How the heck do I use this 300 dollar voucher from American Airlines?

I think you can make your reservation at aa.com then call them up and they’ll take your cc info and tell you where to send the voucher.
It might be easier to just go to the airport to do it in person.
Is it transferrable?
Nah, I was the one they screwed over I guess, so I’m the one who has to use it.
You were right zippyh, I have to mail it off to some address and then they mail back an itinerary.
There go my dreams of just punching some number into the online reservation system.
I’ve used my brother’s vouchers before. They were about to expire and I needed a ticket somewhere so he offered them up. He’s out of state so he had to fax over a note authorizing the transfer. This was at a travel agency. I can’t remember if it was United or American, though.
Normally, an MCO (Miscelaneous Charge Order) issued by an airline can be used by anyone who has it in hand. The trick with travel agents is to have the actual MCO in hand when booking.
For your average local Travel Agency, not much of a problem. With corporate travel call centres, if you’d like to use one, you need to send in the actual voucher before your ticket can be issued.
On preview, to be more specific, Folly, it depends how you obtained the voucher.
Delayed flight - [Roy Orbison] Only you [/RO]
Need a last minute ticket, you’re in Seattle, and your TA is in New York - The agency has a stock of MCOs for just such an occasion.
Note: Each airline has different rules for usage, and transferability. I’m not at work now, so have no access to the rules.
I can look them up, though if anyone is remotely interested. Just realise that an actual airline tarif is at least 3000 pages long.
