AS has sales quite regularly. I wouldn't be buying now for a spring 2021 award. The earliest you could book would be in about a year from now and a lot can happen in that time. You are better off finding inventory for the awards you want and then purchasing miles to supplement what you have than speculatively purchasing now.
The only caveat is that if you are not an AS Elite you are limited to purchasing 150K (before bonus) miles in a given year. If you need more, purchase some in December and some next spring when you are booking.
