I changed the Wiki awhile back when I received an email from BusinessExtra indicating that the $150 reinstatement fee applies to all Business Extra customers regardless of their status with the airline.
Related question, could not find an answer:
I have 1,682 points scheduled to expire 12/31/2019, struggling to find a good use for them, came up with something in November 2020 that
may be of interest (BXP1A). Based on recent experience, I fully expect at least one schedule change between now than then, possible itineraries include at least one connection in each direction. If/when that occurs, can I reject the change, ask for a refund? As points already expired, there would be little benefit to have them reinstated with the original expiration date. Would AA instead allow me to book another BXP1A award, within the same period of travel?
