Navigate to More Miles: INTT ADVISOR’s Expert Tips for American Airlines AAdvantage Program

For travel advisors looking to enhance their clients’ travel experiences, understanding how to maximize American Airlines AAdvantage miles is crucial. These miles offer unparalleled flexibility and value across a vast network of airline and non-alliance partners. Here’s how you can guide your clients to earn and utilize AAdvantage miles effectively:

Earn Miles by Flying

When flying with American Airlines, clients earn AAdvantage miles based on the ticket price (excluding taxes and fees). The AAdvantage elite status further enhances the mileage accrual. However, beware of American’s “special fares,” which earn miles at a modified rate based on a percentage of the distance flown instead of the amount paid.

What We Offer: As your trusted partner, we provide detailed insights into how AAdvantage miles are earned based on ticket price, elite status levels, and the specifics of special fares. Your clients will understand exactly how their miles are accrued.

Passengers also earn AAdvantage miles when flying with American Airlines’ extensive network of partners. Booking through American Airlines typically ensures miles accrue as if they were on an American Airlines flight. Direct bookings with partner airlines may adjust mileage accrual based on flight distance and fare class.

What We Offer: Whether booking through American Airlines or directly with a partner, we clarify how mileage accrual varies based on flight details. We will look into the specifics of how the miles accrue for each partner airline, so you don’t have to go through the hassle of calculating miles to find the perfect airline partner.

Credit Cards

Travelers can also earn miles on American Airlines co-branded credit cards from Citi and Barclays. These cards offer sign-up bonuses and ongoing rewards for everyday purchases, making them valuable tools for accumulating AAdvantage miles.

What We Offer: Our team at INTT ADVISOR will assist in leveraging credit card rewards to boost clients’ AAdvantage miles quickly and efficiently by staying up-to-date with all the details on how to best earn miles using credit cards.

Partner Programs

There are additional ways to earn AAdvantage miles through partner programs. Activities such as shopping, dining, and hotel bookings with brands like Hyatt, Marriott, and IHG can significantly boost the miles balance.

What We Offer: We will advise you on all the best shopping and dining offers that we believe would be most appealing to your clients.
