Don’t miss your chance to earn 1,000 free American AAdvantage miles. As we mentioned previously, for only one more week AAdvantage members have the opportunity to gain 1,000 American miles by taking a simple course and quiz on the AAdvantage program.

Reminder: 

You can also win two first-class round-trip tickets to anywhere American Airlines flies! The offer adds:

Reach your goal quicker with AAdvantage University, where you’ll find everything you need to know about the program to help you reach your full travel potential. And as you learn, you can earn up to a one-time maximum of 1,000 AAdvantage bonus miles. Your miles earned will be saved upon completion of registration. So remember, if you leave before registering, you will have to start over when you return.

In TPG’s June valuations, American AAdvantage miles are valued at 1.7 cents each. It can take just a few short minutes to earn $17 worth of American AAdvantage miles!

The Platinum Card® from American Express

The American Express Platinum card has some of the best perks out there: cardholders enjoy the best domestic lounge access (Delta SkyClubs, Centurion Lounges, and Priority Pass), up to a $200 annual airline fee credit as well as up to $200 in Uber credits, and mid-tier elite status at SPG, Marriott, and Hilton. Combined with the 60,000 point welcome offer -- worth $1,140 based on TPG's valuations -- this card is a no-brainer for frequent travelers. Here are 5 reasons you should consider this card, as well as how you can figure out if the $550 annual fee makes sense for you.
