Just a very quick post to alert readers to a promotion that American Airlines may be running but that seems to be limited to, at best, a small subset of American Airlines AAdvantage members (none of the three accounts I control were targeted for this promotion). Still, if this promotion is genuine and if you’re lucky, then American Airlines may be happy to offer you some bonus miles.

Triple Elite Qualifying Miles could be extremely helpful for anyone looking to earn or maintain status for next year and Triple Redeemable Miles would be a nice added bonus…..although that will probably just see you earning the same number of miles that you would have ordinarily earned before AAdvantage moved to be ing a revenue-based program!

But is this real?

I confess that I have a very small niggling doubt at the back of my mind about this promotion…and here’s why:

  • I can’t find any mention of this promotion on AA.com
  • The link supplied by @WandrMe shows that the promotion code is NE1DM…..

ne1dm…an that’s a little close to “Anyone DM” (possible Twitter speak?) for my liking.

Admittedly some Twitter users have claimed to have registered successfully so its possible this is real and I’m just being overly sceptical.

In this story’s favor is the fact that AA.com doesn’t appear to reject the code outright – it returns the message “we’re sorry but the account you entered isn’t eligible for this promotion” as opposed to “our system is having trouble. Please try again or come back later” which is what you get when you enter a fake/incorrect promotion code.

I really hope this is real and that at least a few readers get to sign up…and if you do please report back.

Let me know if you find any T&C’s and, for those who do successfully sign up, let me know where you’re based and what your AA travel patterns are like so we can try to build a picture of who American is actually targeting. Thanks!
