Every four American flights, you get a bonus of 5,000 Loyalty Points. And you can earn that up to three times per status year. That can give you a major leg up toward your AAdvantage elite status goals this year.
Companion certificate: Once a year (as long as you keep renewing your account), you can bring a companion on a qualifying flight for just $99 (plus taxes and fees). This is limited to Main Cabin on domestic American flights.
Travel freebies: You get your first checked bag free on domestic American itineraries, and up to $100 in statement credits on inflight purchases.
That offer is worth roughly $1,020, according to TPG’s March 2026 valuations, which rank AAdvantage miles as the most valuable currency of any U.S. airline.
