An Official Partners List -- or so it says
 

I found this somewhat buried in the AA website:

http://www.aa.com/summary/sep/partnerspage.html

It does appear legitimate--a list of official AA partners, with more being added as of August 15, such as the Quality Inn hotel chain. Or is it chains? Because each of the brands (Clarion, Comfort, Sleep, etc.) is listed as a separate partner! Also delineated are the partners available only via the AOL AAdvantage site. However, some of the hyperlinks, such as for Randalls, aren't working.

Also:
"Most local businesses participating through AAdvantage Incentive Miles will not appear on this list. For specific information on how to earn AAdvantage miles with the following partners, you can:
"Visit the AAdvantage Member Guide and select Earning Miles, or
"Visit AOLAAdvantage.com and select Earn Miles."

Good luck on getting 20 for 20! Who would have thought this info would normally be available to subscribers of the AA E-Summary (Sept. issue)?

L--

This page has been around for quite some time (mind you with many changes)...

there was a link from the promo page to it.

Thanks for posting for those that might have missed it there. Do note, though, that not all partners appear, as you indicated. So if yours isn't on the list, don't panic-- it MAY qualify http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

24 partners here... good luck to those on their way.
