Quick Thoughts
This looks like a nice and easy offer to grab status if you don’t currently have any with American. While AA’s Gold status isn’t the most rewarding, it provides Oneworld Ruby and normally requires 25,000 EQM’s and $3,000 in EQDs. Being able to get that for spending just $6,000 on a credit card is a pretty sweet deal. Here are the benefits of AA Gold from AA’s site:
AAdvantage Gold
- Complimentary auto-requested upgrades on flights 500 miles or less
- 24-hour upgrade window
- 40% elite mileage bonus
- 50% off main cabin extra seats (complimentary at check-in
- Complimentary preferred seats
- 1 free checked bag
