Can you put the membership on a personal credit card? If you purchase an AC membership, and get the Citi Executive card, they will refund a pro-rated membership fee for whatever is left on your membership, as long as more than 2 months is left.

Just looking if any bonus now for membership and any reason to do online vs at club.
I am leaning towards club as I am not sure I will use this next trip and if there are no bonuses, may wait and see.

Hi All. I just got the e-mail to renew my membership. I'm EXP so the website my auto renewal rate is $350. The e-mail I just got says if I do it online I get a $50 discount (which should then be $300), however the e-mail I got says that my renewal cost with the $50 discount would be $350…..how is that possible? I checked to see if that was an error and went through the payment flow from the e-mail link and it too was showing me $350. Any idea on how I can get the $50 discount online to get it for $300?

Almost signed up for one when I lost my Amex privileges. Then I moved out of the country and now don't need that anymore!
Still have my Chase UA Club card though.

Well no, I am talking about actually buying a membership. I don't need the AA card.

Why buy a membership if you dont have the card? Spend $450, spend $5k in 3 months and collect 50,000 miles and have a full AC membership. I will do that this year. Its a no brainer. 50,000 miles is worth well more than $450, so the AC membership is "free" at that point.

Anyway, an actual answer to your question is no. They haven't offered anything publicly in quite awhile. Last time I renewed, I ask one of the Aangels at the club what can be done, and they stacked a $50 courtesy discount on top of my elite tier renewal price.

Renewal timing
My EXP status expires at the end of February, will revert to PLT, current Admiral's Club membership is valid through late March. If I renew membership as an EXP, the cost will be $350, rather than $400 for PLT. can I do so in February, keep the late March anniversary?
