What APY does American Airlines FCU Share Savings Account offer?

American Airlines savings account offers an APY of 1.01% (APY stands for annual percentage yield, rates may change). This is higher than the typical APY for online-only savings accounts, which is around 1% APY.

Note that the APY of a savings account is the amount of interest you will earn if you keep your money in the account for a full year expressed as a percentage. The difference between an APY and an interest rate is that the APY takes into account how often your money earns interest (or compounds). The more often your money compounds, the more it will earn.
