Your Dream Destination Awaits Nothing beats finally going on your dream vacation — unless of course you used AAdvantage® miles to get you there! With all of the different ways you can earn AAdvantage miles just by doing everyday transactions, getting on your way to your dream vacation has never been easier. If you thought the only way you could earn miles was through flying, or if you’re not even an AAdvantage member yet, this guide is all you need. The “Earn Miles Go Places” guide can help you discover the myriad ways to earn those precious miles (no searching required). I believe even the most savvy mileage junkie will find a partner or two you didn’t know about in here (and if I’m wrong, let me know). This year marks the 30th anniversary of the AAdvantage program, and since inception, we’ve provided our members with hundreds of millions of award trips. By collecting miles, not only can you redeem them for flights to nearly 950 destinations served by American Airlines and our airline participants, but you can also redeem them for hotel stays, car rentals, magazines, and other fantastic awards. Not already an AAdvantage member? It’s easy to enroll. Simply log on to www.aa.com/enroll or scan the QR code we’ve provided on page 5 and register online. While there, we encourage you to sign up to receive AAdvantage eSummary® emails and other AAdvantage emails that will keep you informed of all the great ways to earn miles. Or become a fan of our Facebook page at www. facebook.com/aadvantage to stay up-to-date. It is my hope that this guide will help you get enrolled in the AAdvantage program if you aren’t a member and will help you earn more AAdvantage miles than ever. More importantly, I hope it’ll help get you to your dream vacation faster than ever. Happy earning and traveling!
