Award Chart, Transfers and Expiration
American Airlines publishes a oneworld and other airline award chart. The miles shown are estimated starting values for one-way trips by origin region, destination region and cabin, for informational purposes only. We use the chart as a guide to starting points rather than fixed award prices.
Citi ThankYou Points transfer to AAdvantage at 1:1 from premium cards such as Citi Strata Elite, Citi Strata Premier and Citi Prestige, and at 1:0.7 from other eligible ThankYou cards. This path lets US travelers move Citi points into AAdvantage for partner award searches.
AAdvantage miles expire after 24 months without qualifying activity, meaning earning or redeeming with American or AAdvantage partners. Primary AAdvantage co-branded cardmembers and members under 21 are exempt.
See details on Citi transfers in our Citi ThankYou transfer partners guide. Broader transfer options appear in points transfer times for Chase, Amex, Capital One, Citi and Bilt.
Surcharges and Cancellation
AAdvantage flight awards are subject to applicable surcharges assessed by airline AAdvantage partners. Partners such as British Airways and Iberia add charges that vary by route, cabin and city.
Miles are reinstated for wholly unused award tickets canceled before departure while the ticket is still valid (up to one year from issue). There is no fee to cancel online before the first flight.
