Earn double elite-status miles with American Airlines

American Airlines today announced that customers can earn double elite-status qualifying miles when they book travel and fly on American Airlines, American Eagle and AmericanConnection between March 18, 2009 and June 15, 2009.

The special promotion puts customers on the fast track to gaining AAdvantage Gold, AAdvantage Platinum, or AAdvantage Executive Platinum status.

“We know our members value their elite status and we hope this offer will get them to that destination faster,” said Rob Friedman, President of AAdvantage Marketing Programs.

The benefits of elite status include mileage bonuses, upgrade privileges and various other perks, depending on a customer’s elite status level. Giving customers the opportunity to reach that next level of elite status faster is just another way American Airlines is showing its commitment to rewarding its frequent travellers.

To qualify, AAdvantage members simply need to register prior to travel at aa.com/offers using promotion code DBEQM. For more information on the benefits of AAdvantage elite status go to aa.com/elitestatus.
