Do people recommend the AA credit card if you live in a AA hub (DFW, Charlotte, etc.)? Feel like the $99 bucks for preferred seating is worth it especially for international travel but it’s also American and don’t know if people have had bad experience with it. Solely wanting it for benefits not to use and to gain some status. Feedback appreciated!

If you check a bag it usually pays for itself. I wasn’t aware it came with preferred seating, I thought just propriety boarding but I could be wrong

If you want upgrades cause Of preferred seating ive found it’s better if your airport isn’t a hub actually. I fly delta but live in denver, get upgraded on probably 75% of my flights

Not really sure what you’re saying, you won’t get upgraded without status and preferred seats are normal seats that are closer to the front on AA, they carry zero benefit.

PwC gives us free Gold which already covers a lot of the benefits.

Preferred seating isn’t worth anything. Only benefit would be checked bag and I guess group 5 boarding.

If you’re committed to AA and it’s your go to when booking, the card is worth it because the dollars you spend go towards accumulating miles and and count as “elite qualifying dollars” which contribute to status that brings more benefits

I'm early in my career, managed to save $30K to invest, and want to get my hands dirty with a rental property without too much risk (e.g. no HML/flipping).

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
