American Airlines has announced their latest Buy Miles promotion, which is running now through October 8, 2018, where you can earn up to 42,500 bonus American Airlines AAdvantage miles. American Airlines constantly offers promotions when purchasing miles, so I’m not the least surprised to see another one being offered.

Offer Details: 

Save big and get up to 42,500 bonus miles when you buy or gift American Airlines AAdvantage® miles through October 8.

Use your eligible AAdvantage® credit card to earn additional miles for every dollar you spend.
