AAdvantage, explained.
Every Nanvero guide and calculator for American AAdvantage, in one place.
American Airlines AAdvantage is the largest US airline program by membership. A mile is typically worth about 1.5 cents, between the two US reference valuations, which disagree here. Miles expire after 24 months with no earning or redemption, though AAdvantage credit-card holders and members under 21 are exempt from that rule.
AAdvantage miles are earned on American flights, the airline's co-brand cards and a long list of partners, and they can also be reached by transferring Citi ThankYou or Bilt points at 1:1. The guides here cover how fast each kind of spend earns, how long a balance lasts, and what a mile is realistically worth.
American prices its own flights dynamically, so the miles needed rise and fall with the cash fare. Partner awards are where the program still rewards planning, because they are priced from a published chart. If you hold miles and are not sure they will last, read the expiry guide first: the 24-month clock is easy to reset, and cardholders are exempt from it entirely.
