FORT WORTH, Texas — The American Airlines AAdvantage® program received two top honors in the 2022 The Points Guy Editors’ Choice Awards. AAdvantage® Executive Platinum status was named the Best U.S. Airline Elite Status and Loyalty Points received the Innovation Award: Loyalty.
“We’re honored that AAdvantage continues to be recognized as one of the best loyalty programs,” said Heather Samp, Managing Director of the AAdvantage program for American. “Our members inspired us to introduce Loyalty Points this year, and we’ve been thrilled with the positive feedback we’ve heard from members so far. This recognition confirms we’re on the right track. We look forward to continuing to deliver more value to AAdvantage members in the future.”
American introduced Loyalty Points in March of this year to simplify AAdvantage members’ ability to achieve status through the program. Members earn miles and Loyalty Points when they fly, use an AAdvantage credit card for purchases or engage with more than 1,000 AAdvantage partners. Members still have until the end of February 2023 to earn enough Loyalty Points to achieve status in the program and enjoy status benefits through March 2024.
The AAdvantage program has previously received several awards from The Points Guy Awards. In 2021, the program won The Points Guy Readers’ Choice Awards for Best U.S. Airline Loyalty Program and the AAdvantage Executive Platinum® tier received Best U.S. Airline Elite Status. In 2020, the AAdvantage program won the inaugural Editors’ Choice award as recognition for the customer-friendly initiatives announced by the program that year to care for customers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
