Booking K-Ups on AA - Won't Accept Australian Credit Card

[wandersen]

I'm just trying to book some K-Ups on AA.com. I get all the way through the process, but then it doesn't give Australia as a country in the drop-down list when I enter my Amex number. Any ideas ?

Use the AA Aussie site:
American Airlines | Airline Tickets and Airline Reservations

Thanks, but the Australian site doesn't have any instant upgrade fares nor the same selection of routings at the US site.

Yup. Interesting that. Just need a US issued credit card.

They ask for a US billing address, but they don't ask for your billing address.

Note the was split from the one posted by gowatson as the context has changed significantly since 2007.

Thanks for that. As a dual national Oz/US, I have US issued CCs so for me this was never an issue. But your workaround is very interesting and I will pass it around to my non AFF but still FFer friends.

Thanks all.

Some time I'll tell the sorry tale starting around 14 years ago, of getting a BoA CC for just this purpose, only to find that it's not a US issued CC you need but a US address.
