Unfortunately AA/Citi has gutted this great program and no longer offers international destinations at the discounted rate.  Apparently from now on only domestic cities will be offered.  You can always call up the number on the back of your credit card to complain/threaten to cancel over the elimination of the discounted international destinations if you’d like them to know how you feel (or if you just want some mileage compensation…)

Q4 Reduced Mileage Awards Linky
Fly to select cities worldwide for 7,500 less miles than American Airlines regularly charges if you have the AAdvantage World Mastercard!

You may be able to avoid the $15 phone booking charge by first placing a reservation on hold at aa.com and then calling up AAdvantage to have them reduce the cost of the award by 7,500 miles and ask for the fee to waived since it was originally booked on their website.

(Note: You may be able to originate from any “destination” city and fly to any US48 city for the discounted rate simply by holding the ticket on aa.com and then referencing the award code above to an AAdvantage agent to get the required mileage reduced by 7,500…Be sure to report back here if you have success with this tactic or if it works for you to get to any international cities for reduced mileage!)

Offer Registration Linky

Double redeemable miles on all AA flights through 12/31/09 for CT, NJ, and NY residents based on the address on file for your AAdvantage account.

These are not elite-qualifying miles, but they will count towards lifetime AA million miler status.  With my lifetime Platinum status this means I could get 300% base redeemable miles on AA flights…

Well, I finally hit 2,000,000 AA miles which means that I now have lifetime Platinum status.

American Airlines is the only airline in the world that counts all earned miles towards million miler/lifetime elite status! Every other airline only counts actual flight miles to attain lifetime elite status.

I joined the AA program in 2002, hit 1,000,000/Lifetime Gold in 2007, and now have over 2,000,000 miles!

Between churning cards, a 14 flight/36 hour mileage run, and the alive and kicking US mint deal it was actually not so hard.

So, What’s in your wallet?

When you hit 1,000,000 you get 8 500-mile domestic upgrade stickers if you live in North America, or 4 one-way international upgrades certificates if you live outside North America.

When you hit 2,000,000 AA miles you get 4 one-way international upgrades regardless of where you live.

As the lifetime program is completely undocumented, it is liable to change at any time. There have been rumors for some time now that AA wants to go to actual flight miles for lifetime status, but lacks the technology to go back and see how every member actually earned their miles.

For now all miles earned, whether by flying, opening credit cards, or transfers from Starwood, count towards lifetime status. Even if you spend miles, your lifetime counter does not decrease.

You can check your own progress towards lifetime status on AA.com where it lists your total program miles to date.

I got a kick out of the first line of the congratulatory letter, “When you first became a million miler, you may not have thought about the next threshold…” Well they obviously don’t know their customer too well do they?

Our very own dansdeals.com forum administrator (Eli) and moderator (Levi), went on an incredible trip to Hong Kong, Macau, Beijing, Tokyo, Oahu, and Maui.

Eli has graciously typed up an incredibly detailed report of the entire trip with great advice and ideas and posted it on the trip reports board of the Dansdeals forums.

He was even able to use the free wi-fi on AA deal to submit the report from 35,000 feet!

They used one of my favorite awards, the AA OneWorld award, to book the trip in business class.

With that award, instead of using miles to fly to a single place for a set amount of miles (for example a business class ticket to Israel would be 135K miles) you book multiple flights and add up the total flown miles to determine the zone and its cost.  You could fly to Israel using a Zone 5 OneWorld award for just 115,000 miles in business class.

There are a few catches with OneWorld awards:
-You must fly on at least 2 OneWorld carriers (and AA can not count as one of the 2)
-You can’t have more than 16 flight segments.
-You can only have a stopover once in each city.
-You can only connect in the same city twice.
-You can’t stopover or connect in the city where travel originated.

With just under 20,000 flown miles, they were able to squeeze into a Zone 6 award which costs 130,000 miles in Business class.  Nicely done!


Want to make your own OneWorld award? Churn the Citi AA card or Get a Starwood AMEX and start spending! 20,000 Starwood Points becomes 25,000 AA Miles with Starwood’s 25% airline transfer bonus.

