Up to 2500 Miles for American Airlines E-Mail Signups

American Airlines has 5 separate e-newsletters, and they’re offering a new promotion where they’ll give you 500 miles for each e-mail you’re not currently receiving that you opt into.

Sadly, I was already subscribed to all of them. I think I’ve gotten miles for this in the past. The lesson from the old days, when e-mail signup bonuses were commonplace, was to never accept an email subscription without getting miles for doing so. Offers are far fewer these days, so when something like this comes along jump on it. And a spam-collecting address from Yahoo, Hotelmail, etc. is always useful in this regard.

VFTW is always reliable with this kind of stuff, but there's no mention of the 500 mile bonus on the page per newsletter which I can find or see (might be Sunday blindness) Can always unsubscribe down the road if not the case.

I believe its a targetted offer - you either get offered the points or an entry into a prize draw. Alas, I was offered the 2nd option (would have got 2500 points!).

Same as Mal. I was offered to prize draw and not the 5 X 500 miles.

Did you subscribe to the newsletters first before you found out you were only eligible for the 2nd option?

According to the terms and conditions, Australian residents are not eligible for the 2nd option.

1. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Sweepstakes open to individuals legally residing in the 50 United States and the District of Columbia who are 18 years of age or older at the time of entry.

That's where pure points offerings are good - they dont usually check residency even if in the T&Cs.

I would only be interested in subscribing for the miles not for a chance to win something. I know my luck and it does not include winning....
