AA and Points.com no more miles redemption for gift cards (June 2020)

I am sorry to have to start a new thread,but my search for a similar one came up empty.

It appears that AA has pulled the ability to redeem miles for gift cards. I redeemed for a few last week without issue, and yesterday when I tried again, I received a message that AA does not allow gift card redemptions. I was nowhere near the limit of 150K per year, so that is not the issue.

Has anyone else encountered a similar message?

How much $$ in gift cards did 150K miles get you?

This conserves cash flow. At this point being able to redeem miles for any type of cash equivalent is a dent in AA's on-hand cash which they are desperately trying to hold on to to make it through this down turn. Makes sense they would eliminate this option.

Has there been any news as to when they will allow gift card redemptions again?

Apologies for bumping my last post. But has there been any update to AA's redemption policy (miles for gift cards)? I tried searching the AA site but it appears down.
