Today’s installment of American’s “30 Deals in 30 Days” promotion is a bonus offer for La Quinta stays. I’ve never actually stayed in a La Quinta, but if you have any stays planned, this promotion probably makes more sense than banking points to La Quinta Rewards program. Per the promo: 

“Stay 3 Times, Earn 3,000 AAdvantage® Miles at La Quinta®
Now you can earn 3,000 AAdvantage miles after you complete three stays at La Quinta Inns & Suites® + 1,500 AAdvantage miles for each additional stay thereafter between May 23 and July 31, 2011. You’ll also enjoy free breakfast, free high-speed Internet and comfy pillow-top beds.”
Interesting how the bonus increases to 1,500 points per stay once you stay three times. Considering the window is pretty short (stays until July 31, 2011), I don’t see too much utility in this promotion, but if you have any La Quinta visits coming up, this could be an easy way to bank several thousand miles.
