Contacting AA Customer Relations & Discussion
Contacting Customer Relations, complaints and related issues
N.B. AA and US combined Customer Relations as of 20 January 2015
Wrong thread? Need AAdvantage Customer Service? Contacting AAdvantage Customer Service master thread (link)
NOTE: AA and US consolidated their main Customer Relations contact process January 2015. Whereas previously US CP and AA EP / EXP could contact Customer Relations by telephone, that is no longer possible.
To register complaints, one must use the e-form linked to here: Email AA Customer Relations (pops up AA e-form); there is no publicly published telephone number to call for AA Customer Relations. NOTE: form limited to 1,500 characters. Invalid character or empty required information field causes form refusal.
You may specify you want a reply within this form; if you do not do so, it is quite possible you won't receive an acknowledgement of your communication. The initial reply may be a mere acknowledgement; if there is a case number, record it and use it in future communication
Also note replies from AA Customer Relations can not be autoreplied to. (Clarification here):
It appears that AA is using bot-generated replies to your complaint form. You CAN reply to that email if you want to get your complaint routed to a real person. Otherwise, the bot-generated email will simply issue an apology, and nothing more (no compensation). Once you reply to that auto-generated email, you should get a team member response in a few days.
It has been suggested separate issues be addressed by sending separate customer contact forms. Unfortunately, employees can easily conflate separate issues or stop reading after the first one.
One can include a telephone number and ask AACR call back. They will likely do so, but it will require you to monitor your phone until they call.

=Q. What is the difference between AA Customer Relations and Customer Service?
Posted some time ago, still relevant: What is the best avenue to file such a complaint? Is it AAdvantage Customer Service, or AA Customer Relations? Each one seems to have its own email comments form on AA.com. When using these forms, are they usually pretty good about responding? If not, is there an email address I can directly email in a situation like this?

Good question. American Airlines has 2 departments: one called Customer Relations and one called AAdvantage Customer Service.
AAdvantage Customer Service is for assisting AAdvantage members with account issues (address changes, mileage posting issues, etc…) American Airlines Customer Relations is for addressing customers past travel experiences (delays, employee issues, etc…)

At one time, AA maintained an occasional and official "helpful lurker" presence, comprised of more than one person, with the FlyerTalk handle AmericanAirlines; AA has chosen not to maintain such a presence on FlyerTalk.

Frequently Asked Questions / FAQ
Q. How do I use this channel of communication?
You must first sign up for a (free) Twitter account. When you do, Subscribe to the AA Twitter channel: @AmericanAir.
Note: Getting assistance from Twitter for a specific reservation can be improved by communicating with them by using the DM / Direct Message (like PM here) system, where you can include your PNR and details privately - and your AAdvantage number and EP status so they can link it with your Twitter profile. This is easily done by sending them a tweet asking them "Please follow me for DM" so they can "follow" you and receive DMs from you.
Once this has been done, you may wish to take your account Private.
Q. How can they help?
@AmericanAir can assist with OSO (Off-Schedule Operations - "IRROPS") when it might otherwise take a long time to get a response from the telephone desk employees. There are many things that @AmericanAir can do when time is of the essence; read posts below for more.
Q. Can I report service issues?
Certainly.
Q. Can I laud or compliment excellent service?
Certainly. The Twitter team will log these and for AA employees (including employees of wholly owned subsidiaries, but not contractor employees) and pass on compliments to supervisors, who will add them to the employee's personnel record.

Contacting American Airlines Customer Relations & Issues (master thread)
Hi All,
Does anyone know how to email the new customer relations? I emailed [email protected], and got a reply telling me that email is closed, and we must now use the web comment form on aa.com. That would be fine, except the web comment form only allows 1500 characters - which isn't nearly enough to explain the situation and ask for assistance.
Does anyone know how to actually email US/AA customer relations? Or perhaps how to send them a fax or postal mail, if it comes down to that?
Thanks!

Bad, no good service
In my experience, even 1,500 characters is too long for the "new" American to handle. I recently wrote them about an LAX-CLT flight which inexplicably served neither beverages nor food in F. I would've been irritated if I'd simply been upgraded, but this was an award flight for which I'd used miles specifically to be in F. Also, the FAs made so much noise cackling and telling jokes in the galley that we couldn't sleep. AA replied to this with an apology for the FA behavior and had no response about my main concerns. They send from an email address which does not accept replies, so you have to go fill out a form all over again. I did, and they said that since I'd already traveled, they were unable to credit me the difference between the mileage redemption in F and Y (which was my request since I effectively had a coach experience in F). So, next time I'll be sure to use psychic abilities to determine how the service will be in advance so I can request a credit before travel begins. Groan. 
Your profile indicates you are Platinum. If so, you may wish to email [email protected] with concerns. However, I believe these inquiries are still answered by the team in Winston-Salem, and there seem to be many folks there who...aren't exactly as friendly or generous as regular customer relations.

Thanks for the info. I have sent them a fax.
However, this stinks. No way to actually send them an email? What if you need to send an attachment or something, eg, photo of a ticket stub? Or what if your issue is just longer than 1500 letters? This post is 320 letters long, so that only gets you 4.6 times this post.

Are you serious about being unable to respond to their email? That makes no sense. I had no problem at all responding to both an AA and US CS email (separate, pre-merger issues).

If they need my documentation, they've let me know how and where to provide it (e.g. missing flight credit).

If you reply, you receive a response notifying you that the email address is unmonitored; it directs you to the general contact page. I sent a screenshot of this nonsense to them on Twitter, and they confirmed I would have to start all over (and of course they can't help since somehow social is separate from customer service).

It's unfortunate, as it seems AA is generally much more professional than US. Then again, there are those who argue that AA is gone and the new company is just a larger LCC, and this model of limited support would fit into that.

That makes sense. Just a royal pain to fill out that whole form again with ticket number, record locator, flight info, on and on...

To get AA to understand your message, I suspect you should keep to well less than 1500 characters. And, put your main complaint up front. Maybe something like: "I was on AA/US XXX on Jan XX, 2015 (itinerary ABCDEF) when ...." Being verbose means AA won't understand.

One thing to keep in mind is that pmAA had the 1500 character limitation. That part isn't new to post-merger AA. I remember clearly seeing that about 5 years ago, and calling instead (when I still was able to contact Corporate and ask to be transferred to Corporate Customer Relations).
As for the replying nonsense, that's just stupid. Seriously. I hope AA reconsiders that. pmUS didn't have that issue; just last fall, I was able to respond to an email they sent me and follow-up from there.

This changed last fall. I too used to be able to reply to the CS rep by simply hitting 'reply' but that seems to have ended as of late summer/fall 2014. Now they prefer to just send out an automated 5 line email 15 minutes after you submit your feedback and just assume that is sufficient.
