Rules Of The Program
Earning AcAdvantage Miles
To ensure you receive credit for your AAdvantage transactions, please provide your AAdvantage
number when you make your travel reservations or use the services of our participants. Retain all
flight documents until the mileage credit appears on your mileage summary. Members may track
their summary online at www.aa.com or by subscribing to receive the AAdvantage eSummary. For
transactions with other participants, retain your original paid invoice. AAdvantage eSummary subscribers
receive their summary and information every month, regardless of activity level. Your summary includes
flight and participant mileage earned, along with newsletters and special promotions.
• As of January 1, 2000, if your account has no qualifying activity in any 36-month period, all mileage credit
in the account will expire except for those miles earned prior to July 1, 1989, in accounts established prior
to January 1, 1989, whose mileage credit will not expire. Each qualifying activity on or after January 1, 2000,
extends the expiration date of all unexpired mileage credit in your account for 36 months from the date of
the qualifying activity. Qualifying activity is defined as redeeming any AAdvantage award or accruing mileage
credit on any eligible American, American Eagle, AmericanConnection or AAdvantage airline participant, as well
as accruing mileage credit with participating hotels, car rental companies, credit cards, telecommunication
providers and other service providers offering AAdvantage mileage credit.
• Mileage will be credited only to the account of the AAdvantage member who flies, rents a car, stays at a hotel or
earns mileage utilizing other participating companies. No mileage credit will be awarded for canceled flights or
if you are accommodated on another airline.
• Except as otherwise explained below, mileage credit is not transferable and may not be combined among
AAdvantage members, their estates, successors and assigns. Accrued mileage credit and award tickets do not
constitute property of the member. Neither accrued mileage nor award tickets are transferable by the member
(i) upon death, (ii) as part of a domestic relations matter, or (iii) otherwise by operation of law. However,
American Airlines, in its sole discretion, may credit accrued mileage to persons specifically identified in
court-approved divorce decrees and wills upon receipt of documentation satisfactory to American Airlines
and upon payment of any applicable fees. Mileage credit is transferable between AAdvantage accounts when
offered by American Airlines online with the share
shareAAAmiles
AeAmiles program. The member must adhere to the rules and
limitations of the shareAAmiles program.
• You may request mileage credit for past, eligible transactions up to 12 months from the transaction date.
Transactions prior to your enrollment date are not eligible for mileage credit.
• Certain airline tickets are not eligible for earning mileage credit. These include, without limitation, the following:
all tickets issued as AAdvantage awards or other free ticket promotions including free or reduced-rate tickets;
companion tickets; chartered flight tickets; travel agency/industry reduced-rate tickets; infant tickets; items
occupying a purchased seat; unpublished-fare tickets, including consolidator fares (American Airlines tickets
booked in O class or transatlantic tickets booked in Q class); and tickets issued subject to special provisions.
• You will not be able to transfer mileage you accumulate in the AAdvantage program to any other carrier’s program,
nor can you transfer mileage you accumulate in another carrier’s program to the AAdvantage program.
• You may accrue mileage only for purchased, eligible, published-fare tickets on qualifying routes used
in accordance with all applicable conditions of carriage, tariffs, rules and terms of ticketing, and travel.
AAdvantage mileage accrual eligibility on airline participant routes is subject to change without notice.
®
26
PROGRAM RULES
• Mileage can be accumulated only one time per flight, regardless of the number of
seats purchased.
• Only individual persons are eligible for AAdvantage program membership. Corporations, other
entities, animals or blocked-seat baggage are not eligible to become AAdvantage members or
to accrue AAdvantage miles. Generally, only the member named on the account will be entitled
to access account information. However, American Airlines does comply with court orders and
subpoenas and cooperates with investigations by state and federal agencies. Under these circumstances
your account information may be shared with others with or without your knowledge or consent.
• AAdvantage flight mileage credit is determined on the basis of nonstop distances between the airports
where your flight originates and terminates. On connecting flights, you’ll receive mileage credit for each
segment of your trip; on single-plane flights, you’ll receive the nonstop origin-destination mileage, except
TAM*. On American Airlines and other AAdvantage airline participants, you’ll receive AAdvantage mileage
credit only for the class of service on which your fare is based when you are ticketed. American Airlines is the
final authority on qualification for mileage credit and reserves the right to deny or revoke mileage credit at any
time if American Airlines determines that mileage credit was improperly given.
