Earn Double or Triple American Airlines Miles in premium cabins

Funny, within minutes of one another, both my Dad and my Girlfriend both sent me targeted bonus offers for their American Airlines Aadvantage accounts.  It looks like quite a few people are getting targeted…Miles and I have yet to get targeted but we’re eagerly waiting. It also may change how we credit some flights we have lined up in the next couple months. EITHER WAY the ability to earn double or triple American Airlines miles in premium cabins is pretty fantastic.

Earn Double or Triple Miles American Airlines Miles in premium cabins.

These are Aadvantage miles, not EQM. Not sure the difference? Read our Memo

This is a different approach than what AA has done in the past

This is last year’s summer promo which offered bonuses for Premium Cabins as well as Economy, etc.

Travel by August 31. PR1DM for 2x Miles. PR1TM for 3x Miles.

Miles…only rich people pay for Business Class or First Class…I’ll never qualify for these bonuses

That’s not true at all. Check out our article that shows you how to utilize positioning routes to get outstanding fares. I flew on AA’s business class last year for only $150 more each way than what coach would have cost. That roundtrip qualified me for Executive Platinum status – I’ve been bumped to first class on almost every flight this year, domestically.

Were you targeted? Happy flying!

Main Cast: 

Cards that earn flexible points and should be used on the bulk of your purchases.

Supporting Cast:

Cards that earn fixed points in the currency of the airline/hotel and can not be transferred at attractive rates. These cards yield benefits that make it worth keeping, but not necessarily worth putting a lot of your everyday spend on. 

The Chase Sapphire Preferred® is exceptional starter card and offers transferrable Ultimate Rewards, and pairs well with other Chase cards.

If you carry this card alongside Chase’s cashback cards like the Chase Freedom Flex℠and Chase Freedom Unlimited® or the business versions: Ink Business Cash® , Ink Business Unlimited® you can combine the points into Preferred account and transfer into hotel and airline partners

Annual fee is quite low at $95 a year + you get a 10% anniversary bonus on points + $50 hotel credit in Chase travel.

    The AA First and Bus. Promotions only apply if they select you! If you try to use the code you are advised it does not apply to you. I have first reservations next week but could not secure the promotion today. It’s the old rule that once they have you they need give you little.
