Just helped my cousin with his flight... he is paying using his sapphire instead of his aa plat level card. I hope it is as everyone suspects, no need for ticket to be booked on that card!!!
Nothing to worry, He shouldn't have a problem... I suggest adding to the reservation his AA # (that's on this Plat level card) so that in the airport its on file. That's what the rep in the airport told me...Post what ends up happening
I'm a little lost if I have the citi aadvantage amex card (it says select) do I get a free bag?
Cardmembers that currently have the Citi® Platinum Select® / AAdvantage® Visa Signature, Citi® Platinum Select® / AAdvantage® World MasterCard, Citi® Platinum Select® / AAdvantage® World Elite MasterCard and Citi® Select® / AAdvantage® American Express will start enjoying these new benefits today!
From the OP:
I'm currently planning a 9-leg tour of the US with my wife this summer using Avios. I was worried about the luggage fees, but any of these cards looks like the way to go. Anyone have a recommendation? I don't have any of them.
whatever has the best current offer
I got an email that says I should add an additional user and they will have the benefit as well.In the T&C it does not say you need to pay with the card, it says though that the card should be affiliated with your millage number when you make your reservation. I have the email to show the ticket agent if I ever have a prob.
How would I do this if I'm an AU and I'm booking a Avios flight on AAdvantage???Who did you email that got you this benefit?
what do you mean add aa number?
AA Advantage # to the booking
well it was booked with avios points
My mother has this card, and I'm going to book a flight for me using miles from her AA account, fo I get all the benefits automatically, or I need to add myself as an AU and hope for YMMV?
