Earn American miles and Loyalty Points with the SimplyMiles program
09.09.2023 - 22:45 / thepointsguy.com
In 2022, American Airlines revamped how you earn AAdvantage elite status. Now, the only criteria for American Airlines elite status is Loyalty Points.
Even if you don't care about elite status, you may be looking for a way to earn more AAdvantage miles for your next award flight. Luckily, U.S. residents with a Mastercard can earn American Airlines miles and Loyalty Points on many everyday purchases through the SimplyMiles program. Here's what you need to know.
The SimplyMiles program is similar to Amex Offers, Chase Offers and Citi Merchant Offers in that you enroll in offers and get rewards. But while you enroll a specific card for credit card merchant offers, SimplyMiles offers let you pay with any linked Mastercard once you enroll in an offer.
To enroll in SimplyMiles, head to the SimplyMiles website and click the "Join" link in the upper right-hand corner.
Log in to your American Airlines AAdvantage account and add at least one Mastercard to your account to get started. The SimplyMiles frequently asked questions page says you can link at most three Mastercard credit cards to your account. However, it's worth trying to add all your Mastercard credit cards if you have more than three; I was able to add all seven of mine.

Once enrolled in SimplyMiles, head to the website occasionally to check your offers. Some offers provide miles based on how much you spend, while others award a set amount of miles when you spend a specific amount with a merchant.
While looking through your offers, add any you want to use to your account by clicking "Add to card." There's no harm in adding an offer and then not using it. However, some offers can only be redeemed online or in-store, while other offers require you to click through a specific link or are only valid for specific purchases. So, be sure to read the terms of each offer before making a purchase.
I usually have various offers, ranging from gas stations to meal delivery services to shoe companies. You'll see all the offers you've already added to your account at the bottom of the list.
You'll earn AAdvantage miles when you make an eligible purchase with a card you've added to your SimplyMiles account. Unless clearly labeled as "bonus miles," the miles you earn through SimplyMiles will be Loyalty Point-eligible base miles. Then, you'll receive an email titled "Thank you for using your SimplyMiles offer" each time you make an eligible purchase.
You can also check your earnings by clicking "Miles earned" near the top of the webpage.
Miles will usually appear in your account within five to 15 business days of your purchase. Know, though, that it can sometimes take up to 30 calendar days for your earnings to post.

6 ways that American Airlines could enhance Loyalty Points
It's been a year and a half since American Airlines launched Loyalty Points, an entirely different way to qualify for AAdvantage elite status. Instead of solely crediting status based on flight activity, American flyers can also earn status through non-flight activities such as staying at hotels, spending on cobranded credit cards and using the airline's shopping portal.
