If you book flights with a traditional travel agency, or even an online agency, you could lose your right to earn miles.
Don’t let American Airlines eliminate consumer choice.
More than $95.3 billion in airline tickets were sold by travel advisors and online agencies last year (about 40% of all airline tickets).*
Business and leisure travelers – and even government flyers – depend on travel advisors for many services beyond ticket purchasing.
If you book flights with a travel agency, or even an online agency, you could lose your right to earn miles.
IT’S CLEAR: THIS ANTI-CONSUMER, ANTI-COMPETITIVE MOVE BY AMERICAN DEMANDS A RESPONSE. THE AIRLINE’S LATEST ANNOUNCEMENT IS POWERFUL EVIDENCE OF ITS MONOPOLISTIC BEHAVIOR.
Save Your Miles. Take action.
Congress, don’t let American Airlines eliminate consumer choice.
American Airlines is wielding its considerable market power to condition the way miles and loyalty points are awarded and, in the process, disenfranchising customers who prefer to — or have to — book through a travel agency.
Starting May 1, the burden is now on the traveler to make sure their agency is preferred, and jump through even more hoops, just to obtain their loyalty points.
American’s behavior is monopolistic and should be concerning to lawmakers who value consumer choice. Please take a moment to contact your Members of Congress and express your concern with American’s practices.
