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 sharea AAmiles e Amiles 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
P R O G R A M R U L E S 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. continued on page 28 27
28 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.
P R O G R A M R U L E S 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. continued on page 30 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. 500-mile Upgrade Terms And Conditions (For upgrade terms and conditions for elite members, please see the applicable benefits guide for your elite membership.) Upgrades may be used on American Airlines marketed and operated flights within and between the 50 United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, The Bahamas, Bermuda, and between the U.S. and Central America. Each upgrade is valid for 500 miles of travel. Each flight segment requires at least one upgrade. Upgrades are valid from Economy Class to the next class of service. Non-elite status AAdvantage members must purchase a full-fare Economy Class ticket to be eligible for an upgrade. Upgrade inventory is subject to seating limitations and capacity controls. Upgrades are not valid for use with an AAdvantage travel award, any free ticket or group fare ticket and are not transferable. Upgrade reservations may be confirmed if upgrade seating is available no earlier than 24 hours prior to the scheduled departure time of the flight. If a confirmed upgrade is not available, you may stand by for the upgrade. Please ask the agent to add you to the standby list. For any flight on which you are a confirmed passenger, standby priority at the airport will be AAdvantage Executive Platinum members first, AAdvantage Platinum members next, AAdvantage Gold members, then other AAdvantage members. Boarding passes must be issued by an Airline Representative, subject to applicable seat availability and operational restrictions, and only upon presentation of your AAdvantage card and verification of the required number of upgrades in your upgrade account. When you are accommodated with an upgrade seat, the 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. AAdvantage mileage will accrue for the class of service on which your fare is based when you are ticketed, not for the class of service flown. 30
P R O G R A M R U L E S 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 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.
