American Airlines Extends AAdvantage Status

American Airlines has extended the status of its AAdvantage members until 31 January 2022 and reduced status qualification requirements for 2020.

The airline has also extended Admirals Club memberships purchased from American for 6 months, introduced up to $400 special credits for future travel on American Airlines Vacations packages for elite members, announced that every dollar spent on an eligible AAdvantage co-branded credit card through the end of 2020 will count for one mile toward Million Miles status, and waived award reinstatement fees for travel through September 2020.

“We are grateful to our AAdvantage members and want to show them that loyalty is a two-way street,” said Bridget Blaise-Shamai, Vice President of Customer Loyalty & Insights and President of the AAdvantage program. “When people are ready to fly again, we will be there to help them reconnect with loved ones, friends and colleagues.”

AAdvantage members will automatically receive an extension of their current elite status through 31 January 2022. The updates will be reflected in member accounts in a few weeks.

The airline has lowered AAdvantage elite qualification requirements for all of 2020. AAdvantage members will achieve status more easily during the current elite qualifying year through lower Elite Qualifying Dollar (EQD), Elite Qualifying Mile (EQM) and Elite Qualifying Segment (EQS) requirements.
