30,000 Bonus Mile American Airlines Flying Promotion

April 18, 2011

Rick Ingersoll | Google+

I’m not so sure the math works out to actually fly these five round trips for the bonus frequent flier miles. Maybe somebody here can find a cheapie AA flight. (LAX-LAS???) Something that competes with SW? I mean a real cheapie flight that we can do five times between May 15th and November 15th.

$165 Dallas to Orlando, $179 Dallas to MSP, Lax to West Palm Beach $240 racks up some miles at .05 each plus the bonus?

Here is the registration page.

If somebody can find a really cheap fare, let’s all meet and fly it a few times.

Caution: We only have until April 30th to register and buy the tickets. I’m game for some flying fun 🙂

A Riddle for More Miles

Our Guest Blogger Contest on AA Miles for Hotel Bookings [EXPIRED]

I tried something very similar with that same bank but with dividend miles years ago. Didn't work. Kudos if one can pull it off in the largest state though.

Not specifically on-topic, but just wanted to say…Hey Rick, LOVE the new blog design! Much cleaner and less cluttered. Very nice.

Ok long time reader, only my second post. AS you stated in your post I believe we are talking about the same thing. If so, I too take this card on a churn about every 6 months give or take. The wife and I have 5 of them, but I'm no pro lke you… AS i said though…I'm no pro. Usually when I cancel I move credit to the others and then wait a couple months when they'll re-issue and I take credit from the larger one to fund the new one. This hAS always been the way I've done it. Hope we're talking about the same thing. AS always, have a great day.

I am not sure I follow how to do the conversion to hotel miles.

Yes it does work. Not much of a riddle. I think even Sarah could figure this one out. Let’s see how long in now lasts.
ArizonaGuy

Look at it this way – if you can't churn this, no big deal because you still win with the companion certificate for each new account – right?

Hey Rick is there a BIZ BA 100k card I can not seem to find one. Wife and I have both done personal BA last time but a BIZ would be nice! Thanks.
FrugalTravelGuy

Rene: If we find it we will both be on that one. Nothing yet from any of my readers

Can you convert these miles directly to the miles that begin with sky or those that have an a before advantage? Or can you only use them to redeem trips on those airlines? That would be the dealbreaker for me, as Id love to directly convert them.
