| Description: | The AAdvantage program is American's travel awards program. It was the original travel awards program, established more than 20 years ago, and today is the world's largest program.
AAdvantage members earn miles each time they purchase an eligible published-fare ticket and fly on American Airlines, AmericanConnection, American Eagle or any of more than 30 airline partners. In addition, members earn miles when staying at AAdvantage hotel partners or when renting a car from a partner company. Currently over 35 hotel partners representing more than 75 brands and all seven major car rental agencies are AAdvantage partners. Miles can be redeemed for a variety of travel awards around the world on American Airlines, AmericanConnection, American Eagle and AA's airline partners. |
