Domestic checked bag free via AA credit card, how about intl flights?

Does AA credit card only have domestic(Usa) checked bag for free?

​​​​​​Researching AA and United as Alternative for delta, saw the fine print and any one has insight?

I believe delta and United card covers intl flights checked bags....

Thanjs

Domestic only. I suspect that this includes Canada and Mexico but I'm not sure.

Most long haul destinations get a free checked bag anyway, except for BE to some destinations, so it would only make a difference in a few situations.

The policy is here: https://www.aa.com/i18n/travel-info/...age-policy.jsp

A friend of mine found out the hard way that the free checked bag does not apply to flights to Mexico.

Thanks.

So United and delta seems basic economy will get free bag intl with credit card....

I am evaluating potentially ditch delta duamond/platinum and compare United or AA and every penny counts....

2 checked bags are free for AAdvantage Platinum or above, which is about as easy to earn on AA as Delta Silver.
