EARN 120K BONUS AADVANTAGE MILES

American Airlines offers several bonuses when purchasing AAdvantage Miles like. Right now they have their best offer of the year where you can earn 120K bonus AAdvantage miles.

As per American, this holiday season, get your end of the year bonus & add up to 120,000 bonus miles to your purchase when you buy or gift American Airlines AAdvantage® miles through January 3, 2017. That’s a total of up to 270,000 miles.

The bonus is built on a tier based system where the more miles you buy, the higher the bonus you receive. If you max out this offer you can end up with 270,000 Aadvantage miles for $4,786.88. That’s enough miles for two roundtrip flights to Asia in business class, a trip that would normally cost anywhere between $4,000 to $7,000 per person if not more.

The terms and conditions of the offer:

AAdvantage members must purchase at least 10,000 AAdvantage miles or more in a single transaction from the Buy or Gift Miles program from 7:00:00am CT December 1, 2016 to 11:59:59pm CT January 3, 2017, to be eligible to earn bonus miles. The applicable bonus miles are awarded to the recipient for Gift Miles transactions. Bonus miles earned do not count toward the annual purchase limits.

The miles purchased with the Buy Miles program and received with the Gift Miles program do not count towards AAdvantage Gold, AAdvantage Platinum, AAdvantage Executive Platinum or AAdvantage Million Miler^SM status qualification. Transactions are nonrefundable and nonreversible. The miles successfully purchased or transferred usually post to the designated account right away, but please allow up to 8 hours for processing. Each AAdvantage member is limited to purchasing or receiving in a calendar year, a combined total of no more than 150,000 AAdvantage miles. Miles purchased through the Buy Miles program or received as a gift through the Gift Miles program count against this total. A confirmation email will be sent to the primary buyer/gifter and/or recipient, using the email address(es) associated with the AAdvantage account(s) and any additional email address provided. AAdvantage accounts less than 30 days old are not permitted to Buy or Gift Miles. The price of your purchase is in U.S. dollars. Your credit card company may add a currency conversion fee.

Bottom Line:

As I always say, when it comes to purchasing miles, although this seems to be a good deal to top off your AAdvantage account, I can’t encourage buying miles unless you have a use for them within the next few months. Given how amazing this offer is, if you have any long haul trip within the next 11 months on which you can redeem AAdvantage miles, pull the trigger and buy enough miles to get you that redemption. Since this puchase will be processed directly by American Airlines, make sure you buy these miles with a credit card that offers bonus points on travel categories like the Amex Platinum, Citi Presige, Premier Rewards Gold from Amex, Citi Premier or Chase Sapphire Preferred. You can also get the airline statement credit from the Citi Prestige or the Amex Platinum on this purchase.
