Follow Up To American Airlines Penny Deal




This is a follow up post to answer all the questions that I’ve received either over email or in the comments:

  • I only have the Citi Platinum AAdvantage card
  • It showed up after logging into the AAdvantage portal
  • Here’s some of the breakdown to the math:
    • You need the Old American Express Blue card for 5% back
    • If you can time it right, you can do $1000 on Evolve and saves you on a little bit of the fees
    • If you don’t use Evolve, you’d still need the 5% back and find a way to pay off the original card that paid for the gift card then take the proceeds to pay the American Express card
  • Stating the obvious: the vendor awards points for gift card purchases
  • Checked today, 9/15/2014, and it appears to be over as it has returned back to the normal rate
    • That being said, keep this in mind for the next deal

  • Why not detail the deal in the forum, lvl2 MS?
    I would normally have guessed S or OD.
