If you grabbed a ton of American Airline miles here, you’ll obviously want to use them at some point. Before you do, make sure you check out Reduced Mileage Award tickets here. Why pay retail when you can get sale prices?
Tip When Churning Cards
Make your life easier. Always talk to a representative when activating any new credit card. Confirm (1) The amount of bonus miles you’ll be receiving, (2) How much money you need to spend, and (3) The date you need to spend it by. Trust me on this. You’ll be in much better shape with any disagreements if you handle them at activation.
Southwest Airlines Card – 2 Free Round-Trips
Great Southwest credit card offer to report!
I’d still get the Sapphire card first (click here for the credit card page) but they’re both great choices. If you haven’t applied for a Chase card in the last 30 days, you should grab one of these. Here’s the details:
- 50,000 points (enough for 2 Wanna Get Away round-trips)
- 6,000 points on every anniversary date (equal to $100 towards Wanna Get Away fares)
- Annual fee of $99 is not waived

“Cancelling” Your Citi American Airlines Card
If you have the personal Visa or Amex I talked about here, you’ve already picked up at least 75,000 American Airlines miles. Here’s a quick way to grab a few more:
Call the number on the back of the credit card. Tell them you want to cancel because of annual fees or better miles on another card. They will immediately transfer you to the retention department and offer you a deal. My deal was an $85 statement credit and 750 extra miles per month (for 12 months). Give it a shot and see what you can get!
