|
American Airlines Executive. 10,000 QM with $40,000 spend. $450 annual fee, includes Admiral Club Access. | |
|
American Airlines Aviator Business. No qualifying miles, but $3,000 elite qualifying dollars with $25,000 of spend in a calendar year. | |
|
American Airlines Aviator Silver. Earns 5,000 QMs with each $20,000 of credit card spending, up to a maximum of 10,000 QMs ($40,000 of spend). $50,000 of spending also earns $3,000 “qualifying dollars”. $195 annual fee. You can't apply for the card directly; you need to start with the Aviator Red and upgrade. | |
|
Delta Platinum. Earns 10,000 QMs with each $25,000 of credit card spend, up to a maximum of 20,000 miles ($50,000 of spend). You might get additional QMs as part of the signup bonus. $25,000 of spending waives normal “qualifying dollar” requirements, for all but the highest level of status. If you get both the business and the personal versions, you can earn a total of 40,000 qualifying miles each year, and you can also earn additional QMs from the Delta Reserve cards. But you can't earn QMs from multiple versions of the exact same card. Unlike the Reserve version, your bonus qualifying miles can NOT be transferred to another account. $250 annual fee, includes companion certificate. | |
|
Delta Reserve. Earns 15,000 QMs with each $30,000 of credit card spend, up to a maximum of 60,000 QMs ($120,000 of spend). You might get additional QMs as part of the signup bonus. $25,000 of spending waives the normal “qualifying dollar” requirements, for all but the highest level of status. You can earn additional QMs from both the personal and the business versions of the Delta Platinum cards and the Delta Reserve cards. But you can't earn QMs from multiple versions of the exact same card. You can also transfer the bonus qualifying miles to another user's account, allowing a couple to build up large amounts of qualifying miles in a single member's account. $550 annual fee, includes SkyClub access and a companion certificate. | |
|
Southwest Premier. Earns 1,500 QMs with each $10,000 in spending, up to maximum of 15,000 qualifying miles ($100,000 of spend). You can also earn additional QMs from the business version of the card. $99 annual fee. | |
|
United Executive / United Club. United credit cards don't earn any qualifying miles, but in 2019, $25,000 in spending waives the normal “qualifying dollar” requirements for all but the highest level of status. $95 annual fee. You get the same benefit with the premium United Club card. In 2020, you only earn 500 qualifying dollars for every $12,000 you spend (up to a total of 1,000 qualifying miles), rather than waiving the dollar requirement. | |
|
JetBlue. Earns Mosaic status with $50,000 of credit card spending (but you won’t get the normal 15,000-point bonus that you earn when you qualify the normal way). $99 annual fee. | |
|
Air France KLM. 60 XP (Experience Points) upon approval, plus 20 XP each anniversary year that you spend at least $15,000. | |
