Yes, you do get free checked bags with several American Airlines credit cards: The Citi® / AAdvantage® Executive World Elite Mastercard®, the Citi® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® World Elite Mastercard® and the CitiBusiness® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® Mastercard®, plus the American Airlines AAdvantage® Aviator™ Red Credit Card, the American Airlines AAdvantage® Aviator™ Silver Credit Card and the American Airlines AAdvantage® Aviator™ Business Credit Card. All of those American Airlines cards offer at least one free checked bag when traveling on a domestic itinerary operated by American Airlines.
For all but two of the cards, the benefit covers the primary cardholder and up to 4 other guests on the same reservation. Citi AAdvantage Executive Card and AAdvantage Aviator Silver give one free checked bag for the primary cardholder and up to 8 guests on the same reservation.
You don’t have to pay for your flight with an American Airlines credit card to get the free checked bag, but your account must be open at least seven days prior to the date of your flight in order to be eligible. All American Airlines credit cards that offer a free checked bag also give at least 2 miles / $1 you spend on American Airlines purchases, including airfare.
