The AAdvantage program is revered among points and miles enthusiasts for its cheap award tickets<\/a><\/span>, generous partner availability<\/a><\/span> and extensive domestic route map.<\/p>\n

Whether you’re an American Airlines<\/a><\/span> enthusiast or a traveler who flies often with its partners, it may be worth considering Citi\u00ae \/ AAdvantage\u00ae Globe\u2122 Mastercard\u00ae<\/a><\/span> (see rates and fees<\/a><\/span>).<\/p>\n
