Summer is over and so are many of the AAdvantage bonus offers

I guess summer isn’t technically over for another few weeks but now that Labor Day has ended, college football has started, and the daily high temperature in Dallas has dropped below 100, in my mind Fall has (finally) arrived.

Another sign that it’s over is that many of the Summer 2011 AAdvantage Bonus offers have expired. Hopefully, the fall will bring some decent mileage promotions, but for now the list of current offers is kind of small.

Airline offers:

New York to Budapest – Double Miles
Earn double AAdvantage miles for roundtrip travel from Chicago to Hong Kong
New York To Tokyo Haneda – Up To 15,000 Bonus Miles
Chicago To Wilmington, NC – Double Miles
Boston To Paris – Double Miles

Hotel offers:

None.

Car rental offers:

Hertz – Save Up To 35 Percent And Earn Double Miles
Avis – Earn Up To 2000 Bonus Miles

I’ve got some travel to LA lined up for the fall, so I’d love to see a return of Double Elite Qualifying Miles between DFW and LAX. I’d also like to see a bonus miles offer for renewing Admirals Club members, but that’s pretty unlikely.

What do you hope you see?
