Discount codes and double miles – American Airlines and Race for the Cure

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and it’s also the time of the year for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.  The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure is the largest series of 5K runs/fitness walks in the world.  Since 2005, more than a million people have participated.  The purpose of the Komen Race for the Cure Series is to “raises significant funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer, celebrates breast cancer survivorship, and honors those who have lost their battle with the disease”.

American Airlines has been a partner of the Susan G. Komen Foundation for 26 years, and this year in support of their relationship, American is offering double miles for every dollar donated to the foundation and a 10% discount for travel to attend one of the 100 race events held in the Untied States and around the world.  This is from their “Join Us’ website:
