Hello there! Ready to take control of your American Airlines credit card account online? Managing your credit card is a smart move to track your spending, view statements, pay bills, and even redeem those valuable AAdvantage® miles. Let's get you logged in, step by step!
Navigating Your American Airlines Credit Card Login
Before we dive into the specific steps, it's important to understand that your American Airlines credit card is typically issued by a banking partner, primarily Citi or Barclays (for Aviator cards). This means you'll generally log in through their respective banking portals, not directly on the American Airlines website for managing your card details, although your AAdvantage® number will link your card activity to your mileage account on aa.com.
Step 1: Identify Your Card Issuer and Head to the Right Portal
Ah, the first crucial step! Do you know who issued your American Airlines credit card? This is the most common point of confusion.
Is it a Citi® / AAdvantage® Card? If so, you'll be logging into the Citi website.
Is it an AAdvantage® Aviator® Card (e.g., Aviator Red, Silver, Blue)? If so, you'll be logging into the Barclays Aviator Mastercard website.
Take a moment to check your card if you're unsure. The issuer's logo is usually on the back, or sometimes subtly on the front. Once you know, proceed to the correct sub-step below.
Step 2: Accessing the Login Page
Now that you've identified your card issuer, let's get you to the correct login page.
Sub-heading 2.1: For Citi® / AAdvantage® Cardholders
Open your web browser: Launch your preferred internet browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, etc.).

Next, type in your password. Remember, passwords are always case-sensitive. If you have caps lock on by mistake, it can prevent you from logging in. Some sites offer a "show password" option (often an eye icon) which can be helpful for double-checking your entry in a secure environment.
