I’m always telling my friends and family about the magic of points and miles. Whether you plan the annual family vacation to Florida or dream about lie-flat seats to Japan, travel rewards can often get you there for a fraction of the cash price.
But there is one airline currency that stands out against its rivals, which I always highly recommend: American Airlines AAdvantage miles.
These are by far the most valuable airline miles around, and you can also redeem them for flights with American’s many Oneworld alliance partners — giving you seemingly endless possibilities.
A beach getaway for the whole family. Short domestic flights on American start at 5,000 miles one-way, while trips to popular summertime destinations like Orlando and Aruba start at 7,000 miles and 11,000 miles one-way, respectively.
A surprise couples’ trip to Hawaii. Economy flights to here on American start at 20,000 miles one-way, so you could use 80,000 miles for two round-trip tickets.
Fly to Europe in extra comfort. Premium economy flights on American start at 39,000 miles one-way, while partner redemptions on British Airways and Iberia can take you to London or Lisbon for 80,000 miles round-trip.
Fly Japan Airlines first class to Tokyo. This truly bucket-list experience can be booked for as little as 80,000 miles one-way. (All of these redemptions also come with taxes and fees.)
For a limited time, new cardholders can earn a generous 90,000 bonus miles after spending $5,000 on purchases in the first four months from account opening.
The card also comes with excellent perks like lounge passes, a boost toward elite status and credits you will actually use — but without the sky-high annual fee of a premium credit card.
If you want to score a big stash of these most-valuable miles, jump on this opportunity to get 90,000 bonus AAdvantage miles while it’s still available.
