Why Choose It

The Citi AAdvantage Business Card is ideal for small business owners who frequently fly American Airlines and incur steady expenses like telecom bills and travel. With double miles in common categories, preferred boarding, inflight discounts, and 65,000 bonus miles, American loyalists will easily offset the $99 annual fee after the first year. While the perks specifically target AA patrons, any business with employees on-the-go can rack up easy free travel. As long as your staff travels American Airlines routinely throughout the year, this card amplifies those frequent flyer benefits.
