I ran into some terrrrrible luck last night. Needed to use my $200. So purchase an award ticket with $40 in tax. 12 hours later it's still pending and hasn't charged my card, now it's 2020. Also tried to purchase a $160 mileage booster or whatever they call it for 5,000 miles. Tried 5 times and it never went through (Authorized) Just AA site gave me an error. Went on the phone and processed one for $130 for 4K, and that never posted nor did I get a receipt. Major F up on AA's IT, and I guess I'm screwed.

I bought a $161.25 Mileage multiplier and $59 day pass. Both reimbursed. I think I will go ahead and buy Admiral's club membership to get $50 applied next year and $250 for that. Question is if I want to open a gold card to split so it costs me less.

Naw that wasn't the case, as the ticket shows issued the next day. Doesn't matter as it was last minute. Leaving this afternoon. I know this will be a big argument, don't want to throw the money away.

Upgrades to MCE got processed and credited on 12/31 after purchase on 12/28. Fees for the award tickets that the upgrades were purchased for did not credit after posting at the same time as the upgrades.

Well, Happy New Year everyone and don't forget to log in and change your airline if the post-GC world on AA isn't for you anymore.
I'm switching over to WN for 2020. I fly enough <$100 segments on them, plus buy some onboard wifi and drinks, it should be a quick $250 without any unusual hoops to jump through.

Reports seem to be inconsistent about the $40 500-mile upgrades being reimbursed. I just purchased one through the AA app and will report back.

I had no issue with 500-mile upgrades being reimbursed, in mid-December 2019

Will any flight tax or fee amount on AA.com work to get the airline credit on my Aspire card?
Looking to book international partner award on AA.com and tax and fees for 3 of us comes to around $300.
Thank you

Great, glad to know the 500 mile certs work. I have status and my wife doesn't and we are low on 500 mile upgrades and when I clear and she doesn't have any it messes with our reservation. So my $250 hilton amex will go wards award certs.
