AAdvantage is offering Repeat Rewards offers which escalate in bonus miles for each roundtrip on CX.

eg
1st round trip - 25K bonus miles
2nd round trip - 30K
3rd round trip - 40K
4th round trip - 45K
5th round trip - 55K
6th round trip - 75K
7th r/trip on - 110K


That does not include the already 100% bonus base miles if you're a Plat or Exec Plat AAdvantage member.

So for AA's offer... 6392+1598+6392(100% bonus elite miles). Round trip = 28,764.
Then the 1st round trip repeat Rewards offer kicks in 25K bonus. = 53,764

So comparing, say you've got 7 return flights amassed on CX between YVR and HKG.
On Asiamiles, you'd get:
28,764 x 7 = 201,348 miles

On AA, you'd already get :
28,764 x 7 = 201,348 miles
RR bonus: 380,000 miles
Total : 581,348 miles !

The only consolation is that on Asiamiles, the offer extends to economy class travel but not on AAdvantage.

So, which programme do you think you'd rather use?

Edited. Due to miscalculation.

Thanks Guy Betsy for the info about the AA Plat challenge. I'll pass that one on for sure.

What was meaning about the bus. class AA promo is that bonus miles max out at 110K for Canadian residents, not the 380K you'd calculated. You get a tiered bonus, like AC AP like to offer, not a cumulative one. For example, after first rt you get 25K bonus, and another 5K bonus after second,10K more after third,etc. So 25+5+10+5+10+20+35 equals 110K total bonus.
