I Downgraded My AAdvantage Aviator Red World Elite MasterCardTo The Secret No Fee Option

Just under a year ago, I got the AAdvantage Aviator World Elite MasterCard with a 60,000 American AAdvantage Miles.

Fast forward, the $95 fee on the card is due this month.  I have not touched since spending the initial money to secure the bonus.

I called Barclaycard and we were able to downgrade my card to a no fee AAdvantage Aviator World Elite MasterCard (without the “Red”), a card not available to the public, but only offered as a downgrade.  Don’t forget, downgrading is a good alternative to canceling a card and I have done it quite often.
