Loyalty Points (AAdvantage)

American Airlines' qualification currency for elite status, earned via spending, partner activity, and flights.

Full definition

Loyalty Points (LP) replaced legacy Elite Qualifying Dollars and Segments as American's elite qualification metric in 2022. Earn LP from credit card spend ($1 = 1 LP on co-brand cards, various partner rates), AA flights, Oneworld partner flights, and partner activities like Hyatt stays.

AAdvantage status tiers: Gold 40K, Platinum 75K, Platinum Pro 125K, Executive Platinum 200K. Reaching Platinum via $40K spend on the Citi AAdvantage Executive card alone is a common no-flying path.
