Update 8/16/25: Calling in method to get 70,000 miles no longer works, I think that makes it more likely this end date is accurate.
According to a reddit user in a now deleted post the Barclays American Airlines card will be discontinued to new sign ups 0n 9/30.
Barclays will stop offering the AAdvantage Aviator Red Mastercard on 9/30. The current 50k sign on bonus with no annual fee will be the final opening bonus offer the card will offer before closing for good.
Their source for this information is as follows:
My brother works as a FA for the airline and sent me screenshots of the internal comms. Given the sensitive nature of the screenshots, I’m not going to post it here but I will pass the word along
If true I suspect we will get confirmation sooner rather than later. The public sign up bonus is 50,000 points but it is possible to get 70,000 points by calling in 866-951-7197.
