American Airlines AAdvantage MileUp Mastercard
15,000 miles welcome · 2x on groceries · $0 annual fee
The AAdvantage MileUp is the no-annual-fee entry point into American Airlines miles, earning 2 miles per dollar at grocery stores and on eligible American Airlines purchases. The 15,000-mile welcome bonus after just $500 in spend within three months is small but easy to reach. The tradeoffs are real: everything else earns only 1 mile per dollar, and the card charges foreign transaction fees, which is an odd fit for an airline card. The only listed perk is 25% off inflight food and beverage purchases on American flights, so it skips the checked-bag benefits travelers typically want from an airline card. It earns a spot on our Best Airline Credit Cards list as a low-cost way to keep AAdvantage miles trickling in, but frequent American flyers will likely want a card with more travel perks.
