Looks like they may be conference codes. One listed for SFO is for the Association of International Education Administrators Conference.

AIRFARE INFORMATION

A discount of five percent (5%) is available to conference participants who travel with American Airlines.

To book online, please go to www.aa.com/group. Use the Authorization Number noted below as the AA.com Promotion Code. To contact the Airlines Meeting Services Desk, call 1-800-433-1790.

AA Authorization Number for Discount: 5121BN

Most of these are from a custom Google search (lookup Google advanced search features) which aggregates results from various sites including conferences, tourism boards, and other sources. AFAIK, there is no restriction on who can use these codes and I have used several of them in the past with no issues. If anyone is aware of any eligibility requirements for any of these codes, please post here or send me a PM so I can update/remove them as necessary.

Edit: Per tom911's post above, the language "available to conference participants" may or may not be construed as a restriction. I'm not sure if AA has any way of verifying this, but it is up to you to decide if you want to use a code.

To people who are sending me PM's with requests for codes to international destinations, I have seen very few and all those that I have are posted. Also, note that these codes are valid only on AA and not codeshares:
Promotion Codes are only valid on AA.com for flights operated by American Airlines, American Eagle and AmericanConnection.
Any reservation made using a Promotion Code requires instant purchase and cannot be placed on hold.
Again, I hope people are finding these useful and are able to save a little bit of money. I'll try to get the April codes up this weekend.

Whether AA can check or not, if it is restricted to participants, then it is dishonest to use it. Sure, you can get a 13 year old into a theater for the under 12 price, but it's still stealing. I suspect that the vast majority of people going to these events know the codes, as they are published on the event websites.

I appreciate InsipidMonkey taking this opportunity to providing marketing for AA in exchange for discounts to be used on his marketees bookings.

American has gained an extra booking from me that I had not considered making without the promotion code, and considering the flight will likely go out full, I hope this is a profitable relationship for both myself and American.

InsipidMonkey sadly will only benefit from my gratitude, which cannot be measured in materialistically

That's the conference for Democrats and Republicans to debate which way the country should proceed.

All codes from the last two posts were pulled directly from AA.com, so the only information I have on them is what is listed on the Discount Codes Rules page. None of them have any restrictions listed.

I'll post codes from May soon, and at some point I'll compile everything into one file sorted by dates and airports for easy searching.

I keep copying and pasting to my own word doc, your awesome lists before someone and their infinite wisdom decides to delete these codes; it happened on the Marriott board, it won't surprise me if it happens here.

Seriously - this is amazing. I've tried for several hours to replicate a google search that would achieve the same results and I net a few codes that have expired. How does he do it?

5% off LGA EWR HPN JFK all year

Just found this code in the pile, seemed pretty useful so I thought I'd post it ASAP:

1/1/2011 - 12/31/2011 LGA EWR HPN JFK 2511BC 5%

Finally finished compiling the codes. The problem is there are over 4600 unique codes for 2011 alone. Too many to post, and FT has no upload feature as far as I can tell. I am considering hosting it elsewhere, but I'll wait to see if anyone has a better solution.

In the meantime, established FTers (more posts than me, member for longer than a month) are welcome to PM me with dates and destination airports, and I'll try to reply ASAP.
