It provides a chance for quicker status accrual for business travelers and opens up more redemption options for businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Under AAdvantage Business, employees flying for participating small- and medium-sized businesses will earn one point per dollar spent toward AAdvantage loyalty status, a perk that wasn&#8217;t offered under Business Extra. The points will be accrued in addition to reward miles and loyalty points flyers earn as an individual AAdvantage member.\u00a0<span><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, companies that register with AAdvantage Business will earn one reward mile for every dollar they spend on flights. The travel must be purchased through the American Airlines website or app.<\/p>\n<p>Companies can redeem their miles for any service that is available for purchase within the AAdvantage program, including flights, hotels, car rentals and Admiral Club passes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Opinion: The affordability of flying could be fading<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The redemption options, American said, are wider than what was available under Business Extra. That program had its own point system, with one point earned for every $5 a company spent on flights. Those points could be redeemed for flights, upgrades, lounge access and AAdvantage Gold or Platinum status, but couldn&#8217;t be redeemed for lodging or car rental.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To participate in AAdvantage Business, companies must have at least five employees. They can register at aa.com\/aadvantagebusiness.<\/p>\n<p>Companies can still redeem points earned under the Business Extra program through Jan. 31.<\/p>\n<p>To earn points AAdvantage Business for upcoming travel, companies will need to cancel and rebook Business Extra reservations.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelweekly.com\/Travel-News\/Airline-News\/American-relaunches-business-travel-rewards-program\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American Airlines is simplifying and rebranding its awards program for unmanaged business travel.\u00a0 The new program, which went live on<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":95458,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
