New payment screen?

I searched but haven't seen any threads come up on this. Regardless, I'm sure this will get merged...

But when did the new payment screen come up on AA.com? I went to complete the purchase of a held reservation today, and there's a completely new screen for handling payment. It looks pretty, but it doesn't have a place for a promotion code, which I thought the old one did. Do I need to go back and start again in order to put in a code?

IIRC, the promo code has to be entered with the search criteria...promo codes don't apply to all available flights, so searching with a promo code will net different results than searching without one.

cheers!

I purchased a couple of tickets a week ago or so, and I too noticed the new payment screen. Looks a little more modern a la new AAdvantage Miles screen.

The screen is new, but you've never been able to use a promotion code on a previously held reservation - you always have to start a fresh one.

Also mentioned in the rules on aa.com:

Reservations: Promotion code will not be applied to previous reservations, placed on hold or purchased

It looks like the new screen was introduced alongside the new "pay by check" feature. I like the look of it - much more sleek than the old page.

Promo codes are entered when booking, either before the search or just prior to payment. You can NOT hold a reservation and use a promo code for it. You pay for these as soon as you book them. As another poster stated, it has nothing to do with the new screen for payment.
