Hi American - you said that Basic Economy “got a little glow-up”, yet proceed to only say that you don’t earn miles from this tier anymore. What is the actual glow up part of Basic Economy, except for continuing to screw over passengers? Explain to me what I’ve got wrong here.
As Sharpay said, “out with the old, in with the new”, started Dec 17, 2025, Basic Economy got a little glow-up (and a little tougher love) and they no longer earn AAdvantage miles or Loyalty Points. No stress though, if you want the full “bang for your buck,” grabbing Main Cabin or higher is the move since it keeps you earning and comes with fewer restrictions, which honestly is the real win.
Honorable how you’re willing to use your platform to call out these airlines, but American is a whole different beast Big Cat. “American Airlines” and “doing the right thing” have never been used together to describe a situation.
Boom. Ted Lieu with facts: “Trump ordered the release of 2 billion gallons of water that almost flooded farmland…this water was saved for the farmers for summer when they need it. Trump wasted all this water that isn’t even reaching LA for a PR stunt.”
Ok @AmericanAir against my better judgement, giving you another chance. Hope you prove me wrong with a smooth flight for both me and my golf clubs. America loves a comeback story.
@BarstoolBigCat@AmericanAir Unfortunately this isn’t surprising for @AmericanAir. Absolutely zero compassion for their customers, always willing to screw them over for the almighty dollar.

@AmericanAir a simple apology and a reimbursement for the things you damaged is all I asked for. But since that’s apparently too much to ask for, I’m prepared to reply every single day until you fix this #boycottamerican
Appreciate you having me take this conversation private just to continue to screw me and refuse to refund me. Apparently your “At American Airlines, our purpose is to care for people on life’s journey” motto is total BS #boycottamerican

@Journalism_Jack Oh, no! We’re terribly sorry for the damage done to clubs. Join us in DM with your trip code and details about this experience, and we'll take a closer look at this with you.
@AmericanAir thank you for the worst customer experience of all time. After an 8 hour delay and severely damaging my golf clubs, you continue to reject my claim. I’ll now make sure to let everyone know how you treat your “valued” customers.
The Jimmiest of Jimmy plays. He feels Clark beat Williams, relocates in the pocket, and then forgets (?!) that Clark is pursuing him when he sees another Chiefs defender, subsequently slowing up (?!?!?!) and getting immediately hawked lmao
