Are you interested in a complimentary flight to Wrexham? My acquaintances with the Phoenix Reds have discovered a method to achieve this. However, it is important to note that this method involves signing up for a credit card with a substantial interest rate, an annual fee of $99, and a minimum spending requirement of $2,500 on the card before booking the free flight.

​

It is worth mentioning that the $2,500 can be spent on existing purchases, and there are strategies to avoid interest charges. Additionally, the card can be canceled before the annual fee is incurred.

If executed strategically, this plan could lead to you joining 13,000+ other fans in SToK Cae Ras, chanting Wrexham Wrexham Wrexham!

​My wife and I signed up for this card and used it to pay several bills. The very next day we transferred money onto the card to pay it off immediately. It took us about 2 months to spend the required $2,500, then 8-10 weeks later we had the miles show up on our AAdvantage account.​
