I have a question regarding the $250 annual airline credit and using points for airfare redemptions.
Lets say I buy a ticket on AA for $330.
1. Is the $250 statement automatically applied to it or I have to manually request it?
2. In addition to getting the above credit, can I also use points at 1.6 cent/point on the same ticket?
3. If yes, do I need to use 5000 points for the balance $80 in airfare or can I use 20625 points for the full $330 the ticket costs?
Thanks
