Cobranded American Airlines credit cards<\/a> let you earn American miles and Loyalty Points<\/a> when you make purchases with your card. But on Wednesday, Dec. 6, I got an email from the American Airlines AAdvantage<\/a> program titled “Reaching AAdvantage\u00ae status with your credit card.” The highlight of the email is displayed under the “What has changed?” heading:<\/p>\n

The Loyalty Points you earn on AAdvantage\u00ae credit card* purchases between March 1 and the end of February of the following year count toward the current status qualification year. This means you can earn Loyalty Points through February 29, 2024, instead of your last statement close date of the qualification year.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The asterisk in the above statement from the email notes that “For AAdvantage\u00ae credit cards issued outside of the U.S., Loyalty Point earn will continue to count based on the date the activity posts to the primary cardmember’s AAdvantage\u00ae account.” So, this news is only relevant for American Airlines loyalists with credit cards issued in the U.S.<\/p>\n
