Hi Jarrod. I am trying to find out how to book award travel on American using my husband’s many Qatar Q-Miles. There are many articles on how to do the opposite but I can’t find this answer anywhere! If you have any insight I’d love to hear!

Hi Kyla,
You’d need to book through the Qatar website on a flight operated by American. This guide we have should help steer you in the right direction!

Will all the American Airlines points I have be void on January 1, 2022?

Hi Brenda,
No, your American miles will still be valid going forward.

Does a card like the CitiBusiness / AAdvantage Platinum Select Mastercard that gives 2x miles per $1 spent on cable and satellite providers, at gas stations, on car rentals, and on select telecommunications merchants also give 2x Loyalty points on those purchases or only miles?

Hi Don,
You’ll only earn 1 Loyalty Point per $1 spent regardless of the bonus category.

Hi all. Will earned credit card Loyalty Points in February be valid for the month of February? Because it always takes a month when AA receives this information. So for example on March 5th they add your points for February will they still count for your status? I am a few points away from a status upgrade.

Hi Johan,
Your points are valid for the month they are posted in, so if the points do not post until March then that is the month they will be valid for. However, oftentimes loyalty points can post quite quickly depending on how you earn them.
