If you’re not familiar with Business Extra, it’s AA’s Business Loyalty program that offers rewards for employee travel. When an employee flies with AA, British Airways or Iberia (as well as certain codeshare flights) the member business receives 1 point for every $5 in base fare paid for the ticket and the individual traveler receives their miles as usual.

Thoughts
This isn’t groundbreaking and certainly isn’t worth going out of your way to utilize, but every little bit helps. There have been a bunch of American airline specific benefits available to Founders Card members in past years and they tend to change a few times per year. Earlier this year I was very impressed by the AA status challenge benefit covered here:
Of course some of the other airline benefits for FC members are of questionable value, but since this is just an added bonus so it’s a nice little perk. FC also offers discounts on British Airways, Singapore Airlines and Caesars Rewards (aka Total rewards) Diamond status. Head to the Promotion page on Founders Card for other details and how to enroll in the benefit.
Here’s a quick list of FoundersCard Benefits I’ve covered in the past:
