500 AAdvantage Miles

American Airlines is giving away 500 AAdvantage bonus miles on Facebook. First, like both the American Airlines and AAdvantage Facebook pages – then answer a simple few questions. Participants will also be entered for a chance to win one of four possible prizes (three second place 25,000-mile prizes and one grand prize of 50,000 miles) in a random sweepstakes drawings.

This promotion/sweepstakes is open to the first 200,000 eligible entrants or until Dec. 17, whichever comes first.

 

Up to 1,000 United Miles

Register with bckstgr.com and link to your Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare accounts to earn up to 1,000 United Airlines miles. Registration is 400 miles, and linking each account adds an additional 200 miles. I only registered and linked my Twitter (that I only use for promotions like this), so I got 600 miles. I didn't feel comfortable linking my personal Facebook and I don't even have a Foursquare account at the moment, though I may in the future. This site does ask for your MileagePlus PIN/password, so those concerned with safety may want to change it after your United miles post.
