Yes, if you use SPG and transfer points (soon), or you use an AAdvantage miles earning card, you will earn ~1,000 more miles. You are purchasing the limit of miles allowed in one year, iirc, 40k, and earning a 10k bonus. If you need the RDM for MM or other purposes to fulfill a goal, go for it; if you do not, it's merely the appearance of a vanishing and attractive offer. (And if you need miles consider the 3x-4x miles multiplier when you next fly, though it is mot quite as good a deal.)
