No way to know whether a specific pass is legit or a scam, is there? If legit, AA gives these passes (in limited numbers) to valued corporate clients. AA does not intend that they end up on e-bay, and will try to find out who is selling them and take action against them. One of the actions that the seller might take when caught (so that AA will just reduce or eliminate his AAdvantage account and not try to get him fired) would be to offer AA the names, addresses, and phone numbers of those who bought these. You could end up begging the nice people at AA to unlocking your account. They might take pity on you. Or not.
I would never buy these.
