AAdvantage Business Bonus: 10k miles if you have the Citi card.

American Airlines is targeting some AAdvantage accounts with a Business Bonus offer, seen as high as 25,000 miles but often 10,000. The miles land in your AAdvantage Business account, which requires a $5,000 annual spend on AA flights and five enrolled travelers to unlock transfers to your personal account. The Citi AAdvantage Business card waives those requirements, making it the only clean path to actually use the bonus. Without that card, the miles sit in the business account for up to 24 months before expiring.

the play

Check your AAdvantage account under Promotions and Offers for the targeted bonus, then activate it, and plan to pair it with the Citi AAdvantage Business card to unlock the miles.

Pelago via Kris+: 11 mpd if you pick the right card. Deadline Sep 30.

From Sep 1-30, Pelago bookings made through the Kris+ app earn an uncapped 7 KrisFlyer miles per dollar. Pair that with a 4 mpd card like DBS Woman's World Card (4 mpd on online spending up to S$1,000/month, no minimum spend) and you're at 11 mpd. But watch the merchant code: Pelago codes as MCC 4722, so Citi Rewards, UOB Preferred Visa and HSBC Revolution won't trigger their 4 mpd. Enable auto-transfer of KrisPay miles to KrisFlyer so you don't lose them to the 21-day conversion window.

the play

Book Pelago through Kris+ and pay with DBS Woman's World Card before Sep 30 to bank 11 mpd.
