After 30 Years, the AAdvantage Program Still Offers Members the Best Travel Awards During "Deal 30" Promotion

FORT WORTH, Texas, April 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- In 1981, the world was introduced to a variety of major pop culture game-changers, including MTV, the IBM Personal Computer, Indiana Jones, and, of course, the first frequent flyer program – the AAdvantage® program. Since then, more than 67 million American Airlines AAdvantage members have been rewarded for their loyalty with billions of miles that have been redeemed for millions of flights, car rentals, hotel stays, vacation packages, and many more travel and retail awards.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary milestone and thank AAdvantage members, American has lined up 30 incredible deals as part of the "Deal 30" promotion. The deals are a combination of airline and AAdvantage participating company offers. While American is keeping most of the promotion details "hush-hush" so members can be surprised each day, what members can expect to see are: flight deals, discounts, bonus mile offers and chances to win some terrific prizes including a 2012 Chevrolet Camaro. Members will find a new deal as well as a chance to win 30,000 AAdvantage miles every weekday at aa.com/AAdvantage30th beginning April 18, 2011, through May 27, 2011. And as an added convenience, members can opt to receive text or email reminders, so as to not miss a single deal.

"Thirty has never looked better, and we're delighted to offer our loyal AAdvantage members the chance to join us in this celebration. Whether you're a 'mileage junkie' or an occasional traveler, these 30 days will have something for anyone who loves a deal," said Maya Leibman, President – AAdvantage Loyalty Program. "The 'Deal 30' promotion is our way of thanking our valued members, whose loyalty has made the AAdvantage program what it is today – and we're excited to see what the next 30 years has in store."

In addition to the daily offers and sweepstakes, every weekday during the promotion a member's video will be featured at AA.com/AAdvantage30th. The 30-second clips were selected from entries submitted earlier this year by members who wanted to tell their AAdvantage story for a chance to win 30,000 miles and have their video featured as part of the celebration.

Customers who are not currently AAdvantage members, and don't want to wait until the program's 40th anniversary to benefit from these fantastic offers, simply need to enroll at AA.com/enroll and can use promotion code ADV30 to receive 500 bonus miles for enrollment.
