Previous discussion here. Yesterday’s deal was to follow American Airlines via Twitter for a chance to win 30,000 miles. I did not bother writing about it because I am not a member of Twitter yet. This website may make me succumb to join someday.

Today’s deal is pretty straight forward, 30% off the purchase of miles. Before booking any trips via American Airlines or its affiliates, be sure to price out what it would cost to buy the amount of miles needed for the trip. There could be a possibility of getting the ticket cheaper with purchased miles. Make sure to factor in the $30 fee on top of the mileage cost when computing your rate of return.

If you purchased the maximum 40,000 miles through this promotion, the total cost would be $730, or $0.018/mile. It is up to you to determine if those 40,000 miles would be of better value based on your proposed itinerary.
