It’s a season of savings for travelers. While Black Friday and Cyber Monday may be popular shopping holidays, travelers have turned their sights on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, which has been named ‘Travel Tuesday’, as a way to cash in on travel related promotions. In celebration of the upcoming Travel Tuesday holiday, American Airlines has announced some of the special offers and discounts that can help take passengers around the world for less.

Check your account: American Airlines offering bonus miles or Loyalty Points for AAdvantage members
01.11.2024 - 20:19 / thepointsguy.com
Attention, American Airlines members: Now is a good time to check your American Airlines AAdvantage account, as you may be targeted for a bonus miles (or Loyalty Points) promotion when booking a flight in a premium cabin before the end of the year.
We've seen offers that could give you up to 20,000 bonus AAdvantage miles. Most people are not being offered Loyalty Points; however, we have read some reports that members are getting a choice of earning either Loyalty Points or bonus miles.

Be sure to check carefully, especially if you need more Loyalty Points to reach your status goals.
To see if you've been targeted, log into your AAdvantage account, go to your account summary and click on "Promotions."
As you can see, my offer was for 5,000 bonus miles after flying two premium cabin flights by Dec. 19. Note that I need to book by Nov. 11.
There are lots of terms and restrictions:

As far as we can tell, most AAdvantage members were targeted for the airline's latest promotion. While it's not that exciting of an offer, we'll always take more AAdvantage miles (or Loyalty Points, for some lucky members).
