Win American Airlines Miles

Other posts by MountainMama

American AirlinesLike the rest of the traveling public, Christine over at Almost Fearless is fed up with the airline industry’s nickel-and-diming. In particular, American Airlines has really ticked her off.

She’s hosting the “American Airlines Can Bite Me” contest, and she’s giving away 25, 000 miles from her AAdvantage Account. She’s prostesting American’s increasing the number of frequent-flyer miles you need to book a free ticket, as of October 1. Plus, the airline is tacking on all sorts of redemption fees, so that free ticket isn’t so free anymore.

All you have to do to win the miles is subscribe to Almost Fearless by RSS feed or by email. Soon, she says, she’ll announce a winner — but you must be a subscriber. Winner will also get $100 credit for a stay at a Hostelworld.com property and the opportunity to blog about your trip on Almost Fearless.

I’ve gotten to know Christine on a travel-writers’ forum and I can vouch that she’s the real deal. (Not to mention a brilliant marketer; what a great way to lasso some new readers AND make a statement about the lame state of the airline industry.) I’m following along as Christine (a former Fortune 500 company manager) travels the world — and you should, too! After all, American Airlines’ dumb new policies are going to be someone else’s gain, in the form of a free round-trip plane ticket. Not a bad deal!
