The one segment upgrade is the BXP1. I love this award because you can even use it on a premium transcon. Meaning that you can use just 650 points – and now just 500 points – to upgrade to Business on a JFK-SFO/LAX premium A321T flight.
You’ll need to be in the B, N, O, Q or S fare bucket to upgrade, but with AA, the kind folks there are easily able to “upfare” you to the upgradeable bucket. In my experience they are very competent there.
This sale is also great if you had, for example, 550 points expiring Dec 31 (as they do hard expire) as now you’d be able to score this upgrade award.
With a new Citi® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® World Elite MasterCard you'll get 50,000 AAdvantage® miles when you spend $2,500 in your first 3 months. AAdvantage miles are great for booking partner awards on Oneworld airlines like British Airways and Qatar's QSuites. | How to apply for this offer.
