However …. read the small print before you do it.  You are basically giving American Airlines and their marketing partner permission to sell your personal information to every Tom, Dick and Harry they can find.  You cannot opt out of this.

Personally, I am not so desperate for 500 AA miles to do this.  You might be, though!


How to earn American Airlines miles from UK credit cards

How to earn American Airlines miles from UK credit cards (November 2024)

American Airlines no longer has its own UK credit card.

There is, however, still a way to earn American Airlines miles from a UK credit card

The route is via Marriott Bonvoy. Marriott Bonvoy hotel loyalty points convert to American Airlines miles at the rate of 3:1.

The best way to earn Marriott Bonvoy points is via the official Marriott Bonvoy American Express card. It comes with 20,000 points for signing up and 2 points for every £1 you spend. At 2 Bonvoy points per £1, you are earning (at 3:1) 0.66 American Airlines miles per £1 spent on the card.

You can apply here.

    You can put in a fake email so that you don’t get bombarded, then go into your AAdvantage account and change it back again

    But I will have no need to change my email addy until I want to book a flight with them, which could be a year or so away.
