Points can be redeemed for over 60 travel awards, beginning as low as 100 points, and are valid for two years after the year they're earned. Companies have the freedom to use the points in many ways:

- Recognize a valued employee or business associate
- Energize employees while they travel with AAdvantage® status or Admirals Club® access
- Do your part to offset the carbon emissions of your business travel with Cool Effect
- Turn points into AAdvantage® miles that can be transferred to your travelers
Business Extra and the AAdvantage® program
