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.

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!

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 
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.
