Barclaycard has had a long-running bonus offer for their AAdvantage Aviator Red card that offers 60,000 miles after your first purchase and payment of the $95 annual fee. Going with a travel blogging cliché, this could be as little as a $0.79 pack of gum. This is quite the haul of miles for $95 and change.
Barclaycard introduces an AA business credit card
Now there is a similar offer out for Barclcaycard’s brand new AAdvantage Aviator Business Mastercard! We do not receive a commission if you’re approved for this card through this offer. Like the personal Aviator Red, the card bonus of 40,000 miles is awarded after the first purchase. The annual fee is the same at $95. Sure, it’s fewer miles, but considering that you should be getting roughly a cent and a half out of your AA miles, the bonus is worth ~$600.
Here are some of the features of the card:
- 2x miles on American Airlines purchases
- 2x miles at office supply, telecom, and car rental merchants
- 5% anniversary mileage bonus on the total number of miles you earn each year
- First checked bag free
- A $99 companion certificate after $30,000 in purchases
Even though 5% bonus is rather meager, the annual bonus is a neat feature. You would effectively earn 2.1 miles on the 2x categories, which is decent.
The companion certificate is a neat benefit. You’ll pay $99 + taxes (roughly $130 total) to fly a companion on your same paid itinerary. However, it’s a little more restrictive than the similar Alaska certificate as you are limited to the 48 contiguous states rather than the whole network.
Conclusion
If you’re in the market for another business credit card, this may be a great option!

Does Barkley report business cards to your credit report. I would like to apply for this card. I have for months only applied for Amex and BOA business cards trying to get under 5/24 so I can renew my Southwest Companion Pass.
I’ve seen mixed reports on this, so unless someone else weighs in, I probably wouldn’t risk it if you’re trying to get the CP
Thanks for the warning. Long term 5/24 feels like being kept after school for a month looking out the window at the kids in the playground.
