Planning to redeem miles for your next flight? American Airlines is currently offering a limited-time sale on AAdvantage miles, giving frequent fliers the chance to purchase miles at a discounted rate.
“Discover more places to go with your miles,” the airline wrote about the promotion on its website. “American Airlines offers thousands of flights daily to more than 350 destinations in more than 60 countries.”
To take advantage of this promotion, travelers must log in with their AAdvantage account, which can be created for free. This ongoing sale offers discounts ranging from 10 to 35 percent, with purchases required in 1,000-point increments:
It’s worth noting that the best possible discount is unlocked upon purchasing 150,000 miles — the maximum amount a member can buy in a calendar year. At this rate, the promotion drops the cost of American miles from 3.7 cents to 2.4 cents apiece. There is currently no specified end date for the promotion.
Point purchase transactions are nonrefundable, and miles will be posted to balances within eight hours of purchase, according to American Airlines. These miles can be redeemed for flights on American and its Oneworld partners, but they are distinct from Loyalty Points, which are used to qualify for elite status.
American Airlines has one of the top frequent flier programs thanks to affordable mileage redemptions — whether for an economy ticket or premium, lie-flat seats. Just last week, the airline rolled out the ability to earn miles and Loyalty Points on paid upgrades, making those first-class upgrade offers even more appealing.
