Let me go ahead and put this gift suggestion out in the air, but aren’t frequent flyer miles the
perfect gift for any traveler? From the looks of the
buy AAmiles and
gift AAmiles programs you or the person you’re buying for
may already have to be a member of American Airline’s Advantage Program to obtain miles, but it isn’t hard to
join. Purchases start as low as $27.50 for 1,000 miles and go as far as 40,000 miles for $1,000. Not too
shabby. Buying miles or giving them as a gift is the perfect way of saying, “hey, you need a vacation!” Then you let
them pick and choose which destination is best fit for them.
There are several other reward programs out there that will let you buy miles as a holiday present or for anytime of
the year. All the major carriers have them. I chose American because they happen to be my favorite airline of choice.
