Only flying 2-4x per year and spending enough on an AA CC to get 400,000 LPs is such a poor spending ROI. You’re better off putting that spending to work on a transferable points CC like the Citi Strata, any Amex, Venture X, or Chase Sapphire/Reserve, unless you have a specific need for the redeemable AA miles, and even then they are wayyy better spent on partner intl award travel outside of North America.
