Buying 500 mile upgrades on aa.com not easily found
Recently aa.com changed the layout/design of the account info page where we now can see at the top summary how many 500 mile upgrades we have left, but despite navigating all over the site I cannot find the option to buy them if I'm low and wish to top off my balance.
I did end up find them using the search box and a few links came up that worked, but unless I'm blind or overlooked something too obvious - can anyone figure out how to actually navigate to the option of purchasing 500 mile upgrade certs?
