Using American Airlines Gift Cards

American Airlines Gift Cards are easy to redeem on AA.com. If you received a plastic Gift Card and you're ready to redeem your Gift Card, be sure to gently scratch off the grey film covering the four-digit PIN # on the back of the card. If you received a virtual card you may retrieve your Card # and PIN # by clicking on the link sent to you via email.

On the payment screen, enter both the Card # and PIN # exactly as they appear on the back of the Gift Card. If the total price of the ticket exceeds the value of your Gift Card, you may use a credit card for any remaining balance.

Note: Gift Cards are redeemable toward the initial electronic ticket purchase of air travel for itineraries sold and originating in the U.S., Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands. Gift Cards are redeemable to purchase the base airfare and directly associated taxes, fees and charges collected as part of the fare calculation. Gift Cards may not be used for other products or services (including upgrades, Admirals Club membership or day passes, in-flight purchases or enhanced seat products) or for any additional fees (including baggage fees, pet fees, unaccompanied minor fees, ticketing fees for transactions processed through reservations, or any taxes, fees or charges payable with AAdvantage® award travel or American Airlines Vacations℠). Gift Cards may be used only for travel on flights marketed by American Airlines, including those operated by American Eagle®, oneworld® airlines, and by other codeshare partners with an American Airlines flight number.
