American Airlines has backtracked on a controversial decision which would have made it more difficult for customers to collect miles and loyalty points. Earlier this year, the airline said it would start limiting which tickets purchased through a third parties - such as travel agents or online booking sites - were eligible to earn AAdvantage miles and loyalty points. It would have been the first carrier to make the move, pushing customers to buy tickets directly from its website. But in good news for travelers, the company has dropped the idea, which was due to come into force on July 11.
