New 90,000-mile offer by Sean Cudahy, Senior Aviation Reporter American Airlines' lineup of credit cards just got a whole lot more interesting. This week, the airline unveiled a brand-new (and badly needed) middle-of-the-road card that can get you into its airport lounges a few times a year and save you some serious cash. Meet the Citi®/AAdvantage® Globe™ Mastercard®.  For a limited time, new cardholders can earn 90,000 AAdvantage miles after spending $5,000 or more during the first four months. That's worth $1,395, according to TPG's October 2025 valuations. With both the perks and its $350 annual fee, this card is American's bridge between its pricier premium card and its less expensive one meant for less frequent travelers. And it has me seriously thinking about upgrading from the oldest card in my wallet. The AAdvantage Globe card offers a few all-new perks that are different from any benefits American currently offers on its existing cards: Admirals Club access: Get four 24-hour passes each year. Companion Certificate: Once a year (as long as you keep renewing your account) you can bring a companion on a qualifying flight for just $99 (plus taxes and fees). Limited to Main Cabin on domestic American flights. Flight Streak: A new twist! After every four qualifying American flights, cardholders will earn 5,000 Loyalty Points toward AAdvantage elite status. You're limited to three "boosts" annually — but that's a solid boost toward status. Plus, you can get your TSA PreCheck or Global Entry application fee reimbursed, score a free checked bag, and board American's planes earlier than the masses. Check out our full rundown of all the card details to see if it deserves a place in your wallet.
