  • Change to AA FF mileage for flights flown

    Dear Lawren2,

    Effective January 1, 2009, we are discontinuing the minimum mileage guarantee for non-elite status members for flights on American Airlines, American Eagle®, AmericanConnection®, oneworld® member airlines, AAdvantage® participating airlines as well as rail service and codeshare service booked under an AA flight number.

    With this change, customers will earn AAdvantage miles equal to the actual distance flown or the applicable percentage* of the miles flown, and any associated bonuses will be calculated accordingly. Similarly, elite status qualifying miles and points earned for travel on eligible flights will also be based on the actual miles earned. AAdvantage Executive Platinum®, AAdvantage Platinum® and AAdvantage Gold® members are exempt from this change.

    The new policy will apply to non-elite status members traveling on or after January 1, 2009, regardless of when the ticket was booked or purchased. Flights flown on or before December 31, 2008, will continue to accrue AAdvantage miles under the current policy. For more information, visit AA.com/AAdvantage.

    Thank you for your business. We look forward to seeing you onboard soon.

    Sincerely,

    Rob Friedman
    President
    AAdvantage Marketing Programs
    Lawren

    Glad I have lifetime Gold status. This does not surprise me as FF programs are changing a lot and not for the better. Still, I have been able to get flights I wanted when I want so its still a good deal for me.

    Cheers

      Glad that AA exempted the elites.

      Still, this is an insignificant change compared to DL's fuel surcharges on award tickets, hefty foreign origination fee, 60K minimum milage for TATL flights, and rip-off three tier award chart, as well as numerous junk fees. AA flyers should consider themselves lucky, in comparision
