Elevate your status and move up to more benefits
Qualify for status with Loyalty Points
Loyalty Points are the new way to reach AAdvantage® status. You’ll qualify for status based on the Loyalty Points posted to your account for the 12-month period starting on March 1 of each year. And, the new AAdvantage® status membership year is valid through March 31 of each year.
You’ll earn Loyalty Points as you earn eligible AAdvantage® miles whenever you fly, use an AAdvantage® credit card for purchases, or earn eligible miles with AAdvantage® partners. One eligible AAdvantage® mile equals one Loyalty Point.
Loyalty Points needed to earn status
| Qualification | AAdvantage Gold® oneworld® Ruby |
AAdvantage Platinum® oneworld® Sapphire |
AAdvantage Platinum Pro® oneworld® Emerald |
AAdvantage Executive Platinum® oneworld® Emerald |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Loyalty Points | 40,000 | 75,000 | 125,000 | 200,000 |
Qualification and membership year period
The status qualification year starts on March 1 and runs through the last day of February of the following year.
- For example, in 2024, your counter will restart on March 1, 2024, and run through February 28, 2025.
- The membership year (when your status is valid) takes effect the date you qualify, or April 1 (whichever comes first) and will be valid through March 31.
AAdvantage® miles and Loyalty Points earned on posted purchases made with your AAdvantage® credit card will count based on the transaction date captured in the cardmember’s credit card account. AAdvantage® miles and Loyalty Points typically post to the applicable AAdvantage® account within 8 to 10 weeks. Keep in mind, Loyalty Points from credit card purchases that show a transaction date on or after March 1 count toward the new qualification year.
Review your AAdvantage® Aviator® Mastercard® Reward Rules for details.
All other flight and partner transactions will count based on the activity date of the flight or other transaction.
