Update 12/18/19: Some people are being targeted for an extra 5x miles on SimplyMiles offers. Subject line is ‘<name>, here’s a gift from us to you’. Hat tip to reader YRK
Update 11/23/19: Bougie Miles points out that this will work with any Mastercard, not just Citi/Barclay co-branded cards. This means you can stack these offers with Chase/BofA offers as well. You do need a co-branded card to be able to register though.
Original post:
American Airlines has launched a new miles earning opportunity called SimplyMiles. American Airlines cardholders (Citi & Barclays) can link their card(s) to this new program after signing up using their American Airlines number and then activate personalized offers. The program works much the same as AmEx offers or Chase offers, but in stead of cash back or Membership Rewards you earn American Airline miles.
I’m not sure if American Airlines is using a third party such as Cardlytics to power these offers, or if they are doing everything internally.
Has this targeted spend (BB, CVS) officially expired?
As of today, I am still unable to add an Amex card as it’s not 16 digits#. Anyone else with me?
same to me. Follow up here
Last time I used the BB offer, rep told me GC from BB will not trigger offer.
Do GC work at CVS?
T&C exclude them, but are they enforced?
Seems they are enforced at BB, but no DP for CVS
GC works
got 250 and 500 points for best buy 200 purchase, is there anyone having hard time to register amex card? It keeps asking16 digit card #
CVS back on or accounts with 6/30 Exp as well
Would using the card be enough? We don’t need to click thru’ the link, right?
Does it work with Apple Pay?
I got offer for 250 AA miles after $45 at CVS and 250 AA miles for $200 online at Best Buy. Anyone different?
I just registered for SimplyMiles, got 84 useless offers. I don’t think I will ever use this portal unless I see an alert for good one from DoC.
I am seeing better miles/$ for American Airlines at Cashbackmonitor for the same offers
