News: Earn Up To 5,000 Loyalty Points As A Head Start On Your AAdvantage Status - Credit-Land.com

American Airline AAdvantage® program is out with a new promotion that will allow members to earn status faster and get additional rewards. For a limited time, AAdvantage® members will be able to earn 500 additional Loyalty Points for each flight taken in March 2025. The total earnings are capped at 5,000 Loyalty Points total.

Here's how to take advantage of the promotion:


1. Log in to your AAdvantage® account and register for the promotion

2. Book an eligible American Airlines flight

3. Complete your travel by March 31, 2025.

Note that flights booked in basic economy won't count toward this promotion. If you book flights with a connection, you will earn 500 Loyalty Points for every flight on your trip.

To increase your Loyalty Points earnings even more, you can use an AAdvantage credit card like the AAdvantage® Aviator® Red World Elite Mastercard®*, Citi® / AAdvantage® Executive World Elite Mastercard®*, or the Citi® / AAdvantage Business™ World Elite Mastercard®.

Additionally, this year, AAdvantage® members are given more Loyalty Point Rewards, including:

  • A new personalized, collectible luggage tag: members can receive this luggage tag as a Loyalty Point Reward after they reach 15,000 Loyalty Points.
  • Food and beverages for miles: starting March 18, members will be able to use their miles to purchase food and beverages during eligible flights.
  • Option to choose World of Hyatt award: members will have this option in Loyalty Point Rewards after linking their AAdvantage® account to the Hyatt program.

Valued travelers also got a new benefit in December when American announced the addition of new Million Miler™ lifetime status levels for members who've reached 4 and 5 million miles: lifetime Platinum Pro® status and lifetime Executive Platinum® status correspondingly. This new benefit was delivered to eligible members earlier this month, ahead of the new program year.
