Barclays Aviator Red Card 75,000 Miles Bonus
Barclays is offering the best ever bonus for the AAdvantage Aviator Red World Elite Mastercard. Joe once called it the worst card he has. But, whether you like the card or not, there’s no denying that this is one of the easiest bonuses out there. You can get 75,000 miles with just two purchases, or maybe just one. Let’s check the details.

Conclusion
This is a great offer, and the highest ever mile bonus we have seen for this credit card. You can earn 60,000 miles when you make a purchase and pay the annual fee. You get another 15,000 miles when you add an authorized user and make one purchase. If you do your first purchase with the authorized user card, that could trigger both parts of the bonus.
The previous highest offer was for 60,000 miles with a waived annual fee, or 70,000 with the $99 annual fee not waived.
If you recently applied for the lesser bonus, send a message to ask to be matched to this increased offer. It’s not guaranteed, but it’s worth a try.
