Hey all,
So i noticed that the Jal priority boarding includes their “one world alliance members” so I am wondering if anyone knows which American Credit cards give you this early boarding and if you had the card how would you use it ?
From what I noticed American Airline seems to be the only one so far ?
Thank you in advance

I haven’t got a scooby.
I’m wondering though, what happens when *all* of the passengers are rebel alliance members?

Seems like American and Alaska. Priority boarding starts at the Sapphire level.
To get priority boarding you need to be a One World Sapphire member. To become a Sapphire member you need to collect a certain number of Loyalty points with any of the One World alliance members. To do this you need to fly ALOT on eligible flight and/or spend LOTS using AAdvantage credit card (in the case of American Airlines). It’s not just about having the card, although a higher tiered one will allow you to collect more points per money spent.
In case you get there, you don’t need to do anything yourself. As long your loyalty program membership is in the system when they print out your ticket it will have a higher boarding priority number on it (like 2 instead of the usual 4 or 5)
You need to get on the frequent flyer programme of any of the oneworld members. [https://www.oneworld.com/travel-benefits](https://www.oneworld.com/travel-benefits)
You do not NEED a credit card to accumulate points, for example you can absolutely get any of the airline card and accumulate points just by flying.
But of course, if you want to get more points, then you would want a credit card, either a JAL one [https://www.jal.co.jp/jp/en/jmb/index09.html](https://www.jal.co.jp/jp/en/jmb/index09.html) or a AA if you are American [https://www.aa.com/i18n/aadvantage-program/miles/partners/credit-card/aadvantage-credit-cards.jsp](https://www.aa.com/i18n/aadvantage-program/miles/partners/credit-card/aadvantage-credit-cards.jsp)

As other people mentioned, on AA you would need to get the Sapphire level on your card, so 75 000 points, you get 10 000 to 65 000 points by getting one of their credit card.
