American Airlines launches a ‘buy miles’ bonus
Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission. See here for all partner links.
AA has emailed me with details of a Summer discount for buying AAdvantage miles.
The discount goes from 10% if you buy 5,000 up to 25% if you buy 40,000. The link is here.
Frankly, it is not the most exciting offer they have ever run, but if you needed to get a few AA miles to reach a certain award redemption then this is better than nothing.
If you look at it another way, getting a 25% discount on the price is the same as getting a 33% bonus!

How to earn American Airlines miles from UK credit cards (April 2025)
American Airlines no longer has its own UK credit card.
There is, however, still a way to earn American Airlines miles from a UK credit card.
The route is via Marriott Bonvoy. Marriott Bonvoy hotel loyalty points convert to American Airlines miles at the rate of 3:1.
The best way to earn Marriott Bonvoy points is via the official Marriott Bonvoy American Express card. It comes with 20,000 points for signing up and 2 points for every £1 you spend. At 2 Bonvoy points per £1, you are earning (at 3:1) 0.66 American Airlines miles per £1 spent on the card.
You can apply here.
