American Airlines doesn’t offer a teacher discount that we could confirm, and ID.me says it isn’t aware of one either. You can still knock a little off your next flight: pay with a Fluz virtual card and you get 2.5% back on what you spend at American Airlines. On a summer trip or a flight home for the holidays, that adds up without any extra hoops.
American Airlines is a U.S. airline. Together with its American Eagle regional partners, it flies thousands of flights a day to more than 350 destinations, with hubs in Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix and Washington, D.C. It’s also a founding member of oneworld, an alliance of partner airlines.
How To Get The American Airlines Cash Back
- Sign up for Fluz. Before you make your first virtual card, you verify your identity and link a bank account.
- Create a Fluz virtual card for American Airlines. It’s a digital card with its own card number, expiration date, CVV and billing address.
- Book your flight and pay with that card number. You get 2.5% back.
There are no fees, credit checks or minimum spend. You can set a limit on the card when you make it, and you’re only charged for what you actually spend. Fluz rates can change, so check the American Airlines rate in the app before you book.
Earn Miles With AAdvantage
If you fly American more than once a year, join AAdvantage, American’s free frequent flyer program. It was the first airline loyalty program in the world. The miles you earn can be used across the whole oneworld network, not just on American, so a flight you take for a conference can help pay for a summer trip on a partner airline.
Using The Fluz Card Elsewhere
The same Fluz account works well past airfare. A Fluz virtual card works anywhere Mastercard or Visa is accepted, online or in a store through Apple Pay or Google Pay. Most purchases earn up to 1.5% back, and some merchants pay more, like the 2.5% at American Airlines. If you’re booking a hotel or a rental car for the same trip, check the app for those rates too before you pay.
