American Airlines has launched a new buy & gift AAdvantage campaign with up to100,000 bonus miles purchases made between November 6 – 27, 2017.
American Airlines upped a while back the number of miles that you can buy before any bonuses to 150,000 every calendar year. Remember that the account that buys or receives miles must be a minimum of 30 days old.
You can access this offer on AA’s website here.
Here’s the bonus schedule:
Here’s the price:
The price of a mile purchased under this offer at the 150,000 level with 100,000 bonus miles is 1.91 cents each. The lowest price American Airlines sold miles earlier in the year was 1.72 cents each.
Conclusion
Unless you need some AAdvantage miles right now, I would wait until better offer surfaces. The price is higher compared to other recent offers when the price was as low as 1.72 cents each.
Here are the terms and conditions of this 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 November 6, 2017 to 11:59:59pm CT November 27, 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 Platinum Pro, AAdvantage Executive Platinum or AAdvantage Million MilerSM 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.
