American Airlines Expands Frequent Cargo Program

American Airlines Cargo Division (AA Cargo) has redesigned its Business ExtrAA program, which allows nearly all cargo customers to earn travel awards for booking cargo shipments. For every shipment on American Airlines, regardless of the size or booking method, eligible AA Cargo customers earn points that can be redeemed for travel-related awards such as airline travel certificates, upgrades, and Admirals Club memberships or passes. Previously, the program only rewarded customers for booking their shipments online.

For every $40,000 in eligible shipping revenue on American Airlines, customers will earn 2,000 points—the equivalent of a PlanAAhead Award for the continental U.S., Canada, and Mexico in Economy Class. In addition, customers will earn 20 bonus points for the company’s express freight product, Expeditefs, plus five bonus points for making their bookings online. Eligible AA Cargo customers can earn up to 200,000 points per calendar year. Other program terms and conditions apply.

American Airlines Cargo, a division of American Airlines, Inc., provides over 100 million pounds of weekly cargo lift capacity to major cities in the United States, Europe, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Latin America and Asia.
