Ah, the world of business travel rewards – a realm where every point counts, every mile matters, and the promise of a plush airport lounge feels like a golden ticket. But, in the ever-evolving landscape of travel perks, change is the only constant. American Airlines is here to simplify and elevate your business travel game with the relaunch of its coveted awards program. Say hello to AAdvantage Business, the shining star of unmanaged business travel.
AAdvantage Business: Redefining Rewards for Business Travelers
As of October 16, American Airlines has ushered in a game-changer, bidding adieu to the former Business Extra program and welcoming AAdvantage Business with open arms. This revamped program doesn’t just simplify; it supercharges your business travel experience.
Earning Status and Rewards, Made Effortless
AAdvantage Business is designed to make life easier for both solo business travelers and companies alike. So, what’s new in this exciting era of rewards?
1. One Point Closer to Status
For employees jet-setting on behalf of small- and medium-sized businesses, the journey to status accrual has become a breeze. With AAdvantage Business, you earn one point for every dollar spent, inching closer to AAdvantage loyalty status with every trip. It’s a perk that wasn’t available in the Business Extra era, making your business travel even more rewarding.
2. Companies Soaring Higher
For businesses, the benefits are equally enticing. When your company registers with AAdvantage Business, you earn one reward mile for every dollar spent on flights, as long as the bookings are made through the American Airlines website or app. It’s a seamless way for your company to rack up miles while your employees take to the skies.
Unveiling a World of Redemption Possibilities
Now, here’s where the excitement truly takes flight. AAdvantage Business unlocks a treasure trove of redemption options, giving your business more ways to make those hard-earned miles work for you.
1. Miles, Miles, Everywhere
The miles your company accumulates through AAdvantage Business are your golden ticket to a world of travel possibilities. Think flights, hotels, car rentals, and Admiral Club passes – all within your grasp. Your miles are your currency in the AAdvantage program, and the options are as vast as the skies you travel.
2. Beyond the Ordinary
What sets AAdvantage Business apart is the boundless array of redemption possibilities. No more limitations on what you can redeem. In the bygone Business Extra days, points had their limits. You could earn them for flights, upgrades, lounge access, and loyalty status, but lodging and car rentals were off the table. AAdvantage Business sweeps those limitations aside, offering you the freedom to choose how you want to spend your well-earned miles.
Charting the Course with AAdvantage Business
For businesses ready to embark on this rewarding journey, there are a few prerequisites. To join AAdvantage Business, your company should have a minimum of five employees, a small requirement for the grand rewards that await. Registering is a breeze at aa.com/advantagebusiness.
Smooth Transition, Boundless Opportunities
Now, what about those trusty points you’ve earned under the Business Extra program? Fear not. You can continue to redeem them until January 31, ensuring that your journey is seamless as you transition into the AAdvantage Business era.
Seize the Skies with AAdvantage Business
To kickstart your AAdvantage Business journey, companies will need to cancel and rebook any existing Business Extra reservations. It’s a small step for your business, but a giant leap in the world of business travel rewards.
So, here’s to a new era of business travel rewards, where every mile takes you closer to your dream destination, and every point is a step up the ladder of success. AAdvantage Business is your passport to unbounded possibilities. Get ready to soar higher and embrace a world of rewards that knows no limits.
