Summary
There are plenty of merchants available at the AAdvantage Shopping portal where you can conduct shopping which you might already be doing this week — whether it is for a home improvement project or purchasing a new portable electronic device — so if you intend to spend $200 anyway this week, you may as well earn 500 bonus award AAdvantage miles in the process, which should extend the expiration date of the AAdvantage miles already in your account…
…but this is not the best deal where you can earn bonus miles based on what you spend during a promotion. One example of many was where you could have spent $250 shopping and earned 1,000 bonus MileagePlus miles back in May of this year. Because of that, do not intentionally go out of your way to take advantage of this promotion — as a better promotion will likely come along in the future — unless you need those 500 bonus AAdvantage miles as soon as possible.
