Welcome. But if you beat me out for an upgrade next year, we’ll have words :)

AA shopping portal. Do those high bonus ones that’s for subscriptions. Read the fine print. Usually you can discontinue after your first month before it charges you more.

Don’t know if this applies to you, but if you spend $40k on the Executive World Elite Mastercard (the black one that grants access to Admiral’s Club) in a calendar year, you get 10k bonus loyalty points on top of the points for base spending.

Use simplymiles (you can get 465 miles just from an Uber ride), AAdvantage eshopping, and AAdvantage dining. You can buy $2,000/month in Visa or MC gift cards through giftcard.com via AAdvantage eshopping and get 3 miles/$. Signing up for things like Motley Fool (as high as 7,500 miles/loyalty points though AAdvantage eshopping), Wall Street Journal, and MarketWatch can yield points that are worth more than what you’re paying for the subscription (and then cancel before it renews).

Newbie looking for advice.

I currently have the CSP card (have for just over a year). I’m looking to get another CC to get a signup bonus but not sure which one to get. I don’t eat out a ton but do frequent chipotle a couple times per week (don’t judge 😂). I plan on doing a few international trips next year, hopefully with United/Star Alliance network. Should I get a United CC or something else? Or should I consider more than one? If so, any ideas?