• Mileage credit cannot be earned for the same flight, hotel stay† or car rental in more than one of the following
programs: the AAdvantage program or any other loyalty program in which American Airlines participates.
• After your flight departs, you will not be able to change your selection of a frequent traveler program for
earning mileage credit.
*Mileage accrual on TAM is based on actual distance between your city of original departure and your final destination regardless of connections required.
†Exception of Hilton HHonors® “Double Dipping.”
AcAdvantage Award Conditions
• American Airlines may, in its discretion, change the AAdvantage program rules, regulations, travel awards and
special offers at any time with or without notice. This means that the accumulation of mileage credits does
not entitle members to any vested rights with respect to such mileage credits, awards or program benefits.
In accumulating mileage or awards, members may not rely upon the continued availability of any award or
award level, and members may not be able to obtain all offered awards for all destinations or on all flights.
Any award may be withdrawn or subject to increased mileage requirements or new restrictions at any time.
American Airlines may, among other things, (i) withdraw, limit, modify or cancel any award; (ii) change
program benefits, mileage levels, participant affiliations, conditions of participation, rules for earning,
redeeming, retaining or forfeiting mileage credit, or rules for the use of travel awards; or (iii) add travel
embargo dates, limit the number of seats available for award travel (including, but not limited to, allocating
no seats on certain flights) or otherwise restrict the continued availability of travel awards or special offers.
American may make any one or more of these changes at any time even though such changes may affect your
ability to use the mileage credits or awards that you have already accumulated. American Airlines reserves
the right to end the AAdvantage program with six months notice. AAdvantage travel awards, accrued mileage
credits and special offers are subject to government regulations. American Airlines is not responsible for
products and services offered by other participating companies. Any departure fee, immigration fee,
security fees, tax liability surcharge, passenger facility charge or any other fee or surcharge (whether
enacted by a governmental authority or otherwise) is the responsibility of the passenger and/or the
AAdvantage member.
27
• All flight awards entitle you to round-trip or one-way travel unless otherwise noted.
(Immigration laws in some locations require proof of onward or return travel.)
• AAdvantage flight awards may not be combined with other AAdvantage flight awards; may not be
used in conjunction with any other promotion, coupon, discount or special offer; and are void where
prohibited by law.
• You may have one stopover at eligible cities within the continental U.S. for flight awards on
American Airlines, American Eagle, or AmericanConnection when travel originates in North America.
• Upgrades are limited to a one-way award with a maximum of three segments. All upgrade awards are
subject to capacity controls.
• Your flight awards are valid only for designated award destinations served at the time you use the ticket.
Once ticketed, you’ll have one year from the date of ticketing to complete travel unless otherwise stated.
• AAdvantage is an individual-oriented program. Your mileage summaries, special promotional materials
and tickets will be sent to the address or e-mail address, as applicable, you provide.
• You are responsible for reading the AAdvantage member guide, online member information, newsletters
and account summaries in order to understand your rights, responsibilities and status under the
AAdvantage program. American Airlines may amend its rules of the program at any time without notice.
You can view the current version online at www.aa.com or request a copy from AAdvantage Customer
Service at 1-800-421-0600 in the United States and Canada or your local AAdvantage/American Airlines
Reservations office during normal business hours.
• Members may view their account status through the American Airlines website, www.aa.com, or by
subscribing to receive the AAdvantage eSummary.
• You are responsible for ensuring that your mileage earned is properly credited. If you believe that mileage
has been earned but not properly credited, you may be required to submit documentation or other proof
satisfactory to American Airlines, which may include copies of ticket coupons, boarding passes and receipts.
Any claim for uncredited mileage must be received by American Airlines within 12 months after the mileage
credit was earned.
• Members must report any unauthorized award claims from their account within 12 months of the occurrence.
Corrective action cannot be taken after that time.
• Subject to the rules prohibiting purchase, sale and barter of AAdvantage mileage and travel awards as well as
the rules pertaining to any special AAdvantage offers, AAdvantage award tickets may be issued in any name
designated by the AAdvantage member.
• Once award tickets are issued they cannot be transferred.
• Passengers must have identification available at all times during travel.
