To put it briefly

This card is clearly positioned as a mid-range partner to the combined UA and DL cards. Its long-term Perk is just a one-year certificate. If it was easy to use one or two items in a coupon book, it might be a little overwhelming. For people who actually fly AA a lot, a four club is a little bit more moving the needle. All in all, aside from the welcome bonus, there is a small amount of competition here.
