    Editorial take: Atmos Rewards Summit Visa Infinite Card

    Editorial take: Citi / AAdvantage Executive World Elite Mastercard

    Pure Admirals Club access card. If you spend more than ~$850/year on lounge passes or visit AA hubs frequently, the $595 fee is a layup. The 2024 refresh added ~$360/year in Lyft/Grubhub/Avis credits that often go unclaimed, plus the free checked bag for 9 travelers is undersold for family travelers.
