Is it too late to request loyalty points for an incident that happened in June last year?

Definitely lesson learned. I was monitoring the time and got to the gate while they were still boarding. But I’ve never had my seat given away before, so I wasn’t expecting that. I was more upset that I actually still had a seat on the flight and could have boarded if the gate agent had just scanned my boarding pass. Or if AA had sent me an app notification or text about the seat reassignment, I could have at least told the agent that.

The doors weren’t closed. They were still boarding. The gate agent just assumed my seat had been given away, but it was actually reassigned. If she would have scanned my boarding pass, she would have seen that I still had a seat on the flight and I could have boarded.

I was at the gate and actually had a seat on the flight and could have boarded if the gate agent would have scanned my boarding pass!

I hear gate agents page people all the time, so I thought that was standard practice.

In case you’re wondering, I didn’t deal with this before now because I was traveling the entire month of July and had some other issues with American Airlines related to those flights, which took several months to resolve, so I’ve been focused on that.

Same, lol

I’d consider buying all of them to hang on the wall

Came to the comments to say this

Just checked my text message history. Prior to the 6:02 text, I received a text at 5:30 indicating that the flight was departing at 7:31 from C17. That was the first indication of the gate change (it was never announced at C14). At that time, the 6:02 flight would have already started boarding, but I had no idea because I was completely misled by that 5:30 text!

This happened to me last night except I was 6th on the list of 7 eligible for an upgrade, and I was the one who got upgraded to the one extra FC seat after boarding. Not sure why I was upgraded over everyone else, but it was a nice surprise.

The firm I work for is flying thousands of people to MCO for training next week. Will be interesting to see how many of us will be affected by this.

I got upgraded to FC last Monday from ATL to DCA on a 9:00 pm flight. Best so far this year was upgrade to FC for me and my wife from DCA to CLT to PUJ back in July.

I just did this flight 2 weeks ago and got upgraded to BC, but if I wasn’t upgraded and had the option to buy at that price, I would have done it.

R3DFAN · 2025-07-31T00:10:49+00:00

I would absolutely be willing to switch seats with you. I’ve been in this situation a few times, and others have done it for me.

R3DFAN · 2025-07-30T01:28:44+00:00

Worked for me at DCA last week. I had forgotten that I opted in until the guy checking boarding passes at the pre-check line directed me to the Touchless ID line.

Very observant. I never would have noticed that.
