To use American Airlines travel credit, log in to your AAdvantage account, check your eligible credits, and apply them during the booking process for flights or upgrades.
Start by signing into your American Airlines account. Navigate to the “Travel Credits” section to see any available credits you have.
Once you find your credits, you can use them for future flights. When booking, enter your travel details and look for the option to apply travel credits at checkout.
Make sure to check the expiration date of your credits. They typically expire within a year from the date of issue, so keep that in mind when planning your travels.
American Airlines travel credits can often be combined with other payment methods. If your credit isn’t enough to cover the full fare, you can pay the difference with a credit card.
If you have multiple credits, it’s good to know you can also use them on different flights. This flexibility allows you to maximize the value of your credits.
Remember, travel credits can only be used for the original ticket holder. If you need to change the name on the ticket, contact customer service for assistance, as credits are non-transferable.
Keep an eye out for any promotions or offers that might allow you to use your credits in different ways, such as for upgrades or extra services.
