Is there a list of International airlines let you pay in US$ via AU credit card?

[PLANT]

Hi all,

I booked a number of flights today for America and to my horror discovered that AA and AU will not accept an Australian Credit card via the .com website that gave prices in US $.

To begin the list of which charge US $ via Australian credit card:

Frontier
Hawaiian Airlines
Delta


Bloody AA and AU have to pay in AU $ and this resulted in them converting the price with at least a 5-10% hit!

I think its a short list.

My understanding was US AA site worked when using the El Sugundo method

El Sugundo method?
Just write in an American address ie. shipito?????

Edit: I wish someone had pointed this out earlier today for my other thread: http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/american-airlines-aadvantage/best-way-book-aa-ex-29112-18.html

Seems UA will not allow Mileageplus points due to Australia entered as country or payment if you want the points?

The AA site still does take AU cards. Worst case, you put it on hold and call them.

Methinks people should search more though rather than post a dozen topics

I paid for an AA Award flight booked on-line and paid on-line with my Aussie credit card (28 Degrees MasterCard). All I had to do with prefix my Australian postcode with a leading zero for the transaction to process correctly (needs to be a 5-digit "zip" code).

Is the search function that effective? I have lots of problems due to overuse of acronyms.

In 2012 i thought I had booked a flight Miami-Cancun on AA for $100 or so, got to the friggin airport only to be told I had a reservation but hadn't paid, and that the special fare i had booked 4 or so months before had finished and it was going to be $400...

Screw that, so even though it meant losing a day i flew down the next day on J QFF redemption on an AA 737 for like US$5 and 12,000 or so QFF points...

Not inclined to book AA flights after that lousy experience... Probably with Expedia or somethign it might be ok...

I remember being in my hotel room in Vegas at stupid o'clock in the morning when I decided to book a domestic US flight on DL.

Using their iPhone app, the only option when it came to a billing address was the US. There wasn't an option for Canada or other.

I used my correct Australian PO Box number & used Beverly Hills CA 90210 for the rest of the details with no problem.

If its just a simple A-B, A-B-A routes why not just book using one of the larger OTA?
