Bonus‑mile promotions for European residents

The promotion is limited to residents of many European countries, including Germany, France, Italy, Spain and the UK Frequent Flyer Bonuses .

Use credit‑card spend that counts as airline purchases

Combine purchases with bonus offers

Frequent Flyer Bonuses September 24 Bonus Offer Highlight: American AAdvantage – Up to 125,000 Bonus Miles between North America and Europe
Earlier we brought you the details of the new Transatlantic offer from British Airways for those who live in the U.S. and Canada and as is always the case, American Airlines offers the same bonus and that one is our bonus offer highlight for today. From the other bonuses added you should also check out the aforementioned British Airways Transatlantic bonus and the extension of Club Carlson’s Alamo and National car rental bonuses.

View from the Wing Big American Airlines Transatlantic Bonus is Back
American AAdvantage is offering up to 20,000 bonus miles each way across the Pond for up to 4 one-way segments booked and flown between yesterday and March 31. Registration prior to travel with promo code NAS17 is required. You can earn this bonus on American Airlines transatlantic flights (with American Airlines flight numbers) or American codeshares on British Airways, Iberia or Finnair between the U.S. and Europe. The nice thing about this bonus offer is that most economy fares are eligible to earn something, so it’s certainly worth registering (even if you don’t know you’ll take a trip to Europe, because if you wind up with one you won’t remember to go back and register later). What’s not a nice thing about this bonus offer is that it excludes tickets that were purchased before January 19. So loyal customers who buy American tickets anyway get nothing. It’s a way to save marketing dollars at the expense of the airline’s best customers.
View from the Wing Now That Your Miles Are Worth Less, American Will Sell You Plenty More for 1.8 Cents Apiece
In mid-November American offered a purchase miles bonus through November 30 that they extended through January 4 which allowed you to buy miles at 2 cents apiece. Then they dropped the price even further to 1.8 cents. The promo pricing went back to 2 cents for February. Now they’ve returned to 1.8 cents. American AAdvantage has certainly brought over the US Airways approach to selling miles into the merged airline. US Airways ran a sale pretty much every month, and their price point towards the end was a consistent 1.88 cents per mile. Of course 1.8 cents

View from the Wing American Runs Fake Mileage Sales, 2 Cents Apiece is the New Regular Price
A month ago American was offering to sell miles at the lowest price I’ve ever seen from the AAdvantage program. At 1.72 cents apiece it was even less than US Airways Dividend Miles had been selling for during their promotions for the past couple of years of that program. Clearly with US Airways management in charge of the merged airline, their view of monetizing miles has taken hold — and there are mileage sales at least as often as there aren’t sales now. (And non-sale periods must only be to retain the illusion that there’s a higher price and
