american airlines advantage rewards

rbs mastercard used to give airmiles on aa through airline's advantage scheme. now this has been canned, does anybody know best uk card to get miles on aa.
i clear my account monthly, so no/low annual fee is more important than interest rate.

Citi used to be the main card provider in the UK to do this. That card ended on December 31. In the letter I got they did say that a new provider will launch another card in the UK. Not heard anything yet.

I don't know if it works with the credit card but AA and BA are in the same airline alliance. I know if you have an AA loyalty card you can earn points on BA flights - so you could look into seeing if getting a BA credit card instead would work?

You can convert tesco clubcard points into airmiles, check the tesco clubcard credit card out its pretty good for clubcard points and purchases!

You'll find it's not "free". Taxes etc have to be paid.

American Airlines Credit Card coming "soon"
