Yes, you can buy miles on American Airlines.
American Airlines allows its AAdvantage members to purchase miles. This can be a great way to top off your account for an award flight or to take advantage of a promotion.
You can buy miles directly through the American Airlines website. Just log into your AAdvantage account and navigate to the “Buy Miles” section.
Keep in mind that there are limits on how many miles you can purchase each year. As of now, you can buy up to 100,000 miles annually.
The cost of purchasing miles varies, and there are often promotions that can make it cheaper. Be on the lookout for special offers that provide bonus miles or reduced rates.
Buying miles can be a smart move if you’re close to the amount needed for a specific flight. However, always calculate if it’s worth the expense compared to buying a ticket directly.
Also, purchased miles usually don’t count towards elite status qualification. So, if you’re aiming for that, buying miles may not help you out.