• AAdvantage flight awards are subject to, and the passenger is responsible for, any applicable departure taxes,
security fees, federal inspection fees, passenger facility charges and/or other taxes, fees and surcharges
assessed by appropriate authorities. In addition, there may be applicable fees under the AAdvantage program,
such as AAdvantage award fees.
• Awards for international travel are subject to appropriate governmental approvals.
• Tickets issued as AAdvantage flight awards are not applicable for travel on American Airlines codeshare service
operated with other carriers. In addition, selected flights designated as AAdvantage airline participant flights,
but operated by another carrier, may not be valid for award travel.
28
PROGRAM RULES
• Upgrade tickets may be issued at American Airlines ticketing locations or by your travel agent. For
all other airline travel awards, including those for travel on airline participants, your reservations
must be made with, and your tickets issued by, an American Airlines or American Eagle airport
ticket office or American Airlines Travel Center or via American Airlines Ticket Delivery Service. All
flight awards must be ticketed on American Airlines ticket stock.
• Flight awards on American Airlines, American Eagle or AmericanConnection and our airline participants
may be subject to special limitations on seating availability. Seats for award travel may not be available
on all flights. Reservations for flight awards will be accepted, and you will have a confirmed seat as long
as award seats are still available for the award you are using when you make your reservation. However, all
accommodations are subject to availability at the time reservations are made.
• Each AAdvantage participant is responsible for its awards only and not for the awards of other participating
companies. If an AAdvantage participant agreement changes or terminates, you may find that AAdvantage
awards for that participant are no longer available. American Airlines is not responsible for any participant
withdrawals, award cancellations, discontinued services, changes in any mileage levels, rules or restrictions
applying to any participant’s awards or mileage accrual policies. AAdvantage award restrictions may be
announced by American Airlines or AAdvantage participants at any time without prior notice.
• Accumulation of AAdvantage mileage and use of AAdvantage travel awards with companies other
than American Airlines are subject to the continued participation of such companies in the
AAdvantage program.
• Travel on AAdvantage tickets will be subject to the tariff, contract of carriage, ticket terms and
re-accommodation policies of the carrier on which travel is scheduled, and may also be subject to the Warsaw
Convention or its successor. American’s or American Eagle’s conditions of carriage are available from any
American Airlines airport or Travel Center representative.
• Income tax liability on AAdvantage travel awards, if any, is the responsibility of the member.
General AcAdvantage Conditions
• At no time may AAdvantage mileage credit or award tickets be purchased, sold or bartered. Any such mileage
or tickets are void if transferred for cash or other consideration. Violators (including any passenger who uses
a purchased or bartered award) may be liable for damages and litigation costs, including American’s attorney
fees incurred in enforcing this rule.
• Use of award tickets that have been acquired by purchase or for any other consideration may result in the
tickets being confiscated or the passenger being denied boarding. If a trip has been started, any continued
travel will be at the passenger’s expense on a full-fare basis. The passenger and member may also be liable to
American Airlines for the cost of a full-fare ticket for any segments flown on a sold or bartered ticket.
• Fraud, misrepresentation, abuse or violation of applicable rules (including, but not limited to, American
or American Eagle conditions of carriage, tariffs and AAdvantage program rules) is subject to appropriate
administrative and/or legal action by appropriate governmental authorities and American Airlines. Such action
may include, without limitation, the forfeiture of all award tickets and any accrued mileage in a member’s
account, as well as cancellation of the account and the member’s future participation in the AAdvantage
program. In addition, American Airlines reserves the right to take appropriate legal action to recover damages,
including its attorney fees incurred in prosecuting any lawsuit.
29
• American Airlines reserves the right to audit any and all accounts at any time and without
notice to the member to ensure compliance with AAdvantage program rules and applicable
conditions of carriage and/or tariffs. In the event that an audit reveals discrepancies or
violations, the processing of AAdvantage awards, mileage accrual and summaries may be
delayed until the discrepancies or violations are resolved satisfactorily to American Airlines.
Pending such resolution, members may be prohibited from redeeming mileage credits for an
AAdvantage award or ticket as determined in American’s sole discretion.
