If you are looking to save on a year end American Airlines flight (and correspeonding double EQMs/miles) a 5% coupon code just emerged good now through December 31. There don't seem to be any blackouts - neither Thanksgiving nor Christmas and the only conditions are that you must book on AA.com using the code 9612DD in the promo code box at checkout. The entire itinerary must be on American or American Eagle, so no codeshare or partner flights, and the 5% is taken off the base fare, not taxes or other fees. 5% isn't huge, but every little bit counts, and the promo could be pulled at any moment, so if you have some upcoming travel to plan, better get in on it sooner rather than later.

Use the promo code to get 5% off your American flights.

I double checked on a few different flights and though it doesn't show you the precise discounted dollar amount, the promo code is applied does bring down the fare 5%. Read more here at The Flight Deal.
