| From | Ratio | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Citi ThankYou Rewards | 1:1 from Citi Strata Premier, Strata Elite, and Prestige (premium cards); 1:0.7 from no-annual-fee Citi cards | Added July 27, 2025 — Citi ThankYou is now a major flexible-currency program that transfers to AAdvantage, making it AA's most strategic on-ramp. Premium-card holders get 1:1; no-annual-fee Citi cardholders transfer at a worse 1:0.7 ratio. Typically near-instant transfer. No federal excise tax pass-through. |
| Marriott Bonvoy | 3:1 | Hotel-to-airline transfer at a flat 3:1 (60K Marriott = 20K AAdvantage). American is excluded from Marriott's 5K-per-60K transfer bonus. Marriott absorbs the federal excise tax, no fee passed through. Posts in 2-7 days, not instant. |
