Earn American AAdvantage miles for joining Best Western’s Rewards program?

Strange, perhaps, but true. And it’s quick and easy as well.

Offer Details

As part of an upcoming bonus-mile offer for Best Western stays between February 6 and April 11 (which will be reviewed next week), American AAdvantage members can earn 250 bonus miles by signing up for a new Best Western Rewards account and setting their earning preference to American AAdvantage miles.

Deadline: April 11.

Deal or No Deal

If you’re not already a Best Western Rewards member and can use a few extra American miles, this is a no-brainer, even if you never plan to stay at a Best Western property.

Figure five minutes to set up a new Rewards account and you’re earning 50 miles a minute with no out-of-pocket expense. That’s 3,000 miles an hour, 24,000 miles during a workday, and … well, you get the idea.
