American Airlines Cruises has introduced some excellent bonuses for booking qualifying cruises this September. With this limited-time deal, you can earn up to 5x American Airlines miles just by booking a cruise. Plus, there’s even a sweepstakes offer for 1 million miles.

Here are all of the details of this offer.

American Airlines Cruises Bonus Offer: Earn up to 5x Miles

There are so many websites for booking cruises, and we have found that they usually have identical or incredibly similar prices. The difference comes in the bonuses and perks offered.

If you’re a fan of American Airlines, you’ll be excited to learn about American Airlines Cruises, a website that allows you to earn American Airlines AAdvantage miles and Loyalty Points when booking cruises.

Make a new booking for select cruises by August 16, 2024, to earn double miles on your booking. Normally, you’ll earn 1 mile per dollar spent, but this offer turns that into 2 AA miles per dollar.

If you have an American Airlines credit card, however, you can earn up to 5x miles on your spending. Through August 31, 2024, you can earn an additional 3 miles per dollar spent, providing a total of 5 miles on each dollar spent. This offer applies to balcony staterooms and suites for sailings in 2024.

Bear in mind that you need to book through American Airlines Cruises to be eligible for bonus miles.

Hot Tip:

You can double-dip and earn even more American Airlines miles by paying for your cruise with an American Airlines co-branded card.

Win 1 Million Miles With American Airlines Cruises

How does winning part of 1 million AA miles sound? Through September 30, 2024, American Airlines Cruises is giving away huge prizes, and there’s no purchase necessary to enter.

Go to the sweepstakes page and fill out the form, including your AAdvantage number. You must be a U.S. resident age 21 or older to enter.

The grand prize winner will get 500,000 bonus miles and a 7-night cruise for 2 in a balcony stateroom, sailing with Royal Caribbean. An additional 5 winners will get 100,000 AA miles each — for a total of 1 million miles available in this giveaway.

Hot Tip:

The miles earned through American Airlines Cruise promotions are considered bonus miles, which means you won’t also earn Loyalty Points on earnings from the giveaway or from cruises you pay for.

Final Thoughts

American Airlines Cruises is offering up to 5x bonus miles by booking cruises through August 31. These deals are being offered across multiple cruise lines for cruises of varying lengths. Plus, you could win a share of 1 million AA miles by filling out a form before September 30.

If you’ve been considering booking a cruise — and the price is comparable to booking direct — it may be worth it to book through American Airlines and earn a nice chunk of bonus miles. If nothing else, enter the drawing before the deadline for a chance at a free cruise and a big chunk of miles.