When flying, use code (Exp: 08/23): AAWiFi76194A1

-Blackout days: 06/27-28, 07/02-06.

Note:  Need AA Miles? You can transfer 20K Starwood Starpoints that you’ve earned from your Starwood AMEX into 25K AA miles. Or you can easily churn AA’s credit card from Citibank.

Effective immediately you can now book one-way awards on American Airlines for half of the round-trip mileage required!

AA is the first major US based carrier to allow for one-way awards.

Besides for the obvious benefit of being able to book a one-way flight when you only need to travel one-way, there are even benefits from this new policy if you are traveling round-trip.

Previously if you were flying JFK-LAX and there was a 25K MileSAAver on the outbound, but only a 50K AAnytime on the return, the ticket would cost 50K.  With the new one-way ticket pricing that trip would only be 37.5K.  Or you could just book the outbound for 12.5K and keep checking for a 12.5K return flight to open up.

Additionally AA has a number of off-peak awards to international destinations.  Previously if your trip spanned from off-peak into peak pricing the entire trip was priced at peak.  Now you will be able to mix peak and off-peak pricing.

The only casualty of this new policy is the loss of a free stopover in an international city, which will now be priced as an additional one-way flight.  Seems like a very worthwhile trade-off in my book though…

Between this very customer friendly policy change, the counting of all AA miles towards lifetime elite status, and the ongoing amazing availbility of AA awards at MileSAAver rates, AAdvantage miles are by far the most valuable domestic mileage currency today.

I admit it, I let my some 170,000 of my mom’s AA miles expire. But c’mon I’ve got miles and points in dozens of programs, can I really be expected to track my entire family’s miles as well? (I’ve since added my entire family’s mileage programs to my own mileage spreadsheet.)

Fine, my bad, but not to worry though, AA has an unpublished program called the “Re-Engage ChAAlenge!”

Sure AA has a published Reactivate miles program, but it’s prohibitively pricey…

So you probably know about AA’s Elite ChAAlenge which started costing money as of last October.

But AA also has a ChAAlenge to let you reactivate your miles for free.

There are 3 levels of the Re-Engage ChAAlenge. You have 1 year to complete the ChAAlenge from the date you sign up.
Sign up by simply calling AAdvantage customer service at 800-882-8880, say “AAdvantage account,” and ask for the Re-Engage ChAAlenge. They will send you an email with a PDF telling you exactly what you need to do to unexpire your miles. When you complete the requirements just call them back at the same number.

Re-Engage ChAAlenge Level 1: For reinstating 1-50,000 miles:
-You must subscribe to AAdvantage eSummary and AAdvantage Promotions email for 3 months.
And any one of the following:
Option 1: Open a new AA credit card and spend $750 on it.
Option 2: Earn 5,000 AA miles from a minimum of 3 AA partners. (See mileagemaximizer.com for tips)
Option 3: Fly on a round trip AA flight of at least 750 miles each way.

Re-Engage ChAAlenge Level 2: For reinstating 50,001-200,000 miles:
-You must subscribe to AAdvantage eSummary and AAdvantage Promotions email for 3 months.
-You must open a new AA credit card and spend $750 on it.
And either of the following:
Option 1: Earn 5,000 AA miles from a minimum of 3 AA partners. (See mileagemaximizer.com for tips)
Option 2: Fly on a round trip AA flight of at least 750 miles each way.

Re-Engage ChAAlenge Level 3: For reinstating 200,001 or more miles:
-You must subscribe to AAdvantage eSummary and AAdvantage Promotions email for 3 months.
-You must open a new AA credit card and spend $750 on it.
And either of the following:
Option 1: Earn 10,000 AA miles from a minimum of 3 AA partners. (See mileagemaximizer.com for tips)
Option 2: Fly on 2 round trip AA flights of at least 750 miles each way.

Update: AA and United now both have fares between Boston and Los Angeles for $79+ each way for a total of just $179 round trip with all taxes! A RT flight will earn 15,666 redeemable miles and 10,444 elite qualifying miles!

