Dreaming of a warm weather getaway? If so, you might want to give Curacao another look. Due to a new promotion offered through American Airline vacations, you’ll earn 30,000 American AAdvantage miles for booking an airfare + hotel package that includes a participating resort.
To qualify, you must book your trip by Aug. 31, 2016, and travel by June 30, 2017. So you basically need to book now, but you can travel nearly any time before next summer. Just make sure you use the promo code CUR30 when you’re ready to book. Some additional fine print:
Promo code cannot be combined with any corporate discount codes. Offer is valid for new reservations during promotional booking period. Hotel stay must match length of trip. Minimum five night stay required. All travel must be complete by June 30, 2017, in order for promotion code to apply. Blackout dates include September 5, November 24, December 25, December 31, 2016 and April 16, May 29, 2017. Minimum five night stay required. Promo code cannot be honored retroactively. Promotion code is only valid for new reservations booked online at www.aavacations.com or by calling 1-800-321-2121. Only one promotion code may be entered per booking.
