You can access this offer on AA’s website here.
Here’s the bonus table:

The price of a mile under this offer at the highest bonus is 2.15 cents each.
The lowest price American sold miles in 2020 was 1.72 cents, and their most recent Cyber Sale 1.77 cents each.
Conclusion
This is a high price to purchase American Airlines AAdvantage miles, considering all the airline’s sales throughout the year. Unless you need AA miles NOW, I would wait for a better sale to resurface.
Here are the terms and conditions of this offer:
AAdvantage members must purchase at least 5,000 AAdvantage miles or more in a single transaction from the Buy or Gift Miles program from 12:00:00am CT November 30th, 2021 to 11:59:59pm CT December 31, 2021, to be eligible for bonus miles.
