Updated 7/8/24 at 7:40am PT: The American Airlines referral miles from the recent referral promo posted on my July statement.  If you had any eligible referrals, you should see that on your July statement too.

Good evening everyone, I hope you had a great weekend.  2 days ago, Barclays Announces JetBlue Plus Credit Card Referral Offer, Earn up to 50K Points.  Barclays wasn’t done with the referral offers since they just sent out emails to cardholders of the Barclays AAdvantage Aviator Red Credit Card (referral link) announcing a new referral offer where you can earn 10,000 American Airlines Miles per referral, up to 50,000 miles per calendar year.  If you have this credit card, check your email for this offer (it may be targeted).  If you didn’t receive the email, you can still log into your Barclays online account and see if you are eligible for this referral offer.  If you want to share your AAdvantage Aviator Red Credit Card referral link, please post your referral link in the comments section for other readers to use.

Here are the terms and conditions of the referral program, from the bottom of the email:

Existing AAdvantage® Aviator® Red World Elite Mastercard cardmembers will receive 10,000 AAdvantage® bonus miles for up to 5 friends who apply for a AAdvantage® Aviator® Red World Elite Mastercard using the personalized referral link by July 01, 2024 (“Promotion End Date”) and are approved. A maximum of 50,000 AAdvantage® bonus miles can be earned through this offer per calendar year. To be eligible to receive AAdvantage® bonus miles, the cardmember’s account must be open, active, and in good standing until AAdvantage® bonus miles are awarded. Bonus AAdvantage ® bonus miles may take up to 6-8 weeks from July 01, 2024 to appear on your statement. Cardmembers understand and agree that any individuals referred must be a new AAdvantage® Aviator® Red World Elite Mastercard customer and must apply through the personalized link shared through social media or text message for you to receive the AAdvantage® bonus miles. By sending this link via text message, you are confirming that you, as an existing cardmember, have consent to send text messages to each recipient. This offer is available only to applicants who are residents of the United States, with the exception of the US territories. Due to the confidential nature of the credit approval process, cardmembers will not be notified of application status, or whether we approve or decline any application(s) from any individual(s) you refer. Only the cardmember intended to receive this email will receive AAdvantage® bonus miles. Any AAdvantage® bonus miles will not be awarded on any application that results from a forwarded email. We reserve the right to alter, change or terminate the referral program at any time without notice. The total rewards you may earn from all programs and/or offers from Barclays associated with any product(s) you may have (including but not limited to, Barclays credit card(s), personal loan(s), and deposit account(s)) may qualify as miscellaneous income and could require Barclays to send you a Form 1099-MISC (Miscellaneous Income) and file it with the IRS for the year in which you participate and are awarded rewards from any program(s). The cardmember is responsible for any applicable taxes or tax liability; if you have any questions regarding the contents of Form 1099-MISC or how it may affect your taxes, please consult with a personal tax advisor. We reserve the right to disqualify or terminate any cardmember from participation in the referral program in the event of fraud, abuse of program privileges, or violation of the Terms as determined at our discretion, which may result in the forfeiture of any accumulated referral bonuses. Account closure or suspension may result in the loss of any referral bonuses that haven’t been applied to your account.

If you are targeted for the referral offer, you can find your referral link by signing into your Barclays online account, selecting your AAdvantage Aviator Red Credit Card, clicking the Offers tab, and then clicking the Select Offer link for the Referral Offer.

Here is your AAdvantage Aviator Red Credit Card referral link.  Any referrals you earn by July 1 will post to your American Airlines account 6-8 weeks after July 1.  The terms and conditions above state that you may receive a 1099-MISC tax form from Barclays, so keep that in mind.

Here is the landing page for the Barclays AAdvantage Aviator Red Credit Card (referral link).  I believe this is the same sign up bonus offer that is currently available.  You can get 60,000 American Airlines Miles after your first purchase plus an extra 10,000 American Airlines Miles after you add an authorized user and they make their first purchase, all within 90 days.  Sign up bonuses don’t get much easier than that!

Once you’ve had the AAdvantage Aviator Red for a few months, you may also be targeted for an upgrade offer to the AAdvantage Aviator Silver.  If you are eligible for the upgrade offer, you will see it listed under the Offers tab.

I don’t fly American Airlines enough to justify upgrading to the AAdvantage Aviator Silver, but here are the perks of the credit card, along with the $199 annual fee.
