[quote=Anonymous]Well, I'd get both!

I hate AA but in your case it probably makes sense to fly them. I'm only living in the area for a year and I came from a city that's a Delta hub, and I hate the fact that Delta just doesn't have much of a presence here. I have the Delta card for the free bags, but I also have the Chase Sapphire Reserve Card.

I don't know much about this AA card but if it's an AMEX, you're going to have big issues using it overseas as a LOT of places just don't accept them. That's where my Chase Sapphire (visa) comes in -- no foreign transaction fees, I get the lounge access, and other good benefits.

I will say that domestically, the lounges you have access to with the Chase card (Priority Pass) suck -- big time. I have yet to go to one that's good, domestically. Locally, it gets you into a small lounge at BWI (that's probably the best one and that's saying a lot), DCA you get credit for food at a restaurant, which was pretty good but they're so busy! and at IAD, again it's a restaurant. Both were decent, but it's not a lounge.

Overseas, it's hit or miss. I've been to some really nice ones, but I've also been to some crappy ones too.

I also have a Amex Platiumn card that gets me into the Delta Sky clubs and Centurion lounges which are much, much nicer than the domestic priority pass lounges. [/quote]
