A: Using the buyAAmiles and giftAAmiles programs, you can purchase a maximum of 40,000 AAdvantage miles for yourself. You may also purchase a maximum of 40,000 miles per person as a gift for others. Using the buyAAmiles and giftAAmiles programs, you may receive a combined maximum of 40,000 AAdvantage miles per calendar year.
Thanks -- 80K would have been useful, but we will survive. I'm going to need to get a little lucky with snagging some Mile-Saver F awards from LHR to LAX in mid-October. Well, that's what Expert Flyer was made for -- gotta set those alerts! Thanks for the clarification.
