Thinking of getting some more AA miles. Which would you choose?

- Citi biz AA plat 75k SUB (ends in a few days). $5k/5 months and AF waived in year 1.

- Barclays AA personal 70k SUB. Just needs 1 purchase + pay the annual fee.

First one is nice because it won't impact 5/24 and it's "free" if I decide to cancel after a year. Just need to apply in the next 3 days. The second one will go away soon, probably later this year, so it's a chance to get a SUB while the card is still around.

Porque no los dos?

Barclays AA is going away so might as well grab it.

I need to preserve 5/24 slots to re-sign up fr Chase Sapphire, so would choose the biz. Otherwise would do Barclays because you get the points more quickly.
