How to Transfer AA Points to Another Plan

Airline companies such as American Airlines offer incentive points and miles for their customers and frequent flyers. Established more than 25 years ago, the AAdvantage® program is the world's largest frequent flyer program with over 20 companies that fly under the "One world" alliance of carriers. Transferring AA points to another person's plan is quick and easy and the points can be redeemed for free flights, upgrades on existing flights, hotels, car rentals and other travel-related products.
