The award-winning AAdvantage® program is the largest and world's first loyalty program that gives members access to unparalleled experiences, with more ways to earn and use miles, and more rewards and status benefits.

Throughout the new program year beginning March 1, 2024, American Airlines will continue to enhance the program so that loyalty with American goes even further for AAdvantage® members. Visit aa.com/programchanges to learn more about these updates and when they begin.

Earning made easy: AAdvantage® members have so many ways to earn miles and Loyalty Points

An AAdvantage® membership is your best travel companion. With recent additions to the AAdvantage® program like AAdvantage HotelsTM and AAdvantage EventsTM, members have more opportunities to earn rewards faster. And coming soon, members can earn miles when they pay with cash to upgrade to a premium cabin.

American is also adding a new Loyalty Point Reward choice: Get additional Loyalty Points toward AAdvantage® status, starting at the 15,000 Loyalty Point Reward level.

Loyalty Points needed to reach AAdvantage status and Loyalty Point Reward levels will stay the same for the upcoming qualification year. The status qualification year for 2024 begins on March 1, 2024, and runs through February 28, 2025. The breakdown of status and reward levels are on aa.com.

Introduced in 2022, Loyalty Points are earned toward status and can also unlock Loyalty Point Rewards starting at 15,000 Loyalty Points
