Maximum AAdvantage points (miles) in 1 Year?
I am looking at purchasing some AAdvantage points before the bonus offer ends on 4/30, however looking at the fine print when purchasing the miles, it shows that you can only purchase/gift 100k miles a year.
How does this affect Credit Card award miles? Do they max out at 100k a year? I've never put 100k miles from a cc on a year, but if I purchase additional AA miles then I will be above 100k miles for the year.
So my question is, if I earn say 60k miles a year from Credit Card and purchase 80K miles from AA. Will my account show 140K miles and will I be able to use them?
Thanks

Miles purchases via buymiles.com do have limits; those do not affect credit card or other miles earnings.
Some credit cards do state limits on miles per year that can be earned; most waive limits for those credit card users with AAdvantage Gold, Platinum or Executive Platinum status. Others, such as Citi® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® MasterCard®!, state:
I recommend you review your specific credit card's terms and conditions.
