A reader wrote to me recently about his success story planning and booking a fantastic Round-the-World honeymoon, through knowledge and tips he picked up right here on MileValue. He was eager to share his story, in hopes of showing you all that a luxurious round-the-world adventure is completely within reach if you apply and dedicate yourself to making it happen. For the sake of anonymity, we will call him by his avatar here on the site, Pumatiger.

Rocketmiles is running a promotion for first time users that lasts through August 15, 2016.

Let’s talk about how to use American Airlines miles for awards to Africa.

The Citi® / AAdvantage® Executive World Elite™ MasterCard® 60,000 mile offer has expired.

Travel from San Francisco, Washington DC, Cleveland, Houston, Denver, and New York to Zurich, Switzerland; or Frankfurt, Germany for $414+ in American Airlines economy. Most of the availability for these deals is between September 2016 and April 2017.

We have seen a lot of changes lately to American Airlines' frequent flyer program AAdvantage, like:

these alterations to how we get, maintain, and use the benefits of American Airlines' status
the massive devaluation to American Airlines' award redemption chart

About the same time we were informed of these things (late 2015), American Airlines also announced changes in the structure of how we earn miles that were planned to take affect in the second half of 2016.

The Citi® / AAdvantage® Executive World Elite™ MasterCard® 60,000 mile offer has expired.

American Airlines is offering up to 15,000 bonus miles and 35% off on the purchase of miles through June 1, 2016. You can now buy 165,000 American Airlines miles including bonus for $3,122 or 1.89 cents each.

The discount is fixed, but the bonus miles are tiered, based on how many miles you purchase.

Today (May 11, 2016) is the last day to take advantage of the 30% discount on Virgin Atlantic economy awards that brings the price of an award between select U.S cities and London down to only 12,250 Virgin Atlantic miles and $134.60 in taxes and fuel surcharges.

If you stack that Virgin Atlantic economy sale with the current deal American Express is offering-- a 30% transfer bonus of Membership Rewards to Virgin Atlantic through May 31, 2016--then you can book an award to London for only 10,000 Membership Rewards +$134.60!! Book now, but not as a roundtrip.
Why

You can earn 700 AAdvantage miles by entering American Airlines' Miles for Milestones giveaway, a celebration of the 35th anniversary of the American Airlines AAdvantage® program. 35 winners will be chosen for the grand prize of 350,000 AAdvantage miles.                                                           _

Getting approximately $12 worth of miles for about five minutes of work is a great deal for me, especially since it resets the expiration clock in your American Airlines account, extending your entire mileage balance's expiration for 18 months.
