One prediction market prices this story:

  • Above 107 — the market puts it at 12%, with $542 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 7 Nov 2026. The market resolves to Yes if the Carbon Arc American Airlines Credit Card Spend for October 2026 exceeds 107. It resolves to No if that spend is 107 or lower. Readers often mistake the deadline, confusing the spending period of October 2026 with the resolution date.
