If you’re a small business owner who’s loyal to American Airlines, then you might be interested in this card. You’ll earn decent rewards off American Airlines and common business expenses, with double miles on AA, office supply, telecom and car rental purchases, and a 5% mileage bonus every year after your account anniversary.
You’ll also enjoy preferred boarding and one free checked bag for you and up to four companions and a 25% discount on eligible inflight purchases. If you hit certain spend thresholds, you’ll receive Elite Qualifying Dollars and a $99 companion certificate.
But if you’re not big on American Airlines, or you don’t fly too often, consider a non-branded rewards card instead.
