It’s a win-win. We’ve designed a simple program that goes above and beyond in delivering rewards and tools that benefit everyone.”
This loyalty program allows businesses to earn 1 AAdvantage mile per $1 spent on qualifying business travel purchases. In turn, the company can redeem the miles on future trips.
Employees will receive an additional 1 Loyalty Point per $1 spent in addition to the usual benefit of 5 AAdvantage miles and 1 Loyalty Point per $1 through their personal AAdvantage membership.
