Effective through Monday, February 13, 2023 at 11:59:59 in the evening Eastern Standard Time, you can earn 500 bonus AAdvantage miles by shopping for Valentine’s Day — in addition to the standard AAdvantage miles earned — during the Winter Bonus Offer campaign at the American Airlines AAdvantage Shopping portal by spending a minimum of $200.00 shopping for qualifying purchases on your favorite products from hundreds of participating retailers.
Earn 500 Bonus AAdvantage Miles by Shopping for Valentine’s Day 2023
You can only earn the bonus of up to 500 AAdvantage miles once, as the maximum number of bonus award points that will be awarded to an eligible AAdvantage Shopping account through the Winter Bonus Offer campaign is 500 bonus award miles.
Bonus AAdvantage miles will be issued based on your cumulative qualifying purchases made during the bonus period. Returns, cancellations, shipping and handling, taxes, gift card or other cash equivalent purchases, and certain products are not included in the bonus award AAdvantage miles eligibility calculation.
Please allow up to ten weeks after the conclusion of the bonus period for the bonus award AAdvantage miles to post to your AAdvantage Shopping account. This offer cannot be combined with other offers or promotions.
Other terms and conditions may apply.
Final Boarding Call
A similar offer is available with the Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan shopping portal.
Be aware that the adding of AAdvantage miles to your account as a result of participating in this promotion can take as many as ten weeks; but if that happens after the expiration date of the miles in your account, take consolation of knowing that the date of the transaction is typically what counts and not when the transaction is approved. You may need to take the time to send reminders to the administrators of a shopping portal if your miles or points do not post; and if that is not worth your time or effort, you might want to reconsider participating in one of these promotions…
…but if you intend to spend money shopping anyway before the promotion ends, you may as well earn AAdvantage miles in the process.
Also, keep in mind that you earn one Loyalty Point for each eligible AAdvantage mile you earn, which includes all base miles you earn from flying as a passenger aboard airplanes which are operated and marketed by American Airlines, JetBlue Airways, and all airlines which are members of the oneworld alliance — which includes Basic Economy tickets on American Airlines and all status bonuses earned when flying with American Airlines and eligible partner airlines — as well as elite bonus miles and cabin bonus miles which you earn from flying.
Additionally, each and every base AAdvantage mile earned from spending with partners — such as AAdvantage Dining, SimplyMiles, eShopping, and more — earn one Loyalty Point…
…which means that not only will you earn AAdvantage miles with purchases through the AAdvantage Shopping portal — you will also earn Loyalty Points towards elite status for next year as well.
