Looking at the 20k AA mileage offer for signing up for a new account offer that's going through end of month. Anyone else do this offer? What was your experience? Thanks!
I think it's a no-brainer to get the signup bonus if you don't have the AA mileage account. Besides the potential tax benefit (an AA mile earned is taxed as if it is worth 0.42c), the AA earning rate (currently 2.5 miles/$/yr) is unlikely to be reduced as frequently as interest rate on its regular savings account, which is likely to trend downward in the next few months.
