Targeted: Earn up to 10,000 bonus AAdvantage Miles from AAdvantage Dining
Take a look at your inbox for this targeted offer from AAdvantage Dining. I almost overlooked it, but fortunately fellow traveler and AAdvantage Geek, Jage sent me a tweet about it. Thanks Jage!
Here are the details:

Anyway, my copy of this offer ended up in a junk email folder, so keep an eye on your inbox for it.
is that 1k points for every $250 i spend? so is have to spend $2500 to get all 10k miles?
@ jc – That’s the way I read it. I wouldn’t go out of my way to spend the money for the extra miles, but if you’re going to spend the money anyway, at the usual 3 miles per dollar plus the 10,000 bonus miles, for the $2,500 you’ll earn enough miles for a one-way ticket to Lubbock! 😉
@ snuggliestbear @ Tracy – That’s interesting, thanks for sharing!
I got an even better offer – 1.5k miles for every $250 up to 15k miles. I won’t be taking advantage of it though – there is only 1 restaurant even close to me and it isn’t even that good.
I got the 1,500 offer that snuggliestbear got
Sorry for the off-topic question. I recently learned that aadvantage points no longer directly convert to hhonors points. Is there any other way to accomplish this?
@ Jake – The only way I can think to do it is to transfer AAdvantage Miles to Hawaiian Airlines HawaiianMiles and then convert them to Hilton Honors points. Not sure that it’s a great value, a quick look at Points.com indicated that it takes 2,350 AA miles to equal 1,000 HawaiianMiles. HawaiianMiles convert to HH points 1 for 1, but in 5,000 mile increments (you’ll have to contact Hawaiian customer service to complete the transfer). So 11,750 AAdvantage Miles = 5,000 Hilton Honors Points.
Another option you might consider is using your AAdvantage miles for a hotel award. Depending upon your plans and your situation, you might get a higher return on you miles if you go that route.
Thanks for reading!
No love here from Rewards Network yet despite spending THOUSANDS of dollars with them in 2011 and in 2012. 🙁
If you are already a member, log into AAdvantage Dining and check the Bonuses page. The 10k offer was there for me even though I didn’t get an email. Registered for it, of course. 🙂
I also got the 1.5k offer, but it expires on 9/30 not 12/31. I think I’d rather have the lower rewards through the end of the year.
