Get 500 AAdvantage miles+up to 1,000 United miles

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.

I consider opportunities like this good for adding activity to extend the expiration dates of my miles.

1,000 Airline Miles from Thanks Again Visa Offers

Thanks Again Page 

Get bonus miles when you sign up to receive advertisements and special offers on your mobile phone, redeemable when you use your enrolled Visa card. This offer is apparently available for Delta and US Airways as well as United, though you can only receive the 1,000-mile bonus on one airline.

Unfortunately this requires spamming your phone, but if you have unlimited texting, it’s just a minor annoyance. You can always opt out of the texts once your miles post by replying “STOP.”

Also, this program tracks your shopping habits on your enrolled Visa card. Thanks Again is a Visa partner. Visa already has your personal information; they just want your permission to track your spending for marketing and sales purposes, so they can send targeted deals to your phone. I’m still trying to decide if I’m okay with that, but the offer doesn’t expire until September 30. I may just enroll a card that I rarely use.

Points will post in 4-6 weeks.
