Using the app without Aadvantage Number?>

So I was a lucky person whose AAdvantage account was cancelled by AA, and I now have an upcoming AA trip. Booked it online without needing an AA number. But to use the app, it's requiring that I log in with an AA number. Is there a workaround? Thanks !

If you're using an iPhone then yes. I have never used the Android app so can't comment on that.

When you open the iOS app it'll pull up the log in page, but on the bottom right corner there should be a button that says Continue As Guest. You'll have to manually enter your PNR but the app should remember it each time you open the app. Hope that helps!

Just tried it on my iPhone, and it worked perfectly. Thanks so much.

I hope that you're at least crediting your AA flights to another FFP.

I'm looking at the Android AA app as I type. The upper portion has fields for Log in. Below that are 2 large buttons, one labeled "Join AAdvantage" and the other "Continue as guest". I use the latter and it lets me do everything I need to do.
