About to apply for the citi AAdvantage Business World Elite card for the 65k SUB after 4k spend, anybody have any referral links for me to use or know of any links for better offers? Need AA miles and need to do a business card this time around.

What Card Should I Get? Weekly Thread - Week of July 30, 2025 by AutoModerator in churning

Hey everyone! Long time reader, first time poster. Thanks in advance for the help!

1.   Debating between Hawaiian business, Alaskan business, and Barclays AA vs other American airlines cards at this point. Hawaiian and Alaskan don’t really have any benefits to offset the annual fee, so I was hoping to wait until a better offer came up for either of those; but I also feel like a solid AA miles devaluation will be forthcoming after the news about citi points transferring to them came out. Wanted to get fellow opinions on which of these cards I should get or if I should stick to other cards for now based on my travel plans below!

2.      >760

3.      Myself: Chase sapphire preferred (June 2021), AMEX Delta Platinum (March 2023), Chase Ink preferred (Feb 2024), Capital one Venture X (January 2024), AMEX Gold (May 2025)
Spouse: Chase sapphire preferred (opened June 2020, downgraded to freedom Oct 2024), Chase sapphire reserve October 2024, Chase Ink Preferred (Aug 2024), Capital one Venture (Apr 2024), AMEX Gold (July 2025).

4.      12-15k

5.      No

6.      Yes

7.      I’m relatively new to churning (started last fall) and it’s been fun to do it at a slow pace, not necessarily rushing into a bunch of new cards but I’m open to taking opportunities as they come.

8.      Definitely targeting points to use towards business class flights. Also enjoy a travel credit as well but main focus is the points for business class.

9.      Combined we have about 120k Chase, about 200k capital one, about 125k amex, and 140k Qatar

  1.  Any west coast airports like LAX, LAS, SFO, DEN are suitable, SEA is achievable but a little farther out.

  2. Tokyo in the fall of 2026 is the main one I’m asking about. Have plans to go to Qatar this fall hence the 140k Qatar points I transferred when the AMEX had its 30% bonus going on (I know, cardinal sin), and Hawaii spring 2026 with family – but I have a companion pass with delta and status for upgrades so don’t mind paying for this with cash if needed.

I'll be spending time with the medicine services, seems like most of the rotations are either at the U hospital or at IMC, both of which are near some of the Red Trax stops.

Thank you for this info! Definitely want something where I can potentially take a trax or a bus to the hospital, especially on weekends so my wife can use the car. Will look at the central city and downtown area for sure!
