase credits annually, providing statement credits against purchases made with your card during a flight. Eligible purchases include food, beverages, and inflight Wi-Fi on American Airlines and domestic flights marketed by AA but operated by its regional subsidiaries.
- Complimentary first checked bag for you and up to 8 companions on your same itinerary, valid on domestic American Airlines itineraries.
- Group 5 preferred boarding with American Airlines, applicable to the primary cardholder and up to 8 companions on the same reservation.
