Earn 950 AA miles for an AA eShopping purchase at Big Fish Games (i.e. download a game to your PC or Mac). There are a number of promo codes listed right on the AA eShopping BFG page for $2.99 games. "Valid for new customers of Big Fish Games only", but the only information that is required is a name and an e-mail address (which must be confirmed), so multiple accounts may work. 
Yet to be determined whether you actually need to complete the download in order to trigger the miles (presumably the credit card charge is sufficient). Make sure that you "un-check" the "Game Club" trial offer box before you place the order. @:-)

*** Never mind. I see the trial membership now. You have to cancel or it re-ups every month.

If you do this make sure you pay attention during the checkout process for the Game Club trial box being checked. That is how they will get you for recurring charges

Call me spoiled, but after last weekend's $0.00 RT expedia.ca fares, this deal doesn't seem worth the effort.

I thought they tracked the purchase through a cookie or a code in the link for online purchases, whereas dining purchases were tracked by card.
If you're right, then I just wasted $2.99 by using a virtual credit card number.

I think the "registration" is only for in-person retail purchases at select retailers...

Thanks, but I unchecked the membership box & it stayed $2.99. Scroll down and look for "catch of the week" on the left. That game is $2.99 without the membership.
