No idea if that would work with AA though.
Otherwise, I guess you could call...
don't think that would work with AA, unfortunately. I would only get another flight credit and be stuck in the same boat. In the past, the Powertools extension has clicked through to AA.com and displayed everything correctly. It's weird that it is working properly when clicking through to the European AA sites, but not AA.com, which is the version I have to use to redeem my credit. It appears to be a gliche of some sort in the extension.
