They’ve done it again! Earlier this year, American Airlines launched a pomotion to double elite miles on all AA operated flights. These special miles are the gateway to elite status, where tiers of rewards such as upgrades, bonuses and free drinks await savvy travelers.
In the several months that followed the initial promotion, travelers booked all sorts of tickets to maximize miles and earn status, from “Mileage Runs” from Boston to Los Angeles to weekend trips to Rio De Janiero. Everyone reveled in the victory, as double elite qualifying miles promotions only come around once in a blue moon and almost certainly never more than once in a year…that is, until today.
Just this morning, AA just announced that they’re running the same promotion again through year’s end, so for those of us that didn’t quite get enough miles to make Platinum or Executive Platinum, there’s still time.
You can sign up for the promo at their website using code ELTRW.
Keep an ear tuned to your favorite airline for similar promotions — earlier this year all of the other legacy carriers followed suit after AA launched their promotion.
