American Airlines is giving AAdvantage members a head start on earning status for 2025. From March 1, members can earn 500 bonus Loyalty Points per flight (up to 5,000 points total) when flying in March 2025. Here’s how to take advantage.

The AAdvantage program saw record redemptions in 2024, with members using miles for 15 million awards. Nearly 10% of American’s 2024 flights were award travel. With new ways to earn and spend points, 2025 is shaping up to be the most flexible year yet for loyalty members.
