Maybe all FT'ers are already using this discount, but if any are not, it can save a few extra dollars on leisure tickets...

I booked my reservation online to get the 1,000 mile AA online bonus, then called and had the discount applied before I picked up the tickets at a city ticket office.

There is a "membership number" on my Entertainment card, but it was not asked for. All I did was call AA and ask them to subtract the discount from my reservation before the tickets were issued. I don't know whether DL or TW or any others will honor it, but AA sure did, and that's $90 more I have to spend in Montreal! ($30 X 3) Hey, it sure can't hurt to ask!
