Up to 3,000 Free AA Miles for Email “AApraisal”

in American,Free Miles/ Points

I’ve gotten several emails from TPG readers about an AA promotion with up to 3,000 free miles for simply entering your email address and signing up for newsletters. I was a little busy this morning getting my Great Seatmate Contest underway, so I didn’t pay as much attention as I should have because free miles are my favorite kind of miles!

I’ve been an AA member for years and thought for sure I’d be ineligible, but in fact the “appraiser” man told me I could get 1,000 miles for clicking two buttons and then I got another 500 for learning about AA vacations. In total, I got 1,500 AA miles for under 2 minutes of work. Score.

To see how many you can get, just go here and enter your AA number. When the hokey video comes up, just click the “skip video” part. If you don’t have an American Airlines account, get one here (they were recently giving out 500 free points for using code ADV30 so try it – you never know if it might work!)

Per the T&C “Gift will be automatically deposited into the participant’s AAdvantage® account six (6) weeks after the end of each applicable three (3) month email enrollment period.

So how many miles was your email address worth?

  • Jennifer Foley

  • Carrolyn

  • akgw

    I think it is mainly based on email subscriptions. Try removing yourself from all mailings first for more points…3000 for me.

  • Eric

    Suh-weet! I just earned 2,500, thanks Brian!

  • blueskies

    Anyone know how long it takes for the miles to post?

  • RH

    Weird. It worked for me (2,500!!), but not for my wife. Once I entered her number, I was told that I (she) was not eligible for this promo. Any idea why?

  • CU

    nothing for me :(

  • Malorie

    2,500 miles here! Thanks for the post, Brian!

  • Michael Lintorn Catlin

    Nothing for me. Sad times :(

  • Afkabp

    I got the “not eligible” message as well. I have unsubscribed from everything and will try it again tomorrow. My wife qualified for the full 3000.

  • Peter

    just earned 3,000 miles! woohoo. can’t wait to unsubscribe from all those newsletters :-/ was worth it though!

  • Cindy

    Neither my partner nor I were eligible. Not sure why. :/

  • Guest

    mine didn’t work. Opened a new account with my married name and it didn’t work either promo ADV30 expired.

  • Alan

    Yes both my partner and I got 2000 miles each. Thanks for the tip Brian!

  • Gpuzzi

    Fail. When signing up for new membership, website could not validate my address. Had to call the 800 number. After being transferred twice, an agent took my call that was able to help. The 500 promo code was expired. Another code I found with a quick online search for 1000 expired.

    After I got off phone with the agent was still excited to get something, went to the appraiser and received a message “Thank you for being an AA advantage member, unfortunately you are no able to participate in this promotion.

  • brandon

    Just got 3000. Thanks!

  • Gpuzzi

    Sounds like this is the reason new member not eligible “This offer is open only to American Airlines AAdvantage® members in receipt of this offer announcement email or direct mail piece.”.

  • Gpuzzi

    On terms it says you must keep the subscriptions for 3 months. Miles will post 6 weeks after that time period.

  • Drguercio17

  • Anonymous

    Got me 2500 miles. Apparently the only thing I was signed up for was the AAdvantage “E-summary.” So now I get some AA spam, but hey, 2500 miles is 2500 miles. My wife and I are saving up for a big trip, either RTW or back to SE Asia, not sure where exactly or what class of service. Since we won’t go for a couple of years, I’m just trying to accumulate whatever AA miles I can along the way. (Have 220,000 from two AA/Citi signup bonuses.) How high we get determines where we go and what class of service.

    2500. Very nice.

  • fcastillo

    I just received 3,000 miles. Thanks for the tip!

  • LizChile

    Darn! I have a lot of AA miles but apparently since I am currently domiciled outside the US it says I am not available for this…

  • CupcakeCity

    I wasn’t eligible — not sure why. I have an old account with my maiden name and a newish account (May 2011) and neither worked. Sad.

  • Kris

    2,000 miles! All 49,800 miles in my AA account are from promos! Haven’t flown them in years :)

    2,000 miles! Thanks! TPG wins again!

  • pixel girl

    Nice! 2000 for me and 3000 for the hubby. Thanks, PG!

  • Anita

    1000 for me. :)

  • Jo

    Nothing for me. I keep getting “Thanks for being a loyal member. You are not eligible for this appraisal”. This is after deselecting all subscriptions. Thoughts?

  • Mark M

    2000 for me! Now for the wife… Thanks PG!
