How to earn AAdvantage miles

American AAdvantage members earn 5 miles per $1 on American Airlines fares, rising to 7, 8, 9 and 11 with Gold, Platinum, Platinum Pro and Executive Platinum status; basic economy earns none. Partner-airline flights earn by distance and cabin, and Citi points transfer in at 1:1, Marriott points at 3:1.

How to earn Marriott points

Marriott Bonvoy members earn 10 points per $1 at most of its hotels — 5 at Residence Inn, TownePlace Suites and Element — plus an elite bonus from 10% for Silver to 75% for Titanium and Ambassador. Marriott's co-brand cards earn up to 6 points per $1 at Marriott, and US Amex, Chase and Bilt points transfer in at 1:1.

Comparison

Avios vs Amex Membership Rewards

Hold Membership Rewards until you have an Avios booking in mind. Amex points transfer to Avios at 1:1 and never expire while you keep an MR-earning Card, so they are the flexible form of the same value. Avios lapse after 36 months of inactivity and can only be spent in Avios programs.

Comparison

Marriott Bonvoy vs Hilton Honors

A Marriott Bonvoy point is worth more than a Hilton Honors point — about 0.73 cents against 0.4, per the published US valuations — so a Hilton balance has to be roughly twice the size to buy the same night. Both expire after 24 consecutive months of inactivity. Compare a specific night in cents per point, not balances.

Comparison

Avios vs AAdvantage miles

Avios and AAdvantage miles land close in value — about 1p per Avios against roughly 1.5 cents per mile — so the deciding factor is usually the cash charges, because a British Airways Avios reward adds carrier charges on top of tax. Avios expire after 36 months of inactivity; AAdvantage miles after 24.
