Is the Card Worth It After the 1st Year Sign Up Bonus?

Annual fee of $99 in exchange for free first checked bag on domestic itineraries and preferred boarding. If you are flying with American Airlines at least once a year, this card is worth it. American Airlines charges $40 for the 1st checked bag ($35 if you pay online) for one way.

$40 x 2 one way = $80 for round trip x 2 person = $160 baggage fee for one round trip for 2 people.

The $99 annual fee more than pay for this 1 round trip baggage fee for 2 people.

Notes

• You pay nothing if you cancel after the 1st year. The $99 annual fee starts on the second year.
