5% or 10% off coupon and DEQM

I was wondering if there is a chance buying a ticket on AA.com with the AA soccer 10%off coupon or Entertainment Book 5%off coupon would mess up the DEQM promotion. Just curious. Sometimes these promotions aren't compatible.

Using a % off coupon will have no effect on mileage earned via promotion.

It shouldn't, however, I found you CAN NOT use the 10% off soccer for multi-city itineraries. Just O/W or R/T. Frustrating.

Nothing new there. This is the normal restriction for such codes.

I tried using my soccer code on two separate simple RTs in the past week and got a "not valid" message. Anyone else have this problem?

Nope. Just used mine with no problem whatsoever. Are you sure your dates comply, and these are all AA codes on AA metal?

Cheers.

Duh... works a lot better when I use the code instead of the password.

Caution:Use Your Coupon Carefully

Just Booked a RT on aa.com using the 10% Soccer coupon and made a mistake in return date. Called PLAT line immediately and a typically nice agent made the 1 day change to correct my error, but despite no fare difference, was unable to re-apply the code. She connected me to web-services who told me that Codes are stricly One-time use and cannot be carried over through any change. (I also learned you cannot use a code in any booking involving a website "Hold") Luckily, my mistake only cost me about $30.

Moral to the story - if you have a promocode, be extra careful when making an online booking.

I would write customer relations on that and at least ask for a voucher. That's stupid.
