アメリカン航空は、対象となるAAdvantage会員がウェブサイトとモバイルアプリを通じて航空券を購入する際に、現金とマイルを組み合わせて利用できるようになると発表した。この機能は今後数週間で順次導入される。会員はまず現金価格で表示された便を選択し、会計時にアメリカン航空が現金とAAdvantageマイルの組み合わせを表示し、スライダーで調整できる。合計価格は選択した組み合わせに応じて更新される。この変更により、特典航空券全額を賄うだけのポイントを貯めていなくても、顧客はマイル残高を利用する新たな手段を得ることになる。アメリカン航空はこれを、AAdvantage会員がプログラムをより柔軟に利用できるようにする広範な取り組みの一環と位置付けている。この動きの背景には、収益性の高い頻繁搭乗者を巡る競争の激化がある。ユナイテッド航空は最近、アメリカン航空とデルタ航空の上級会員を直接ターゲットにしたステータスマッチキャンペーンを開始し、対象となるアメリカン航空とデルタ航空の顧客に90日間の同等のMileagePlusステータスを提供している。これは、搭乗と利用の要件を満たすことで2028年1月31日まで延長可能で、要件はエントリーレベルのPremier Silverステータスで対象となるユナイテッド航空での利用額1500ドルから、Premier 1Kで7000ドルに及ぶ。アメリカン航空も独自に、ユナイテッド航空、デルタ航空、サウスウエスト航空、ジェットブルー航空の対象顧客向けのステータスマッチ特典を用意している。アメリカン航空はまた、AAdvantageの特典を拡大しており、15000ロイヤルティポイントに到達した会員は対象となる機内食と飲料のクーポンを2つ選択できるほか、各種レベルでの特典には現在、The New York Times、Games、Cooking、The Athleticの購読が含まれ、ミリオンマイラーの節目に到達した顧客向けには追加のギフトの選択肢も計画されている。
