American Airlines has announced that their AAdvantage Business™ program is rolling out a new tier on July 21, 2025, which allows small and mid-sized businesses to unlock even more value for their travel needs.

On Wednesday (July 10, 2025), American Airlines announced that their AAdvantage Business™ program is rolling out a new tier on July 21, 2025. The AAdvantage Business™ program rewards both eligible companies and their travelers with AAdvantage® miles and additional Loyalty Points for booking business travel on the airline's website, through American’s mobile app or with any agency, offering a faster pathway to a more rewarding experience for companies and travelers alike. Additionally, the program gives companies access to a convenient suite of tools to handle reporting, traveler management, duty of care and more.
In Wednesday’s announcement, American Airlines’ SVP – Sales, Lucas Martin, said,
“The AAdvantage Business™ program was designed to meet small and medium-sized businesses where they are and provide them with a way to make business travel more seamless and valuable. Adding the AAdvantage Business Select™ tier allows us to further enhance the benefits that our most valuable members earn.”
The new AAdvantage Business Select™ tier provides additional benefits to companies with a spend of $250,000 or more within a calendar year. This new tier unlocks added benefits, including, exclusive savings up to 4% on eligible fares, preferred Group 5 boarding for travelers, and immediate access to using company earned miles for free travel and employee transfer.
The AAdvantage Business™ program is free and easy to join. Businesses earn miles on all eligible employee travel. Plus, employees who choose to register can also earn additional Loyalty Points. Businesses with at least five active registered travelers and $5,000 in spend from registered travelers can use their miles for free travel or transfer miles directly to their employees. Spend and redemption requirements are waived for Citi® / AAdvantage® Business™ World Elite Mastercard® cardmembers. All AAdvantage Business™ members will continue to earn 1 AAdvantage® mile for every $1 spend on eligible travel, and their registered travelers can also earn additional Loyalty Points, helping accelerate their path to status.
