CitiBiz AA Miles posted
With the 10k miles I started with, I now have 73,320 total AA Miles (good for $733 towards Disney
)
I don't believe the offer I used is currently available (probably a similar offer out there) but here's a quick summary of what I did:
- Signed up for "dummy booking" offer of 40k miles + $250 stmt credit for $2,000 MSR
- Spend $2,002.95 PLUS $250 for an AA eGC that was reimbursed
- Asked for "Match" via backdoor SM for 20,000 additional miles
- Received 2,253 base Miles + 194 add'l miles for a cable purchase + 250 add'l miles for the eGC
- Earned the Bonus of 40k + the 20k Match
- Selling the Gift Card on Raise for another $200 Cash
- Bonus Summary: 62,697 Miles ($626 towards Disney) + $200 cash for $2,000 MSR (>41% return on my spend!)
Obviously I haven't booked a Disney hotel to be certain how this all works. It seems pretty straightforward though, so I'm happy with this move thus far. If I can get approved the Barclay Biz Aviator and Pickup a Biz Mailer from r/churningmarketplace for a 2nd Citi AA card I should have enough AA Miles for 5 nights at an Epcot Area hotel. Then I'm going to have my wife pickup a one of each card to earn enough for 2 nights at a MK area resort and our hotels for our next trip in January 2020 are covered
As a reminder, the Walt Disney World Tips thread on DISchurners has a section on AA Miles (as well as a lot of other great info supplied by people here):
