Targeted: AA Double Miles + Fast Track Elite Status

A FFU reader sent me this tip today, so I thought I’d share.

It looks like American Airlines has sent a targeted promotion to some people with an offer for Double Miles and fast track Elite Status.

Fly 10,000 miles for Platinum Status and 25,000 for Executive Platinum status.

The email clearly says that it is targeted but I tried using the code and I got a confirmation that I was registered so we will see.

Simply go to AA Offers and enter promo code HVCAA

The Email:

“At American Airlines, we value your business and want to see more  of you. That’s why we’re offering two exciting promotions, exclusively for you.

First, you can earn double American Airlines AAdvantage® miles on all purchased, published fares for travel on American Airlines, American Eagle or the AmericanConnection® carrier between February 8, 2012 and  May 31, 2012.

Second, we’re offering you the opportunity to qualify for AAdvantage Platinum® or even AAdvantage Executive Platinum® status at an accelerated rate.

Between February 8, 2012 and May 31, 2012, simply fly the required number of base miles as outlined below on American Airlines, American Eagle or the AmericanConnection carrier. Elite-status membership earned through this special promotion will be valid through February 28, 2013.

We know you’ll appreciate the unique privileges of AAdvantage Platinum or AAdvantage Executive Platinum status, including:

AAdvantage Platinum
• 72 hour upgrade window
• 100% mileage bonus on select elite-qualifying flights
• Priority Baggage Delivery

AAdvantage Executive Platinum
• Unlimited complimentary upgrades confirmed at 100 hours pior to departure (subject to availability)**
• Eight (8) one-way Systemwide Upgrades+
• Expanded MileSAAver® award availability for you and one companion
• Waived ticketing service charges and AAdvantage change and reinstatement charges

For complete details on all AAdvantage elite-status benefits, visit www.aa.com/elitebenefits

Simply click the button below to login and register for this promotion using the Promotion Code HVCAA prior to travel and by 11:59pm CT on February 29, 2012.

This is an exclusive offer only for members who receive this email from American Airlines and register online to participate

Bottom Line:

Since it is free to sign up and the offer seems to be working at the moment, there is no harm in at least signing up. If this offer is in fact valid, it is a fairly lucrative offer because to normally earn this status it would take almost 50,000 or 100,000 depending on the level. Just for the benefits that come with this status, it would almost make sense to do a mileage run to take advantage of this promotion.

  1. Hi Parag! Maybe I am just reading through this too quickly but I don’t see the required number of base miles needed to fly in order receive the accelerated elite status.

  2. Thanks for the catch. 10,000 miles for Platinum and 25,000 for Executive Platinum status. Obviously it is quite a good deal!
