In addition to being affiliated with a solid program, the cards have long featured a benefit that can represent real extra value, both to holding an AAdvantage credit card specifically and to program membership generally: discounted award tickets.
Every quarter, holders of the various AAdvantage-affiliated credit cards can book awards to selected U.S. and Canadian destinations at discounted cheap canadian online airline tickets prices. The discount varies, according to the card type.
For the higher-annual-fee Platinum, World Elite, and Select cards, first-class award prices are reduced from 50,000 miles to 42,500 miles; and coach awards are discounted from 25,000 to 17,500 miles. That's a 15 percent discount for first class and a hefty 30 percent discount for coach.
The list of eligible award destinations for the January-through-March quarter includes 12 destinations in the Northeast, 34 in the Midwest, 36 in the Southeast, 33 in the Southwest, and five in Canada.
But there are plenty of cities well worth visiting. Among the destinations that caught my eye: New York (LaGuardia but not JFK), Charlotte, Washington, DC, Pensacola, Houston, Albuquerque, Santa Barbara, Memphis, Salt Lake City, Montreal, and Toronto.
