It’s workable, but it sucks. I’d spend it on something consumable like restaurants first.

Also keep in mind there are additional fees for ticketing at the airport vs online. It was $30 many years ago.

if you’re not in a hurry, I would just buy aa.com gift cards with your prepaids, then use those. I believe you can use up to nine of them on a single reservation. Unlike credit cards. AA knows not to process refunds back to them.
