American Airlines Buy & Gift AAdvantage Miles Up To 40% Off Through May 31, 2019

American Airlines has launched an offer to purchase miles at up to 40% off through May 31, 2019.

American Airlines a while back upped the number of miles that you can buy before any bonuses to 150,000 every calendar year. The account that buys or receives the miles must have been open for minimum of 30 days.

You can access this offer on AA’s website here.

Here’s the discount schedule:

And the price:

The price of a mile purchased under this offer at the 150,000 miles level (to maximize the discount ) is 1.92 cents each.

The lowest price that American has sold its miles in 2017 and 2018 has been 1.72 cents each.

Conclusion

The price under this offer is still high and unless you need miles right now I would wait for a better offer to surface.

Here are the terms and conditions of this offer:

To be eligible for a discount AAdvantage members must purchase at least 11,000 AAdvantage miles or more in a single transaction from the Buy or Gift Miles program beginning on May 1, 2019 to 11:59:59pm CT on May 31, 2019.
