American Airlines has a loyalty program called AAdvantage. As a member of the AAdvantage program you can earn miles and then use earned miles for award flights on American. Miles are earned when you fly or shop with the partners. While it is quite clear how you can earn miles on American Airlines, you may find it difficult to redeem them.

How to use frequent flyer miles with American Airlines

If you are an AAdvantage member with, for example, the Citi® / AAdvantage® Executive World Elite Mastercard® (expired offer) credit card or the AAdvantage Aviator Red Mastercard and you've managed to collect a bunch of miles, you may want to redeem them for your next flight with American Airlines or Oneworld partners. But before you redeem, you should know how many frequent flyer miles you will need for an award flight with American Airlines. With flexible plans, you can grab MileSAAver awards for as low as 7,500 miles each way. Remember that taxes and fees are paid with cash. With no blackout dates, you can use AAnytime awards for any seat on an American Airlines flight for 20,000 miles each way. For example, if you have the above-mentioned Citi/AAdvantage credit card and managed to grab the promo offer of 70,000 miles, then you will have enough miles for a round-trip domestic ticket.

Keep in mind that award levels vary by date and region. To redeem, you should simply log in to your AAdvantage account and book your flight using miles. Note that not all redemptions are available online, for some redemptions you will need to contact American Airlines Reservations.
