Consolidated "30 Day, 30 Deals" Thread

In celebration of AAdvantage's 30 year anniversary, AA is running a promotion involving a variety of prizes/deals/offers over the next 30 days.

You can register for, view, and participate in the event on this AA.com page.

Each deal will inevitably spawn threads discussing availability, eligibility, and optimization so I thought it might be helpful to create this sticky at the top of the forum to link to each deal's thread. I hope people find this useful in terms of organizing the 30 deals to come. If not, I can always unsticky and delete this.

Future promotion descriptions are based on the calendar feature on the bottom of the promotion page.

Thanks!

ON GOING:

1. 30,000 AA miles given away every week day during the promotion. Entry permitted once per day. Please go to this page and click on the link on the right hand side of the page labeled "Sweeps|30".

Let me see if I'll have a break in any of these 30... so far nothing, since I already booked 4 RTS trips previous to April 30 but also previous to April 18th!!!

I clicked on your link to the main page and then the Sweeps link but was told I had exceeded my entries. Got the same message when I tried my husbands' AA#.

If you haven't actually registered and you're getting that message you might want to contact AA web services....

Oooh, May 5 - Starwood -- I wonder if this will be some awesome transfer bonus...

Hmm I'm wondering whether it would be worth my while to do 5 quick trips between SJC-LAX to get the 30k points. I can sometimes see the flight for $59 each way. I've never done a MR so am totally wet behind the ears when working out whether it would be worth it. Might have to put some thought into it because I would get the 30k bonus points, plus the points from the flying. Not likely to qualify for any status thru AA but guess I should check that as well as we have a flight to Montreal later this year.

Well even with taxes that should come in at 3 cpm, which is actually pretty good. You just gotta work up the courage to go and book...

Actually, that's excellent, considering the EQM involved. Wonder if my wife would watch the two-year old twins while I went off mileage running?

Just book then tell them you're going to the library but drive to the airport instead.

I on the other hand can't find a decent flight out of JFK that would allow me to do this for under $240-300 a pop, even when looking at BOS/IAD.

The travel period seems designed to exclude any netsaavers that would be available in the purchase period, too.

I figure I could just go to LAX and back whilst my husband was at work and he wouldn't even know. Would probably be better still if I could up and back 5 times in a day.

I'd go to Detroit and back 5 times in one day if I could get it for $59 each way like you see SJC-LAX.

Spoken like a true mileage runner, Toula!

I've been looking for a good fare to either ORD or DFW from IND but everything good I saw last week is gone. Boo.

I'm curious as to what the difference between a AAdvantage promo and a American Airlines promo will be

The current $59 fare is for travel that must commence by midnight on May 15. It is also valid only on Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Sat, and May 15 is a Sunday. So you won't be booking this fare for this promo. The next best fare is $94 each way.

Actually, it's 2 cents per redeemable mile. That isn't really very good at all. OP would get 33,080 miles for $691. OP could buy 33,000 miles on AA.com right now for $660 plus $30 transaction fee plus taxes, and not have to fib to a spouse or leave the house. From comments in other posts here, it seems OP would not value highly the 3080 EQM.

Based on the Avis promotion from today I'm not holding my breath anymore about any great deals. My guess is we'll see a lot of these double miles / triple miles with partners but nothing fantastic.

Looking forward to May 18 - AAdvantage Dining.

Any bonus is better than none. If they offer 10 miles per $, I would not mind spending $1000 on gift cards at my favorite pizza place.

lucky you that you have a favorite pizza place that participates in the program. I have nothing decent near the house and only mediocre stuff near work :-(

Updated the OP with the Facebook event for the May 25th promo in the "On Going" section.

OP updated with Day 6 promo.

Is anyone able to get Safari on the Mac to remember their registration info for each day? I have Firefox saving my wife's info, but I have to re-enter mine each day in Safari for some reason . . .

I have the same issue.

I found that the terms and conditions of most of the upcoming promos are accessible at

Code:

https://secure.fly.aa.com/30promo/DealTerms.aspx?dealid=XX

, where XX is the day number. At least until AA figures it out .

I've summarized the upcoming promos below the best that I could from the available T&Cs. They're all of course subject to change. Suffice it to say, though, that they're generally unsatisfying. I'm holding out hope that Day 28 (based on customer suggestions) will be spectacular .

Most of these are terrible... some of these promotions are already in place or were rolled back and now are being activated again.

The FTD promo was up last week at 30 miles per dollar, and I remember posting in the other thread. Today it's 11 miles per dollar, and even though the URL is live my guess is they'll "announce" the promo on the day of.

The Starwood promo is already live today, and has been for a while not only with AA but US Airways and other airlines as well.

The AA Dining thing is basically extending the VIP earnings to everyone, so rather than earn 3-5 miles per dollar you earn 10.

Now the real good promos are the contests... a huge chunk of miles or the RTW for two.
