I interpreted the statement to mean that when he's done it, it wasn't on hold for a long time, in his opinion.

BTW, I'm confused by a reference to the OP being an authorized user. Does this mean that the fly now and pay later card is his wife's account? If so, have they been separated or divorced?

Maybe I'm missing something when I read the T&Cs for the "Fly Now Payment Plan". If properly paid off within the 6 month time period (meeting the requirements of minimum monthly/payment due date) the purchaser/passenger will pay no interest. Now IF you pay you leave any balance even 1 penny at the end of the6 month payment period you will owe interest all the way back to the original purchase date.

If I read the correctly then for some it might not be a bad way to go.

No - the opposite. I've always called to get the ticket issued.
It they were all paid for, then I suspect the penalty, if any, would be less severe than if they weren't. At this point, all you can do is wait.

I’m curious how AA corporate security would definitively tie a FT user name to a specific individual though. This can’t be the only case of its kind currently under investigation.

It would take an analyst approx 6-10 (:)) seconds to immediately recognize the case. And only -that- long if still severely hungover from the 4th

do you have any speculated insight into how long these audits take?

Herrick Jul 5, 2019 3:51 pm
I see what you did there JonNYC!

Why wouldn't you just use a normal credit card? If you didn't have any nefarious intentions and truly intended to buy the tickets, why wouldn't you just purchase them with a credit card like a normal person? I'd never even heard of the "Fly Now" card or whatever it's called. Seems many others here (mostly frequent AA flyers) hadn't either.

Interesting... I would think this case would stick out like a sore thumb from the usual attempts to sell miles/SWUs, and would be very easily recognized by AA security.

If I wanted to hold a seat/fare I'd go to a travel agent or pay for a hold. All I am saying is the CC we've had issues with has been the AA Fly now card. I've had the card get declined either because the payment we made had not posted or processed. in no way was there intent to abuse the system. Other than tell them that do I have any recourse? I am looking for ways to resolve this issue as I've been a loyal Exec Plat for years and have a ton of miles in my account all of which are now frozen.
Nobody’s been “harsh.” They are asking how many times since 2016 has this occurred.

AA doesn’t do this unless there is a pattern and if this has occurred more than a couple of times, it can be called a pattern. As was advised, be honest with them and see what happens.

the plan allows you to defer payment for 6 months before interest accrues. This is serviced by Citibank - it can only be used on AA/AA.COM

thanks. that is what I did...nothing wrong with harsh feedback. at this point I don't have any other choice but wait and pray that someone will have some level of mercy and my Exec Plat status and spend will help.

I would assume they are going to cancel your account and if they don’t, I would be surprised.

OP can answer, but I can see niche cases where it would be useful if OP was having his travel expenses reimbursed over a time horizon that was greater than the grace period on his card, but less than 6 months.
