I just booked a Reduced Mileage Award for travel in Oct and Nov (outbound and inbound, respectively). The agent noted at the end something about "change deadline is 9/30". She put me on hold to confirm with someone and came back affirming this - that a change (for example, route change only) after 9/30 would require mileage redeposit. I was not aware of it. I checked AA's page and it says:
Booking requirements
- Awards may be booked effective August 1, 2019 – September 30, 2019
- Awards are valid for travel August 1, 2019 – November 30, 2019
- Awards must be claimed by September 30, 2019
- Award travel must originate in the 48 contiguous United States
Can anyone clarify the rules for changing a RMA? Thanks.
