American Airline miles are a great way to help cover the cost of your dream vacation!
One comment I hear frequently is “I’d love to travel more, but it’s so expensive.” Trust me, I get it! My husband and I wouldn’t have been able to spend a month in Greece last year if it weren’t for our United miles and Marriott points helping to pay the way. If you’d like to see a free flight in the future, try these four easy ways to earn American Airlines miles.
You’ll need to be enrolled in American Airline frequent flyer program to get started. If you haven’t already done so, enroll here https://www.aa.com/loyalty/enrollment/enroll.
1) Simply start shopping!
If you’re like me, you probably order a lot of things online. A really easy way to earn American miles is by doing your shopping using American Airline’s shopping portal at https://www.aadvantageeshopping.com/. Just login using your frequent flyer number and password. Go to “find a store or product,” and then enter the name of the store you’re planning to shop. In the example below, I’ve entered Home Depot. I found that they are offering 4 American Airline miles for every dollar spent. Just select “shop now” and that’s all there is to it.
It can take a few weeks for the miles to post to your American Airlines account. If you make it a point to always try and shop through this portal, you’ll be racking up points before you know it. I’ve earned more than 13,000 AA miles already this year!
2) Set up a savings account at Bask Bank and earn 2.5 American Airline miles per dollar saved.
It adds up fast and it’s an effortless way to earn miles!
3) Consider signing up for Barclay’s American Airline Advantage Mastercard
Signing up rewards you with 50,000 bonus miles after your first purchase! Many credit cards require you to spend thousands of dollars before you can earn the bonus miles, but with Barclay’s, you’ll earn them after your first purchase within 90 days.
4) Complete surveys!
Just sign up at https://www.milesforopinions.com/signup and earn miles completing surveys. You’ll earn 250 AA miles just for signing up, then whenever you have some free time on your hands, login and see if you have been offered any surveys. Each survey indicates how long it will take, as well as how many American Airline points you’ll earn.
