AA promo - bonus miles for new AA members

I received an email today. This appears to be a targeted offer. AA is offered bonus frequent flyer miles for referral of new members to the AA frequent flyer program. The refer-er and the refer-ee both get 1000 bonus miles if the refer-ee is a new sign up to the AA frequent flyer program AND completes an "eligible activity" by August 31. "Eligible activity" is defined as a flight, signing up for a Citi AA credit card, or any activity that earns 750 AA frequent flyer miles with an AAdvantage program participant.

If anyone would like a new referral to the AA program, I'd be glad to refer you. Please just send me a PM - I will need your first name, last name, and email address in order to enter the referral. You will then receive an email invitation from AA to join their program.

To send a PM, click my screen name (at left), then select "Send a private message to..."

Here is the text of the email I received:
As one of our most valued American Airlines AAdvantage® members, we are sending you this exclusive offer to earn up to 10,000 AAdvantage bonus miles.

Simply refer your friends, family and colleagues to join the AAdvantage program through the link below. You will earn 1,000 AAdvantage bonus miles for every person who joins and participates* in the program before August 31, 2010 — up to 10,000 AAdvantage bonus miles!

Plus, each of your friends who participates will earn 1,000 AAdvantage bonus miles too.


*Promotional Terms and Conditions
Offer is valid for recipients of this email only. Only AAdvantage® members who receive this email will be eligible to earn AAdvantage® bonus miles. To qualify, you must have referred friends between May 25, 2010 and August 31, 2010, and referred friends must have enrolled in the AAdvantage program as new members and completed an eligible activity (travel on American Airlines, American Eagle or the AmericanConnection® carrier, get approved for a select Citi® / AAdvantage® credit card (Subject to credit approval), or transact and earn at least 750 miles with any AAdvantage program participants) between May 25, 2010 and August 31, 2010. Referred friends must reside in the United States. There is no limit to the number of friends you can refer during this promotion; however, the maximum number of bonus miles that can be earned through this promotion is 10,000 bonus miles. Please allow 6–8 weeks after the promotion ends for bonus miles to be posted to your AAdvantage account. Anyone who is referred by multiple AAdvantage members will be associated with the first AAdvantage member the referred individual responds to. Bonus miles do not count towards elite status qualification.

I can do referral too. Please feel free to PM me with your name and email address. Then I will send you the referral.
After you register, go to https://www.aadvantageeshopping.com/...rdownload.aspx to download and install the toolbar and you will get 500 miles for free. You'll be only 250 miles away from the 1000 bonus miles.

um... maybe not free, but get him/her something at Pet Food Direct, PETsMART, Petco, etc. through Aadvantage eShopping? Well... you may need to first apply a credit card for him to buy them though, if you haven't done so already.

do a couple opinion place surveys (usually 75 miles per survey) https://www.opinionplace.com/start.adp

and sign up for points.com for 150 miles https://www.points.com/join/c?c=0504-61-009

also I think you can get 2500 for netflix and there might still be offers for insurance quotes.

One nice thing about this is the new member doesn't have to fly. Other airlines offers usually require this, IIRC.

I thought you only get the 500 miles for the toolbar if you buy at least one item?
"You must download the toolbar on this page, and perform at least 1 toolbar search and or make 1 toolbar purchase with a participating toolbar retailer before June 30, 2010 to earn the 500 mile bonus. Bonus miles will post to your AAdvantage account within 8 to 10 weeks after the promotion end date. You will only earn the 500 mile toolbar download bonus the first time you download the toolbar."

oops, I see its and / OR, not just and. So I guess you would get the points, you just need to do at least one toolbar search!

For new accounts you can get 500 miles for signing up for AAdvantage eShopping and 500 for downloading the toolbar for a total of 1000.

See: https://www.aadvantageeshopping.com/...0&WT.mc_ID=190

Also, there is a 1000 point bonus for AA dining sign-up after $25 spent.



If, by chance, somebody would like a referral PM me.

Thank you, DrG

Would also point out that promo code "HIS10" also gives 1000 points. I went partially through signup today and it seemed to be accepted. On the other hand, I figure if you can help a fellow FTer without hurting yourself, might as well give the 1000 points to them.

Might need to signup on the spanish site, but that was not the case in May when I got family member signed up.
