AAdvantage Aviator Red MC 15000 Bonus Miles Offer
And I haven't spent much either so thought I would be targeted.

I wonder if it is that or if it is also tied to one's anniversary date to entice the cardholder to keep their card. I only just started using the card again in June because of the 50% bonus. And since my anniversary month is July, I won't get the 15k bonus until I actually keep the card and pay the annual fee.

So I didn't see any relationship in the 15000 bonus to the anniversary date in the past. (Keep in mind that this targeted 15000 bonus isn't new to the Aviator card; it existed back in the days of it being a US Airways card, and that's when the examples I mentioned above came from.)

From https://creditboards.com/forums/inde...owtopic=545669 , it looks like you can try:
offers.barclaycardus.com/p/Barclaycard/EMQ32015spend?EMAIL_ADDR=<YOUR_EMAIL>&APRIMO_ID=&F NAME=&LNAME=&ACCOUNT_ID=&BGI_EARN_AMT=&ASSOCIATION =&BGI_REWARDS=&LAST4=&BRAND=&MARKETING_CELL=&PARTY _ID=&CAMPAIGNID=&ep_mid=114953504&ep_rid=172069904 5
with your email replacing <YOUR_EMAIL>. But like someone mentioned in the other thread, the confirmation email doesn't know your credit card number, so I don't think this works.

Maybe this is crazy - but is it possible that Barclays is targeting those who have a citi credit card open too? Barclays does soft pulls on my credit once every few months. They wouldn't be able to see if it was an aa card but wouldn't they be able to see the bank??

I read that citi has a similar targeted promotion for its aa card.

Do you have a link to where you read about it?

I don't know that I'd call it similar - max of 2500 bonus miles there. The Barclays one is 6x that.

You were replying to a post about 15000 bonus miles for 3 months of $500 spend, and you said that Citi has a similar targeted promotion, but then the link you provided was for a promotion similar to Barclay's smaller grocery/drug/electronics promo with a 2500 bonus miles cap.
