Discounted AA certificates
 

volumebuy.com is offering AA certificates at discounted prices right now (~15% off). They have $50, $100, and $250 certs. The higher priced certs are at a fixed 15% off (if you can wait two weeks). The cool part is that as more people buy $50 certs the price drops. Right now they're at $43.75 but could go as low as $37.50 (25% off!). This particular deal ends at 1pm today but may be back.

$50 certs: http://www.volumebuy.com/ then click on the Volume $$$ tab.

Can these be used on any price fare and can they be combined?

Yes and yes, according to the VolumeBuy fine print. I'm also getting free shipping. Customer service was also quite helpful (877) 345-9896.

Great find golden girl! Looks like I and others just bought a bunch of AA certs at 25% discount.

Great! Thanks, golden girl!

You can also buy DL shuttle tickets from DCA to LGA or BOS at steep discounts ($105 - $187 off). Those tickets are completely changeable with no fee. Very good site!

PS - This is a CA firm so the 1pm deadline is PST. Enjoy!

FWIW it still seems to be available at 5:00 EST time. Marketing?

They also have a 5k sweepstakes entry with their registration. Best of luck to all. Thanks GG.

Thank you again! This was a great find and a good bookmark for me now.
Thanks!

Golden Girl you are now the Golden Child! Great find. I have a AA trip to Japan coming up and the RT fare is $961, ouch! 20 $50 certs for $750 plus I will have $39 left over.

I just used these certificates to book a flight and I didn't have to pay the Federal Excise Tax - so I got another 8% off! These are too good to be true.

Sounds great -- but can I use them when I reserve on AA website?? Hate to not get that booking bonus!!

You can call AA (then send in the coupons), go to a ticket office, or use an authorized travel agent (if they can print tickets on AA ticket stock they can handle these certificates). But for ~25% off, I'm willing to lose the booking bonus http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Correction! SNA_Flyer (in the AA Forum) has a way to get the online bonus as well. Perfect.

It was my impression that you have to call the number in the back of the certificate (the meeting department?) so that you don't have to pay the 8% tax. If you book the flight through the web site you might not get this additional discount. If you have use these certificates, please let us know of your experiences.

I recently purchased some of these certificates and applied them to a flight I had booked. The agent only charged me tax on the remaining balance which added to the savings.

Very Cool.
