Discover the benefits of AAdvantage® elite-status membership.
Imagine what traveling would be like if you received the personal attention and rewards
you deserve, like special check-in privileges at the airport, a dedicated customer
service phone number or preferred seating on your flight. When you reach the elite status
levels of the AAdvantage program - AAdvantage Gold®, AAdvantage Platinum®
or AAdvantage Executive Platinum® - all these benefits and more are yours.
|
As an elite-status AAdvantage member, you will enjoy services not available to other AAdvantage members.
|
Get the Attention you expect.
From a preferred seating assignment to last-minute reservations, elite-status members are always a priority. In fact, AAdvantage Executive Platinum members can obtain seats even on sold-out flights*. You'll even have access to a dedicated phone line, one for each elite-status level, linking you to a specially trained service representative.
Receive the Recognition you deserve.
AAdvantage Gold, AAdvantage Platinum and AAdvantage Executive Platinum members receive VIP treatment at the airport. You may check in at the First or Business Class counters any time you travel, and preboard your flight to have additional time to settle in and stow your carry-on luggage. In recognition of your elite status, you'll enjoy a preferred discount on an Admirals Club® membership.
Enjoy a wealth of Perks and Privileges.
As a reward for loyalty to American Airlines, elite-status members receive generous mileage bonuses, allowing you to move quickly to exciting travel awards. With every eligible flight, AAdvantage Gold members earn a 25% mileage bonus; AAdvantage Platinum and AAdvantage Executive Platinum members earn a
bonus equal to 100% of the base miles earned. And that's just the beginning! AAdvantage Gold and AAdvantage Platinum members automatically
earn valuable upgrades - four for every 10,000 base miles flown. Plus you can exchange AAdvantage miles for upgrades - a privilege only elite-status members enjoy. And you'll find that your benefits increase as you move up the tier levels. AAdvantage Executive Platinum members may request complimentary upgrades to the next class of service when traveling on any purchased, published fare within valid markets. All elite-status members enjoy complimentary upgrades to the next class of service for themselves and a traveling companion when both are traveling on a full-fare Economy class ticket.** When seats are available, AAdvantage Gold members can upgrade 24 hours in advance, AAdvantage Platinum members 72 hours in advance, and AAdvantage Executive Platinum members 100 hours in advance. Complete details are available at www.aa.com/upgrades.
