Can You Transfer Miles to American Airlines?

American Airlines offers a free AAdvantage loyalty program that rewards members for air travel and other purchases, including dining and online shopping. You can redeem, transfer or sell the miles and points and get the most out of them.

Although you cannot directly transfer miles to American Airlines, you can use other airlines' miles to book an award seat on an American airline, provided they are within the same alliance. You can also credit your flights from several partner airlines to American Airlines. This allows you to consolidate all the miles you earn into one account (American Airlines).

It is important to note, although you can't move miles from one airline to another, you can transfer your miles from one account to another member account. If you are looking for an easy way to check, transfer or sell your miles, DoNotPay has you covered.

DoNotPay can guide you through the best options you have depending on your rewards program and how much each point will be worth monetarily. We will also help you transfer your points or sell them for cash.

How to Earn American Airline Miles

American Airlines is one of the biggest global airlines flying to over 350 destinations in 50 countries. It is also the founding member of Oneworld that provides opportunities for passengers to fly to over 1000 destinations worldwide. There are several ways to earn American Airlines AAdvantage miles, and many of them don't require flying.

These include:

• Earn miles via credit card welcome bonuses, for example, the AAdvantage® Aviator® Red World Elite MasterCard® allows you to earn 60,000 bonus miles in your first purchase
• Use credit card bonus categories that allow you to accumulate AAdvantage miles when you swipe your card
• Transfer points to American Airlines from Marriott Bonvoy
• Earn American Airlines miles by flying
• Shop on the American Airlines' eShopping mall

Where Can I Transfer American Airline Points?

As mentioned earlier, although you can't transfer your American Airlines points to another airline, you can move your points from one account to another member account. The following are some places to transfer your points to:

• Transfer from your account to that of a friend or a loved one and help them reach their award level.
• Reward your employees or customers by transferring your points to their account
• Contribute to a worthy cause by transferring your points to charitable organizations.

How to Transfer Airline Points to Partners on Your Own

Pooling miles is an efficient way to maximize your buying power. If you have a few unused miles, you should consider transferring them to a loved one, friend, or even an employee to boost their award level.

There are several frequent flyers and credit card rewards programs that allow you to transfer points to other members. However, each program has its own terms and conditions.

For example, transferring miles between American Airlines' AAdvantage accounts costs 1.25 cents per mile. The accounts must be at least 30 days old, and there is usually a 200,000-mile maximum per year.

The following are the steps to move AAdvantage miles from one account to another:

1. Log in to your account and navigate to the Buy, gift, and Transfer Miles section.
2. Fill out the transfer miles details, including your name, and account details.
3. Select the number of miles you want to transfer and fill in the account details of the recipient.
4. Pay the Fees to apply to complete the transaction.
5. Wait for 24 hours to finalize the transaction.
