The Fort Worth, Texas-based carrier just rolled out an all-new online activity page for its loyalty program, a carrier spokesperson told TPG.
To find your latest activity, log in to your American Airlines AAdvantage account and click the activity button on the left-hand side of your account page. Then, you'll see the new activity view.

The new view allows you to search for individual transactions, filter by different activity types (including flights and cobranded credit card spending) and sort by dates (such as the current or previous qualifying year).
This new functionality should give frequent flyers a much deeper look into their accounts; power users will likely enjoy being able to slice and dice their data in new ways.
The old activity page rolled out as part of the introduction of Loyalty Points back in 2022 and left a lot to be desired. The tile-based user experience made it hard for frequent flyers to filter through their activities and see details about their earning and redeeming updates.
The airline also used to use small, nearly indistinguishable icons to display different types of activities, ranging from planes for completed flights to discount tags for mileage redemptions and cards for cobranded credit card spending.
With the new experience, you can filter without needing to squint to see the different small logos representing activity types.
Note that upcoming trips are still listed in the old tile view, but hopefully, that'll change in the coming months as American invests more in the AAdvantage user experience.
One feature that's still missing is the ability to download account activity. Power users sometimes enjoy this functionality because it allows them to create custom spreadsheets and filters for their activity. (Other major airlines offer this.)
All in all, American's upgrades are part of the airline's recent announcement of changes that are coming to the loyalty program in 2025. Other updates include extended systemwide upgrade expiration dates and the introduction of new Million Miler lifetime status tiers.
