I really don't get when people say these things. Is this an issue that should go up to the CEO level? Of course not! However, this is an issue that should be brought to the attention of the manager for the Admirals Club.

THis does sound odd because the vouchers I got in MIA (many vouchers, 2 in person then 2 in e-mail) were Mastercard account numbers that were scanned at one merchant and typed in at others. Surely the AC accepts Mastercard?

Delta still prohibits members from bringing in the sky club any food from outside. Not sure if they have a a menu to order like we do in AA clubs, but I'm definitely glad to be able to bring in food from the terminal. I've done my share of dunkin donuts brought in when I've gotten a sweet tooth for breakfast.

But, back on topic. I hope AA food vouchers are accepted at Popeye's, as much as can enjoy the pressed panini..

What is an issue that should be brought to the CEO?
Do you know many online reviews are for nothing relevant to the business? Do you think the business owner would prefer to be notified before the review? I sure would.

Was that an option? Drat! I had a 15-hour delay out of PHX last night and I used it at some restaurant for a pre-flight lunch since AA's inflight meals usually suck. Today was no exception. Cheeseburger or "Carribean" chicken salad.

I tried this for Starbucks, but it requires the full address and name for the card. Any other ways to use this? None of the restaurants in the airport would accept it since it was not a paper voucher.

The few times I got these I used them to refill my dunkin donuts account.

Though it isn't direct payment for food at the airport, it evens out in the end,
I used them to pay off internet, cell phone, and electric bills. Not for the water/sewer/trash bill because I would get charged 3% for that
