The cards we feature here come from partners who compensate us when you are approved through our site, and this may affect how or where these products appear.

Attention American Airlines members: Now is a good time to check in American Airlines AAdvantage account as you may be eligible for a bonus miles (or Loyalty Points) promotion when you book a flight in a premium cabin before the end of the year.

I have seen offers that can give you up to 20,000 bonus AAdvantage miles. Most people are not given loyalty points; however, I have read some reports that members have the choice of either earning loyalty points or bonus miles. While earning bonus miles won’t help you earn elite status with American, the extra loyalty points could come in handy if you’re looking to elite status with the carrier.

Be sure to check carefully, especially if you need more loyalty points to reach your status goals.

To see if you’ve been targeted, sign in to your AAdvantage account, go to your account summary and click on “Promotions.”
