FORT WORTH, Texas – If you shop online at the AAdvantage eShopping SM mall at
www.aadvantageeshopping.com
this holiday season and use your MasterCard® card to make purchases, there’ll be
no need to rub your eyes when your AAdvantage® mileage statement arrives. You
really are seeing double, or more.
American Airlines (through its AAdvantage program) and MasterCard have teamed
up to offer online shoppers double AAdvantage miles for purchases made at any of
25 participating online retailers on the AAdvantage eShopping mall site – such
as CiricuitCity.com, Lands’ End®, Overstock.com and Macys.com – through Dec. 31,
2007.
And that’s not all. With the promotional Spend Bonus, in addition to double
miles, online shoppers can earn even more bonus miles – up to 4,000
additional bonus miles in all – when using their MasterCard card at the
ultra-convenient and easy AAdvantage eShopping mall site through the end of this
year. Think of all the places you can go with those AAdvantage miles – all
earned without ever having to leave your home or office for a packed mega-mall
or crowded parking lot.
“It’s hard to beat the convenience of online shopping at the AAdvantage
eShopping mall, and with these bonus mile offers, this mall is such a rewarding
place to shop this holiday season,” said Kurt Stache, President – AAdvantage
Marketing Programs. “The AAdvantage program and MasterCard are offering what
smart shoppers and savvy travelers value at any time of year: the opportunity to
earn miles toward an award flight or upgrade.”
With more than 250 favorite name brand and online retailers, the AAdvantage
eShopping mall, at www.aadvantageeshopping.com,
offers everything from toys and clothing to books and electronics. And just as
compelling, the price of goods and services offered through the AAdvantage
eShopping mall site are the same as the ones offered through each merchant’s Web
site, making this mileage bonus offer an exceptional deal.
Here is a summary of this special holiday offer from American’s AAdvantage
eShopping SM mall program and MasterCard. Customers can join the AAdvantage
program for free at www.aa.com/enroll.
