AA drops USO from their sponsored Charities List
AA insisted that they were still sponsoring USO and the problem with the USO not showing up as one of the sponsored charities on their website was because of a software glitch. They promised to get it fixed, but nothing happened.
I reached out to USO and was told that AA had dropped them as a sponsor at the end of 2015. I guess AAdvantage folks are either misinformed or giving out misinformation.
On a related note, Ralphs grocery store chain does from time to time offer a matching donation of up to $1 million total. Donating through their website would be another way to increase the benefits to USO.
