American Airlines Elite Members To Earn Nothing On Basic Economy From 2027
Original: Why American Airlines Elites Booking Basic Economy In 2027 Now Earn Nothing & Upgrade To Nothing
American Airlines is changing its loyalty program so that elite members who book Basic Economy fares in 2027 will earn no redeemable miles or Loyalty Points and will not be eligible for upgrades. The move closes a workaround frequent flyers have used to keep elite benefits on the cheapest fares. Frequent flyers are likely to criticize the change as a further devaluation of elite status.
Why now: Frequent flyers are reacting to the announcement that Basic Economy fares will no longer earn elite credits or upgrades from 2027.