Originally posted on 03/31:

AA has filed fares for $99 each way between Boston and Los Angeles, San Francisco, or San Diego.
With all taxes the round-trip price should be about $219. Same-day turnarounds are permitted.
Travel is valid between 04/29 and 06/17. Travel on Sundays and Fridays will be more.
Sample valid flight:
05/05, AA192, LAX-BOS, 10:15pm-6:50am.
05/06, AA25, BOS-LAX, 8:20am-11:45am.

Use aa.com’s “price and schedule” feature for help finding cheap days to fly.

You can combine 2 great promotions on these routes.
-Triple Redeemable miles.
-Double elite miles.

Thus the miles earned for non-elites, for a single RT flight, Boston to/from:
-Los Angeles: 15,666 redeemable miles, 10,444 elite qualifying miles.
-San Francisco: 16,224 redeemable miles, 10,816 elite qualifying miles.
-San Diego: 15,528 redeemable miles, 10,351 elite qualifying miles.
Of course Gold elites will also earn their 25% redeemable mileage bonus, and Platinum/EXP elites will earn their 100% redeemable mileage bonus.

There is no limit to the number of bonus miles that can be earned.

-Gold elite can be earned on AA by earning 25,000 elite qualifying miles in a calender year.
-Platinum elite can be earned on AA by earning 50,000 elite qualifying miles in a calender year.
-Executive Platinum elite can be earned on AA by earning 100,000 elite qualifying miles in a calender year.
Elite status earned by flying in 2009 would last until 02/28/11.

Lifetime Gold elite status can also be earned by banking 1,000,000 redeemable elite miles. Lifetime Platinum elite status is earned by banking 2,000,000 redeemable elite miles. AA is the only airline that counts redeemable elite miles (as opposed to elite qualifying miles) for earning million miler status.

Good luck, and if you do go (or are considering going) on a mileage run be sure to write about it in the comments!

With little fanfare or announcment AA has done away with their $5 fee on frequent flyer tickets that they instituted in June.  Hopefully in this time of $65 oil and $1.97 gas (at least here in Cleveland!) the other 3 US airlines that instituted far harsher fees on frequent flyer tickets (Delta, Northwest, and USAir) will begin to rescind those as well!

Effective 01/01/09 non elites will get actual flight mileage on AA. This policy is a match to fellow Texas based Continental.  Elites on both airlines are unaffected.

United and USAir previously eliminated the 500-mile minimum for all travelers, including their elite members.

Rumor has it that on or around 10/15 AA will start charging $80 for the Gold Elite ChAAlenge, and $150 for the Platinum Elite ChAAlenge.

The chAAlenge, which has always been free to try for up until this point, is AA’s fast-track program for elite status.  There is no limit to the amount of times you can go for a chAAlenge.

You can read more about the ChAAlenge from what I wrote about it in April of 2006.

AA has some nice policies in place on their award tickets that they have left intact. One is the unlimited free date and time changes that they allow at any time on mileage tickets.

However if you want to change the origin/destination city on a mileage ticket there is a $150 charge per ticket.

An award cancellation on AA is also $150, but all additional cancellations made at the same time are only $25 extra apiece!

So if you have a family of 4 traveling on miles and need to change the destination city you can either change it for $600 or just cancel and rebook it for just $225!

British Airways has just announced that there will be an official announcement within the next 2 weeks or so about frequent flyer reciprocity with American Airlines.

Currently both AA and BA are members of OneWorld, but are unique in the fact that you cannot credit miles flown for transatlantic flights on one carrier to the other carrier. You also cannot redeem miles on one carrier for transatlantic travel on the other.

BA, which operates with 4 top-notch classes of service, generally has very good transatlantic mileage availability, especially in the 3 premium classes of service. This is due in large part to the difficulty of earning BA miles and the massive fuel surcharges that they levy on award tickets.

