This document contains the official Reward Rules for the

®
Aviator™ Red MasterCard

issued by Barclays Bank Delaware (Barclaycard) and includes
important conditions and limitations (the “Reward Rules”).
AAdvantage
®
is a frequent flyer program offered by American
Airlines (the “Program”) and is not a product or program
of Barclaycard. American Airlines is solely responsible for
establishing the terms and conditions of your participation and
mileage accumulation in the Program. Terms and conditions of
the Program are published by American Airlines at aa.com and
American Airlines reserves the right to change the Program at
any time with or without prior notice.
Use of your Account constitutes your acceptance of each
of the terms described below and the terms of the
Cardmember Agreement. Capitalized terms not defined in
these Reward Rules have the meaning ascribed to them in the
Cardmember Agreement.
Reward Rules Administration
The Reward Rules are administered by Barclays Bank Delaware

the Program and to maintain your good standing:
You must maintain an open and active Account that is not in
default under your Cardmember Agreement with us.
Your Account cannot have been inactive for 6 billing cycles in a

other entities may not participate) and use the Account only
for personal, family or household expenses.
Program Membership

in the application, we will add that number to your
Account automatically.

per Account, and assigned to the primary Cardmember on
that Account.
