What happened
American Airlines AAdvantage miles are primarily earned through Citi ThankYou Rewards, but Chase Ultimate Rewards holders can still book AA flights. There are three main methods: 1. Transfer to Oneworld Partners: Transfer Chase points 1:1 to British Airways, Aer Lingus, or Iberia (all use Avios) and book AA-operated flights. Examples include NYC to Miami for 18,000 Avios + $5.60 taxes, or CLT to Frankfurt for 28,000 Avios + ~$328 taxes. 2. Chase Travel Portal: Redeem points directly for flights booked through the Chase Travel platform. 3. Transfer Bonuses: Monitor Chase for occasional transfer bonuses to stretch points further.
