American Airlines 50% Buy-Miles Bonus

WHAT: This is a promotion for buying miles from American Airlines. To take full advantage of this offer, one would have to buy 60,000 miles (90,000 with the bonus of 30,000 points) for roughly $1800. This is 2 cents per mile/point. If you were to use the 90,000 points for 3 round-trip USA/Canada flights, you would just break even in most cases. BUT if your thinking of taking a business-class award trip to Europe (100,000 miles needed), it is very-much worth it. The cost of this trip would be over $8000 but you would essentially be getting it for under $2000. This is where point-purchasing comes in handy. 

KNOW: Travel hacking at its finest. BUT I would only buy points if my purpose was at mentioned above. Business-class flight to Europe (or overseas). Do your math first and then decide.

Expires: Feb 28, 2013. If this is not in the plans right now, no worries. These deals pop-up throughout the year!
