Flying out today. American airlines app says 'checked in', but no boarding pass, no seat. I call helpdesk they say "talk to gate agent" ...what does this mean?

But what issue..I did fly in without a problem on monday. I checked in within 5 minutes of check in availability. I will be really pissed if they out me on standby

They will assign a seat before boarding. Talk to the agent at the gate from which your flight is boarding

Thx.

Wait - you don’t have a boarding pass but the help desk person is telling you to talk to the gate agent? How are you going to get to the gate agent?

I mean, yeah, that’s definitely what they will have to do. But...what if something’s wrong or the only other flight with an opening is before the one they think they are on. I’d definitely want something better than “eh, just go to the airport, you’ll probably be fine”

Hang up and call again.

That happened to me a few months back, they bumped me up to business! Luckily the ORD to DFW route is on a 787... otherwise I probs wouldn’t have made it home.

It means you have a confirmed ticket but not (yet) a seat allocation. If not oversold you will get seat at the gate. If oversold you are the first on the “will get bumped” list if they can’t find volunteers to change flights.

Print boarding pass at the airport like the old days...

I always do that..little worried abt not having seat. Would hate not getting back home

My app and res screwed up too day of departure...couldn’t get boarding pass to pull up...printed it out at the airport and it was fine though I lost precheck...everything worked in the app just fine during the return flight the next day 🤷🏻‍♂️

After checking in on the app, take a screenshot of your boarding pass as a backup 👍

Ask for miles compensation..!!

Time to switch to another airline! 🤷‍♂️

Time to start praying another passenger doesn’t show up 🙏

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
