Hat tip to all the Boarding Area bloggers who posted about the current American Airline AAdvantage offer. You need to spend $200 to unlock the 1000 miles bonus.
I won’t list out all the details, but you can gift card churn and buy the miles outright from this offer at 1.8 cents per mile. If you participate in the US Airways 1.8 cents a mile deal, this is very similar. The 1.8 cents per mile offer is not including any benefits you will receive from the spend on your credit card which could lower it down to as far as 1.5 cents per mile.
It is a bit expensive, but if you are close and need to top off some miles this wouldn’t be a bad deal. Keep in mind, the extra 1000 miles will take some time to deposit into your AAdvantage account.