With AA miles being a whole lot easier to accumulate and due to AA not (yet) charging a fuel surcharge on award tickets, expect BA award availability to go way down once the official announcement is made…so make your plans now if you’d like to burn your AA miles on BA travel!

Depart from Atlanta, Cincinnati, or Salt Lake City to Panama City, Panama.

(Oddly enough, all 3 of those departure cities just happen to be Delta hubs…)

Travel is valid through 06/24.

Sample valid travel date: I was able to find $138+ flights from 06/10-06/17 from all 3 valid departure cities. Use aa.com’s price and schedule feature to find valid dates.

Seats must be available in Q class.

Including taxes, the fare should be about $225, depending on the routing.

According to the great circle mapper, using the routing slc-ord-mia-pty-mia-ord-slc will net you 14,394 elite qualifying miles with the double elite miles promo, or well over halfway to earning AA elite status valid through 02/10.

AA has started off the next round of airline fees with a new $15 (each way) fee for the first checked bag in addition to the $25 (each way) fee for the 2nd checked bag.

AA/OneWorld elite members, full fare passengers, AAnytime AAward passengers, business/first class passengers, passengers on an international itinerary, and all traveling companions of any of these exempted members will continue to be allowed to check 2 free bags.

The new bag fee applies to tickets purchased on or after 06/15, regardless of the date of travel. In other words:
-If you bought an AA ticket before 05/12 you will get 2 free checked bags.
-If you buy an AA ticket on or after 05/12 but before 06/15 you will get 1 free checked bag.
-If you buy an AA ticket on or after 06/12 you will not get any free checked bags.

-Effective for tickets bought 05/21, AA also has matched the new, soon-to-be industry standard $150 domestic change fee.

-International change fees will now range from $150-$300, depending on the market.

-Phone reservation fees (for revenue and mileage tickets) are now $20.

-Airport reservation fees are now $30.

-Mileage ticket city changes and cancellations are now $150.

-Date changes on mileage tickets continue to be free.

Finally, AA said that they will retire 75 aircraft while reducing domestic capacity by 12%. Although AA currently has the industry’s best mileage ticket availability, these cuts may well change that.

lazecraze53 asked in a recent comment,

“I have been Gold on AAdvantage numerous times, how did you become a lifetime member ? And if you become a lifetime member could you move up to Platinum?”

There are 3 published levels of elite status on AA:

Gold-Requires 25,000 flight miles or 30 flight segments in a calendar year.
Platinum-Requires 50,000 flight miles or 60 flight segments in a calendar year.
Executive Platinum-Requires 100,000 flight miles or 100 flight segments in a calendar year.

Executive Platinum is generally regarded as the best elite published elite status of any domestic carrier, and is generally not attainable by any method except flying 100,000 miles or 100 flight segments.

AA has a few undocumented ways of attaining Gold and Platinum elite status.

One undocumented method of attaining elite status is via AA’s “challenge” by which you can attain Gold or Platinum elite status by flying as little as 5,000 Q-points in 90 days. I wrote about the challenge and Q-points 2 years ago, so there’s no reason to cover that topic again.

Another undocumented method: When you earn 1,000,000 AA miles you earn lifetime Gold elite status. In addition you also get 8 500-mile domestic upgrade stickers if you live in North America, or 4 one-way international upgrades certificates if you live outside North America.

When you earn 2,000,000 AA miles you earn lifetime Platinum elite status. In addition you also get 4 one-way international upgrades regardless of where you live.

AA is the only airline in the world that counts all miles towards million miler/lifetime elite status! Every other airline only counts actual “BIS” flight miles to attain lifetime elite status.

As the lifetime program is completely undocumented, it is liable to change at any time. There have been rumors for some time now that AA wants to go to actual flight miles for lifetime status, but lacks the technology to go back and see how every member actually earned their miles.

For now all miles earned, whether by flying, opening credit cards, or transfers from Starwood, count towards lifetime status. Even if you spend miles, your lifetime counter does not decrease.

You can check your own progress towards lifetime status on AA.com.

It took AA about 3 months to send me my million miler package:
