LAN periodically has business class sales from Miami to a few places in South America like Lima or Buenos Aires. And LAN is an AA partner (via oneworld), so if you buy those discount business class sale fares from LAN you should be able to earn AA miles, if you wish, on those flights.

See this thread in the LAN forum for some info:
A reason email that I got from LAN said fly from Miami to Bogota for just $699 round-trip per person. Obviously, somewhat more for Lima or Buenos Aires (how much more I can't pull up any more since that particular sale ended about a week ago), but still low prices compared to normal business class seat prices to South America.
