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?

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

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.

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.
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.
