No. The American Airlines Vacations credit doesn’t apply to flights booked directly through AA.com. Instead, you’ll need to book an eligible American Airlines Vacations package or experience through AAVacations.com and pay with your eligible card to qualify for the statement credit.
Beginning Aug. 23, cardholders can earn up to $250 in statement credits from January through June and another up to $250 from July through December when booking eligible American Airlines Vacations packages or experiences. The new credit arrives alongside a broader refresh to the card, including an increase in the card's annual fee from $595 to $695, meaning cardholders who maximize the benefit can recoup much of the added cost.
Unlike a straightforward airline credit, this perk comes with specific booking requirements. So what qualifies, and how can you get the most value from the credit?
