Summary
American Airlines has two types of points: miles and Loyalty Points. Miles are earned through flights, credit cards, and other means, and can be redeemed for flights, upgrades, and more. Loyalty Points, on the other hand, are used to earn elite status and Loyalty Point Rewards, and reset to zero every March 1. The article explains the difference between the two and how to earn and use them.
Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
American Airlines miles and Loyalty Points are two different things. Miles can be earned through flights, credit cards, and shopping, and can be redeemed for flights, upgrades, and more. Loyalty Points, on the other hand, are used to earn elite status and Loyalty Point Rewards, and reset to zero every March 1. Some credit cards and promotions can also earn Loyalty Points. The airline uses a March 1 to Feb. 28 (or Feb. 29 in leap years) period for elite qualification.
With American Airlines, the relaxation requires planning, and the escape needs Wi-Fi.
