Our take

The MileUp is the no-annual-fee entry point to American Airlines AAdvantage, earning 2 miles per dollar at grocery stores and on eligible American Airlines purchases. That makes it a reasonable way to keep an AAdvantage balance growing without paying a fee. The welcome bonus is modest at 15,000 miles after $500 in spending in the first three months. The tradeoffs are real: everything else earns just 1 mile per dollar, there is a foreign transaction fee, and the only travel perk is 25% off inflight food and beverages. It works for occasional American flyers who want miles on groceries, but frequent flyers will want a card with more travel benefits.
