Use AAdvantage® Events earn miles
If you book experiences, such as concerts, sports events or comedy shows, through Ticketmaster via the AAdvantage® Events platform, you can earn 1 AAdvantage® mile per dollar spent.
Shop with AAdvantage eShopping℠
Online shoppers can also earn miles by shopping with select retailers. These include large brands such as CVS, Apple, Disney and Nike. To do so, simply go to American Airlines’ AAdvantage eShopping portal, choose the desired offer and shop as usual.
Similarly, you can watch your miles add up when you register your credit card on SimplyMiles® and shop via the platform.
Spend with a Citi®/AAdvantage® card
If you’re looking to maximize your AAdvantage® miles earnings potential, you might want to consider a Citi®/AAdvantage® credit card. Each of these 4 credit cards can help you earn miles on everyday purchases. Plus, when you shop with your Citi®/AAdvantage® credit card, there’s no limit on how many miles you can earn.
Here’s a quick overview of how you may earn miles with these credit cards:
- Earn on eligible AA purchases: Earn 2 miles (or 4 miles, if you have a Citi®/AAdvantage® Executive World Elite Mastercard®) for every $1 spent on eligible American Airlines purchases.
- Earn miles on other purchases: Every card lets you earn 1X miles on all grocery purchases (or 2X miles with the American Airlines AAdvantage® MileUp® Card). Depending on the card, you may also earn additional miles on restaurants and gas stations or purchases made at select telecommunications merchants, cable and satellite providers.
- Welcome offers: Depending on when you apply, these credit cards may provide access to welcome offers that let you earn bonus miles. Typically, you must meet certain spending requirements within a pre-determined period after opening your account.
Whether you’re looking to earn miles on everyday purchases, travel or business expenses, there’s a Citi®/AAdvantage® credit card that can match your spending habits.
