GLD/PLAT to be exempt from close-in fees, EP from redeposit fees

Taken from the AA forum at travellingbetter.com:

"Starting tomorrow, AAdvantage Gold and Plat will be exempt from "close in" ticketing fees.

Also, EPs will be exempt from mileage reinstatement fees and "award ticket changes" on tickets issued from their accounts."

Benefits For AAdvantageŽ Elite Status Members

Dear (Insert Name),

Effective today, July 29, 2010, American Airlines is enhancing the benefits available to our AAdvantage elite status members.

Waived AAdvantage Award Processing Charges*

AAdvantage Executive PlatinumŽ members are already exempt from award processing charges for travel ticketed within 21 days of departure when using miles from their account. We are now extending this benefit to our AAdvantage PlatinumŽ and AAdvantage GoldŽ members, making it even more rewarding to be an elite status member.

Waived AAdvantage Award Ticket Change and Reinstatement Charges

AAdvantage Executive Platinum members will be receiving additional award benefits as well. Also effective July 29, award tickets issued from an AAdvantage Executive Platinum member's account will be exempt from charges associated with eligible origin and destination changes to MileSAAverŽ award tickets and from charges for reinstating wholly unused award tickets.

To see a summary of the benefits you receive as an AAdvantage elite status member, visit our
Elite Benefits Chart.

Your continued loyalty is important to us. This is another way we would like to show our appreciation to you. From everyone at American, we look forward to seeing you onboard soon.

Best Regards,

Derek DeCross
President
AAdvantage Marketing Programs
