AAdvantage Aviator Silver and Red Cards from BarclayCard
There are five AAdvantage-linked Aviator-branded cards by Barclaycard. Two of them can be applied for directly, the other three are upgrades or downgrades after receiving a Red card.

The Many Flavors of Barclaycard AAdvantage Aviator

Where can I see information on all available Barclays Barclaycard AAdvantage cards?


Aviator Red (On AA.com)
Aviator Silver (On AA.com)
Aviator Business (On AA.com)
Aviator Red applications are available at the airport, in flight, or online at https://www.barclaycardus.com/.

Red cardholders may receive an offer to upgrade to Aviator Silver after a period of time that varies, usually 3-11 months. The offer appears in the online "Offers" section, if it is declined there may be no simple way to receive the upgrade. Be careful with your clicking! Silver benefits begin at the start of the next statement, but the increased annual fee won't hit until the next card-member year starts.



Aviator Silver Vs Red
Annual Fee: Silver $199 Red $99
Miles on AA Purchases: Silver 3x Red 2x
Miles on hotels and car rentals: Silver 2x, Red 1x
Miles on all other purchases: Silver 1x, Red 1x

Where are my loyalty points with barclays aviator credit card

I should have +7,000 loyalty points posted to my AAdvantage account. I paid my monthly credit card bill over 2 weeks ago. I got my AAdvantage miles posted 2 weeks ago but no loyalty points. In the past I would get my loyalty points at the same time I got my miles in my AAdvantage account shortly after paying my monthly credit card bill. I have made numerous calls and emails to both Barclays and American with no loyalty points added to my AAdvantage account. Are others seeing the same thing ? It seems after March 1, 2024 I am no longer earning loyalty points with my Barclays Aviator credit card. I'm getting ready to cancel the account.
