Earn 20,000 bonus miles by booking a trip to select South American destinations exclusively through American Airlines Vacations before Sept. 30.
This offer is on top of the 1,000 bonus miles that come with the booking of any American Airlines Vacations package.
Also, this is a great way to earn bonus miles, so make sure to use a great travel credit card to get the most out of your reservation. This offer is not valid on existing reservations, and your hotel stay must match the length of the trip. These points will be added to your AAdvantage account six-eight weeks after your stay.
