![]() ![]() ![]() It offers me the greatest flexibility for my schedule. What do the folks who buy Airpass on this forum think of it? I've been in contact with them but they've not pursued me very hard. Concierge Key is available for $50k individual spend or $75k team spend. I spoke to them and they take credit via wire transfer at $10k (Gold), $20k (Platinum), $30k (EP). It is not the responsibility of any advertiser to ensure that questions are answered.I haven't seen much discussion lately on American's pre-pay flight service, where you pay at 40 cents on the mile, depending on flight class. They have not reviewed, approved or endorsed what I have to say.Ĭomments made in response to posts are not provided or commissioned nor have they been reviewed, approved, or otherwise endorsed by any bank. Instead, I write primarily about cards which earn airline miles, hotel points, and some cash back (or have points that can be converted into the same).Įditorial Note: The opinions, analyses, and evaluations here are mine and not provided by any bank including (but not limited to) American Express, Chase, Citibank, US Bank, Barclays or any other company.

I will say, as a multi-year CK, that the service ain’t what it used to be - and it USED to be great. I buy First and Business tickets so upgrades are worthless. And I may be schlepped around the airport if I feel like it. no surprise.įor me Key really has one benefit - I can get on first. with radically reduced business travel AA is, IMO, disincetivized to offer the program any more. ![]() Here’s the secret: CK is for those who influence the travel decisions of others - think travel department managers. What AA calls “overachieving” Exec Plats must wonder why they never get it. How one becomes CK is extremely opaque, unless you buy it via AirPass - no longer an option. I used to pimp AirPass like mad at DFW CK mixers, but the 2022 “improvement” took away a lot of the flexibility the program offered. Which should be the motto of AA’s IT dept IMHO. As Albany said in King Lear: “Striving to better, oft we mar what’s well”. got their hands on it and ruined it by “improving” it. AirPass was a great program until AA’s IT dept. With the end of AirPass at AA another reason for CK has gone West. in view of declining business travel (see later note). That said: I wouldn’t be surprised to see AA either end, or, radically change the CK program, esp. I fully expected I had been kicked to the CK curb, but hope lives on……………….
