Can I get a copy of an old American Airlines receipt?

Often yes. AA.com's receipts and refunds page looks up ticket receipts by ticket number or card; AAdvantage accounts keep trip history. For older purchases, American Airlines customer service may be able to look up the transaction with the card you paid with and the approximate date — the more precisely you can pin down the store, day and amount, the better the odds of a successful lookup.
