JD, I also just did an AA ticket purchase with the site giving me an option to hold my ticket for 24 hours on a credit purchase. Now, I don't know if it's because I was logged into their website or if it's because I have their credit card, but they are still allowing the hold feature for some. I included a screenshot below showing the hold option.
