The American Airlines AAdvantage shopping mall is having an awesome promotion right now until September 30, 2013 for both new and existing users. If you haven’t shopped through the AAdvantage shopping mall before, now is the time!
The way their shopping mall works is you first sign up for a free account with your AAdvantage number, name, zip code and email address. Then once you are logged in, you just start your online shopping session by clicking on their link to go to a merchant. I.e. if you want to shop at Walgreens, just search for Walgreens then click on the “Shop Now” link that will take you to the same Walgreens site as if you typed Walgreens.com in but this time you will get AAdvantage miles for every purchase!
There are literally hundreds of merchants to choose from so it shouldn’t be hard to find SOMETHING you can spend $35 on. I buy and sell a lot of things at Sears so I will probably buy a $50 physical gift card where I get 4 Miles/$ spent and use it at some point in the future. This will work with both credit cards and debit cards and even prepaid cards such as the Bluebird. Make sure you read the terms and conditions for each merchant because sometimes certain items such as gift cards won’t earn miles.
For new users who haven’t used the AAdvantage Mall before the offer is 2,000 miles for a $35 purchase.
For existing users like me, the offer is 1,000 miles for a $35 purchase.
I will be taking advantage of this and you should too! Feel free to comment if you have any questions on how this works.
