Datapoints:
There is a $90 AF and one cannot earn the 90K in one year unless one does $25K spending.
Best way to add to initial purchase bonus of 20K is to add AUs (and quite a few of them, too!).

I liked it better with 50,000 miles with $2,5K spend.

Do you know if I can redeem on Delta/Aeroflot codeshare? Or specifically how much will it cost for JFK-SVO-EVN route?
Does this card have free museum entrance perks, what my friends brag they have on their BOA cards?
Thanks

LOL. You sound like me. My first statement hasn't closed yet but I'm maxed on my BBs / Serve for the month. I'm going to do the 15K spend for the 7.5K annual bonus. Was thinking about shooting for 25K for the second 7.5K bonus but it doesn't really seem like it's worth it. Have 11K on the 15K spend. You shooting for 12, 15, or 25?

Are the 7.5k bonus awarded the same statement you meet the 15k spend? Or do you wait till he 1 year anniversary.

+1. Has anyone successfully gotten through to someone who knows what the hell they're doing?

I called the number on the back of my AS Visa and was given the number 1 866 751 1257 for reconsideration.

I call that number, pressed 3 the third time for "Application Status", and only automated.

Called back, tried number 1 for "open a card". Asked agent about a reconsideration and she told me the only way to process a reconsideration is through WRITTEN MAIL? What the actual F.

Please tell me this isn't true...

You need to call the Spanish line. It's somewhere here on FlyerTalk. That's how I was able to get approved for this card.

I'm confused with earning on this card - it is supposed to be 1.5pts/$1 for general spending. For some reason, I got only 1pt/$1 according to my purchases during my last statement. Does anybody see the same?

There are two versions of the card. The Black card earns 1.5 miles per dollar; the White card earns 1 mile per dollar. If you have the Black card it is possible that it is mis-coded.

Thanks, mia. My card is the Black one. I even getting 1 tier point/$2.5K spending (which is only a feature of the black card).