• IF AMERICAN AIRLINES AND/OR ANY AADVANTAGE PARTICIPANT IMPROPERLY DENIES A MEMBER
MILEAGE CREDIT, TRAVEL AWARD OR SOME OTHER BENEFIT, THE MEMBER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY
SHALL BE THE ISSUANCE OF THE IMPROPERLY DENIED CREDIT, AWARD OR BENEFIT IF AVAILABLE,
OR SUCH OTHER ALTERNATIVE, COMPARABLE BENEFIT AS DETERMINED BY AMERICAN, WHICH
SHALL HAVE NO ADDITIONAL LIABILITY WHATSOEVER. IN NO EVENT SHALL AMERICAN AIRLINES OR
ANY AADVANTAGE PARTICIPANT BE LIABLE TO ANY MEMBER, OR ANYONE CLAIMING THROUGH A
MEMBER, FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR LOST REVENUE OR PROFITS,
ARISING OUT OF ACTS OR OMISSIONS BY AMERICAN AIRLINES OR ANY AADVANTAGE PARTICIPANT IN
CONNECTION WITH THE AADVANTAGE PROGRAM.

appropriate number of upgrades will be deducted from your electronic upgrade account.
• Upgrades purchased through American Airlines Reservations or AA.com require a minimum of two hours
processing time to be deposited into your upgrade account.

the class of service flown.
30
PROGRAM RULES
• Unused upgrades will not be refunded, exchanged or transferred.
• Purchased upgrade prices are subject to change without notice.
• In the event of a cancellation or off-schedule operation, American Airlines will attempt to honor your
upgrade on another of its flights. If you are accommodated on another carrier, it will be in the same
class of service as purchased on your American Airlines ticket.
• American Airlines reserves the right to eliminate or restrict the use of upgrades on certain flights and
to make other such changes at any time without notice. Use of upgrades to any future American Airlines
destination is subject to approval.
Reinstatement/Reissuance Fees
• Prior to ticketing, you may change your AAdvantage travel award reservations with no charge incurred.
However, if your tickets are reissued after the original ticketing, a change fee may apply for each ticket. This
service charge is paid at the time your ticket is reissued and is subject to change without notice. The charge
does not apply to the reticketing of AAnytime award tickets or MileSAAver First and Business Class awards.
Upgrade, companion and discount award travel is subject to the restrictions of fare purchased.
• AAdvantage mileage will be reinstated for unused and unexpired awards upon payment of a processing fee. All
such reinstated mileage shall bear its original expiration date. For each additional award reinstatement from
the same account at the same time, an additional fee will be collected. These fees are payable by credit card or
by check.
• Expired tickets will not be reinstated. If a portion of the miles used to claim an award ticket has expired, only
those miles that have not expired will be reinstated, and any such reinstated miles shall bear their original
expiration date. Partially used tickets will not be reinstated.
• Once ticketed, the one
oneworld awards cannot be reissued at any time.
31
Reservation Of Rights
To Change The Program
American Airlines may, in its discretion, change the AAdvantage program rules,
regulations, travel awards and special offers at any time with or without notice. This
means that the accumulation of mileage credits does not entitle program members
to any vested rights with respect to such mileage credits, awards or program benefits.
In accumulating mileage or awards, members may not rely upon the continued
availability of any award or award level, and members may not be able to obtain all
offered awards or use awards for all destinations or on all flights. Any award may be
withdrawn or subject to increased mileage requirements or new restrictions at any time.
American may, among other things, (1) withdraw, limit, modify or cancel any award;
(2) change program benefits, mileage levels, participant affiliations, conditions of
participation, rules for earning, redeeming or forfeiting mileage credits, or rules for the
use of travel awards; or (3) add travel embargo dates, limit the number of seats available
for award travel (including, but not limited to, allocating no seats on certain flights) or
otherwise restrict the continued availability of travel awards or special offers. American
may make any one or more of the changes at any time even though such changes may affect
your ability to use the mileage credits or awards that you may have already accumulated.
American further reserves the right to end the AAdvantage program upon six months notice.
AAdvantage travel awards, mileage accrual and special offers are subject to government
regulations. American Airlines is not responsible for products or services offered by other
participating companies.
Please allow 6-8 weeks after transaction for mileage postings to occur. Please allow 6-8
weeks after hotel stay for mileage postings to occur. Please allow 6-8 weeks after rental
for mileage postings to occur.
