AAdvantage Points Through Orbitz, etc
 

If I book a flight through Orbotz, Expedia, etc. can I still claim airline points? Specifically AAdvantage points.

Yes, you can. These are essentially web-based travel agent replacements. FF miles may, however, be denied if you purchase through a consolidator or sites such as Priceline. Check with your FF program for specifics.

Kucera,<BR><BR>I know about Orbitz, but not Expedia. During the booking process on Orbitz, you will be asked to fill in flyers names, seating preferences and FF number. <BR><BR>This should take care of it. However, I would suggest you check with American Airlines after you book on Orbitz just to make sure.<BR><BR>In addition, you can take your FF card to the airport when you check in.<BR><BR>FF

You will get all the actual flying miles, but you will not get the 1000 bonus points for booking on AA.com.

I use Orbtiz and Expedia all the time and have profiles with all my ff #s and I have yet to not have to call and have my # added to the ticket, no big deal, but they do have the lowest prices online that I have found and the best system for booking. Buck
