I have CSR and AmEx Platinum. I’m thinking of getting an airline card like AA to take advantage of airlines miles etc. Any suggestions on which CC to consider adding to my portfolio with low annual fees and great perks? Thanks!

I’d do Citi AA & Barclays AA card for the Sign up bonus, dump both after a year and keep one for the free checked bag if you need it.
Or get an Amex gold for the sign up bonus and keep for the 4x points on restaurant and grocery

What airline do you fly?

I usually bank most of my credit card airline miles in foreign alliance carriers of my main airline (oneworld, SA, Skyteam). That way can use foreign carrier sweet spots but take advantage of my elite status…

I’d also consider BA from chase (they do 100k signups sometimes and great use of Avios for short haul AA awards, plus the Alaska 70k BofA). But logically if you don’t have it Barclays
Or citi AA card comes first).

Lmao portfolio…

Lmao it is a portfolio brah! CC points are my only hedge right now!
