US Top News and Analysis | CNBC Points Pro: How to maximize your American Airlines credit card

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

The article answers a reader’s question about getting the most out of a Citi AAdvantage credit card by outlining practical ways to stretch miles: book flexible travel dates, as Tuesday‑Wednesday flights often have lower award prices than weekend flights, and consider partner airlines for fixed‑price awards. A big welcome bonus is the fastest way to accumulate miles, with current offers of 50,000–70,000 bonus miles after meeting spending thresholds, so monitoring promotions is key. While buying miles is usually not cost‑effective, it can make sense if you’re just short of a needed amount for a high‑value redemption. The author also recommends using Citi’s ThankYou Rewards cards (e.g., Strata Premier) to earn points that transfer 1:1 to AAdvantage, often yielding more miles than the co‑branded card’s modest 2X earn rate, and suggests pairing no‑annual‑fee Citi cash‑back cards (Double Cash, Custom Cash) for broader earning power. Overall, flexibility, leveraging large sign‑up bonuses, and funneling points through versatile Citi cards are the most efficient strategies for maximizing American Airlines mileage.

Weekly output: Pope Leo XIV on AI, American Airlines + Starlink, Taara photonics, New Glenn explosion, way less Waymo

I did not see Project Hail Mary as soon as possible, but I did see it tonight and am very glad that I did, If you haven’t watched that movie, please do so while it’s still available on a big screen at a theater near you.

Patreon readers got an extra post Saturday inspired by a different sort of larger-than-life multimedia experience, seeing Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at Nats Park Wednesday: a recap of the few years when I had “concert reviewer” as a low-paying, in-house side hustle at the Washington Post.

5/25/2026: Pope Leo XIV: Unchecked AI Development Risks Building a New Tower of Babel, PCMag

I spent much of Monday morning reading the pope’s encyclical about AI, then spent much of the afternoon writing a post unpacking that lengthy document for PCMag readers. Yes, Monday was a holiday, but as somebody brought up Catholic who then went to a Jesuit university, I felt like I had to do this work.

5/26/2026: American Airlines Will Switch to Starlink for Now, But Only on Airbus Narrowbodies, PCMag

American’s press release about this coming upgrade to the WiFi on part of its fleet left multiple questions unanswered, so I was glad that a publicist for AA fielded my questions as quickly as she did.

5/29/2026: Taara CEO: Our free-space optics links go where fiber won’t, Light Reading

I sat down with Mahesh Krishnaswamy, founder and CEO of this Alphabet moonshot offshoot, at the start of a busy day at Web Summit Vancouver two weeks ago. A small part of that conversation surfaced in a piece I did for PCMag about photonics that itself began with a trip to San Jose for NTT Research’s Upgrade conference there in mid April (with NTT covering my travel costs), but the rest had to wait for this piece. That, in turn,  required me to have some downtime in which to write it, and as you may have noticed May was another ridiculous month for travel.

5/29/2026: Blue Origin’s New Glenn Rocket Explodes Spectacularly During Ground Test, PCMag

This is an outright disaster, and not just for Blue–if you want to see SpaceX get some competition for satellite-to-phone data, fast inflight WiFi and a return of American astronauts to the Moon’s surface, New Glenn would have been at least helpful if not outright essential. Blue not only has to figure out what went wrong with its heavy-lift rocket and fix that, it also has to either rebuild the launch complex mostly destroyed by this explosion or speed up construction of the second pad it has planned.

5/29/2026: Waymo Halts Freeway Operations, Stops Service in Some Cities Without Clearly Communicating What’s Up, PCMag

I had missed covering Waymo ending freeway service because that happened when I was flying home from Google I/O, but after seeing how badly that company had informed customers about that cutback in service and its suspensions of all service in some cities, I realized I had a broader piece to write.
