Printing Receipts and Obtaining Ticket Numbers
Ticket numbers for AA begin with "001" and are found in your emailed e-ticket and in your printed receipt. You may find it difficult to find it on Awards. One easy way to get your ticket number if your PNR is current is to Direct Message @AmericanAir on Twitter.
These can be used to check ticket status or request refunds on https://prefunds.aa.com/refunds/.
For awards you will not see the print receipt option in your PNR. For most other ticketed trips booked on AA.com, or using AA, you will see the option toward the bottom of the PNR.
LukasVIE has found a nice workaround:
(paraphrased for more general use)
Here is how you will get your e-ticket number:
1.Open your award reservation on AA.com
2.Copy and paste this link in a new tab (or current tab) in your browser (do it with right click as Flyertalk truncates hyperlinks)
https://www.aa.com/reservation/print...raryReceipt.do
3. Press enter and execute the link. You should see a receipt with e-ticket number.

And:
For AA bookings with interline segments, accessing/e-mailing the e-ticket receipt through Amadeus might be a good option. With the Amadeus record locator, the following sites will print the current AA receipt (arguably in a better format than AA itself provides:
http://www.amadeus.com.tw/eitr/default.aspx (Chinese language site, enter PNR in first box, last name in second box, etkt pops up moments after clicking go)
http://eticket.qatarairways.com/eTic...rentrypage.jsf (click the schedule change box before hitting process ticket)
http://www.amadeus.com.tw/eitr/default.aspx (Chinese language site, enter PNR in first box, last name in second box, etkt pops up moments after clicking go)
http://eticket.qatarairways.com/eTic...rentrypage.jsf (click the schedule change box before hitting process ticket)
Your ticket number can be found on your credit card bill. Just look at your credit card billing on line after the ticket status is "Ticketed". It's a 13-digit number starting with 001 for AA.

AFAIK, revenue ticket# still show up on reservation. For award, just give AA a call. If calling is not an option, then wait for credit card posting/statement. Or if award is on an Amaedus carrier (CX,BA,QF, QR etc), post the other carrier PNR# (requires calling AA to obtain if you didn't obtain it when booking over the phone) and plug it into QR manage booking website to obtain ticket#.

Additionally, for a round-trip paid ticket with all legs on AA, the prefunds.aa site also still works to get a receipt.
Am I just that lucky?
(to be honest, I think the site is just finicky)

A tip that most of you probably know, but if you want a receipt for any kind of AA ticket (TA issued, Award, AA.com, Expedia etc.) I've always been successful asking a check-in / ticket counter / AAdmirals Club agent to print one for me, on ticket (boarding pass) stock. It shows the name, fare calculation & fare paid, and since it's an actual agent printing it you get all the previous tickets if it went through reissues (Miles + Copay, SWU, etc.) Sometimes messing around on the website isn't just worth it if an agent can do it in seconds.

Assuming there's a missing "How do I" at the beginning of this post... if you have the ticket number you can request a receipt from www.refunds.aa.com

Yes, once on the https://prefunds.aa.com/refunds/ site, click "Request a Receipt" and enter your ticket number. If you don't know your ticket number (or you deleted the email containing it), the ticket number is usually on your credit card billing statement for the flight purchase.
I was able to retrieve a receipt from a trip in May, so hopefully it works for you.

Where Is E-Ticket Number Hidden On AA.com "My Trips"?
I booked an AAnytime award, which was confirmed by e-mail with an embedded e-Ticket number (which I missed seeing a couple times) but online under "My Trips" there's no ability to see the E-Ticket # or print a receipt/e-ticket.
There is a record locator and the status has changed from pending to ticketed, and I received an e-mail from my bank for the charge but I am certain in the past under my trips there was an ability to print a proper receipt and e-ticket vs. print out the e-mail itself.
Is this new? Not a very useful change if the e-mail is the only evidence of an actual ticket number.
