What you’re probably missing
These miles only fly one airline
Everything this card earns is locked to AA. Bilt Rewards transfers to AA too — earning there keeps every other airline on the table at the same time.
Your AA miles are worth 0.7¢ or 4¢ — depending on you
Dynamic AAnytime awards sits at 0.7¢ per mile; Flagship / partner business via web specials pays 4¢. Same miles, 6x difference.
A $595 fee only makes sense if you work the credits
Premium cards front-load statement credits that lapse if unused. If you're not actively tracking activation deadlines and credit calendars, you may be paying more than you're getting back.
The value spread on your points
Maximized play: Flagship / partner business via web specials.
