Santander AAdvantage credit cards update benefits and fees

Santander offers a line of AAdvantage credit cards designed for accumulating American Airlines miles, including the AAdvantage Black, Platinum, and Quartz versions.

A significant change for 2026 involves the AAdvantage Black card, where free VIP lounge access is now contingent upon meeting a spending target of R$ 15,000 over the last three closed billing cycles.

The annual fees for the cards are R$ 1,632 for the Black version, R$ 660 for the Platinum, and R$ 468 for the Quartz. Santander provides a 50% discount on the Black card's annual fee for account holders who maintain investments exceeding R$ 150,000.
