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?

I used a meal voucher fairly recently (cannot say if it was post switch as I do not know when the switch occurred) and beyond some head scratching the bar tender was able to make it work and the food was not terrible actually.

I'm all about Popeye's spicy chicken at DFW A..

You're not the guy who brought it onboard to eat on a flight to DCA last week were you? I didn't appreciate it

Not this time No, usually, I will take to the AC to be complimented by some fine BUD. I have noticed over time that there are some jealous looks at the bar as a nibble on the spicy crunchiness.

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

Of course not?
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.

Sometimes stores have no fee for buying prepaid Mastercard. I bought some recently to hit a spending requirement for a credit card bonus. When I use them online, I just use my name and address info and they work fine. I assume these would to.
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
