American Airlines has announced that the business extra program will be discontinued and replaced with the AAdvantage Business program. The new program is simple, you earn 1 AAdvantage mile per $1 spent and 1 loyalty point per dollar spent. In order to redeem the miles and stay a member you must:
- Must have at least five unique travelers on account & maintain $5,000 in qualifying Business Extra flight activity during the previous 12-month period to redeem points
- Be a Citi AA business cardholder
The transition between the two programs will be as follows:
- On December 14, 2023 the Business Extra program will be discontinued
- Points must be redeemed by January 31, 2024.
- You can transfer points across at a rate of 1:6
New program isn’t as good as the old one, but with the requirements to stay a member and redeem the miles it’s much harder/impossible to game than it was before so most readers won’t be eligible anyway.
