The AAdvantage Business program<\/a> is designed to let businesses earn American Airlines miles on employee travel while rewarding employees with additional Loyalty Points. However, to fully participate in the program, businesses usually need to maintain $5,000 in eligible program-flown revenue and have at least five registered and active business travelers.<\/p>\n Many small businesses find these requirements infeasible given their company’s size. Luckily, businesses can bypass these requirements if an authorized representative for the business is a cardholder of an eligible AAdvantage Business cobranded card, such as the Citi\u00ae\u202f\/ AAdvantage Business\u2122\u202fWorld Elite Mastercard\u00ae<\/a><\/span> (see rates and fees<\/a>).<\/p>\n So, here’s how and why your small business might want to get an AAdvantage Business card.<\/p>\n Through the AAdvantage Business program, your business earns 1 mile per dollar, and travelers earn 1 Loyalty Point per dollar on eligible flights purchased through American-owned channels<\/a> (including aa.com, American Airlines Reservations and the American app). As a reminder, miles are redeemable toward flights, while Loyalty Points are the metric through which you can earn elite status with American Airlines<\/a>.<\/p>\nHow does the AAdvantage Business program work?<\/h2>\n
