## Summary

AAdvantage Business is paying targeted members 5,000 bonus miles on each American Airlines flight that starts or ends at LAX, ORD, JFK, LGA or EWR through December 31, 2026, capped at 50,000 miles.

Registration is required. Only tickets issued after enrollment count, and those segments must be flown by December 31, 2026. Bookings have to go through AAdvantage Business, with AAdvantage Business or corporate identifiers already on the ticket before departure. American credits the bonus within 14 days after the flight. The bonus caps at 50,000 miles after 10 eligible flights.

Award travel and Basic Economy fares do not qualify. Only American-marketed paid flights that earn AAdvantage miles count. Bonus miles do not credit elite status or Million Miler. Members cannot forward the offer.

Enroll before ticketing remaining 2026 trips through those airports if the offer appears in your AAdvantage Business account, since tickets issued earlier do not count.
