Read Offline

Through May 31, American is also offering a 20% bonus on purchases of 5,000 or more miles—but only to AAdvantage members who have never used the buyAAmiles or giftAAmiles program as of April 14. Bonus miles will be posted 6 to 8 weeks after conclusion of the promotion, so don’t count on using them right away. Purchased miles post within 72 hours. Purchase limit: 40,000 miles annually.

As with Northwest, should your mileage needs exceed the annual limit (40,000, here), someone else can buy the miles and redeem them for your travel.
