Our Verdict
So basically need to book a flight and then you get $50 off a second flight at a later date. Great deal if you were going to book with American Airlines anyway.
Hat tip to VFTW
I got my voucher by email on Nov. 19 and redeemed it today Nov. 24 for an international AA flight for 2 passengers (including me). Unexpectedly, this credit is $50 PER PERSON, so I received a $100 total discount. I only paid to fly once during the offer eligibility period, so I’m not sure if this $50 per person is an error.
Yes, that happened to me, too. Does anyone know if the person who received the voucher has to be one of the passengers? In other words, is the code transferable?
Just a heads up: you need to spend $60 in airfare EXCLUDING tax to use the voucher. I tried to buy a $107 roundtrip fare to SJU (nice, right?) and apply the voucher but the fare was only $48 so I couldn’t use the voucher.
Just got my voucher today. Used points and paid taxes with the mastercard!!
heads up.. to use the voucher the minimum *base* fare has to be at least 60 dollars, so the price not including all the taxes and fees smh
Yeah, I posted my SJU experience above and, within the mainland, your fare is going to have to be at least in the $70s. Not a big deal for most, but if you’re a bargain hunter, you may be annoyed. I also just priced a $69 one way fare to Florida for early March and that didn’t qualify either. I guess you can always try a roundtrip. BTW, anyone with an AMEX Plat card should always price AA fares on AMEX’s website. They seem to be consistently offering an almost10% discount these days.
Got my two bonuses today!
Did anyone else get this? I still haven’t
Got the email with the voucher today.
Yeah, we got our vouchers as well. I’m sure there will be errors, though, because the terms seem a little complicated.
I complied with the terms of this offer and I guess we’re supposed to get our vouchers in the next week. Hopefully, they correctly process this offer (it seems a bit complicated), and we get the vouchers on time. The window to use the vouchers is relatively short.
PPK doesn’t seem to work, can’t complete payment
The wait time to get an AA customer service representative in the phone is “more than 4 hours”.
When you finally speak to someone, they quickly put you on hold again and try to transfer you. Good luck flying this airline.
