Just made EXP for about a month, I know its a little bit early to ask but does AA send out physical membership card?
I know I could get it on my phone with the AA app but I like the physical card ( I keep all my membership cards).
I read somewhere that AA is still looking for a supplier but is there any updates?

Yes, they do send out membership cards. When they send it, is another story. We made EXP by June, and got our cards by mid Aug, about 2 months latter, if that is any indication. Now that the integration has been done, they are most likely swamped with all the ex US flyers elites. Congrats on getting EXP.

I requested a replacement card not too long ago. I can't find the specific reply, but I got the impression that I wouldn't be receiving anything anytime soon.

"Download the American Airlines app to see your card or print it at aa.com/myaccount. Please note that elite status membership cards cannot be printed."
Has anyone had recent success or failure using the app displayed card to access a Oneworld lounge?
