How to Enroll

  • If you’re not a Business Extra Member, register via this link and Make sure to select “Travel Manager” under Relationship to Account. Once you’re enrolled, proceed to the next step (you must complete both steps to enroll in the challenge.)
  • Once you’re enrolled in Business Extra, register for the promotion on Founderscard‘s AA benefit page
  • IMPORTANT: Registering for Business Extra does not enroll you in the AAdvantage Gold or Platinum status challenge. After you create a Business Extra account, you must go back to this site, click “Already a Business Extra Member”, and fill out the form. Missing this final step will prevent you from being entered into the challenge.

Thoughts

As in prior years it’s nice to see Founderscard Offers AA Status Challenge. I am pretty happy with Founderscard so far though I can’t make use of this perk because I already hold Executive Platinum status. If you can take advantage, this is a great benefit! Platinum status has some good benefits, including low-cost or free upgrades to First or Business class. Status is recognized by all OneWorld Alliance member airlines. Historically, AA charged upwards of $200 to enroll in a challenge. The best part of this offer is that you’ll hold elite status until January 31, 2021. It is however a bit of a bummer that members with AAdvantage Platinum status or higher can’t use this offer to requalify.
