Also: Points and miles devaluations are (likely) coming [The Points Guy]( WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY Apr 6, 2021 SPONSORED BY [TPG] AA'S ENORMOUS GIVEAWAY
American Airlines' is celebrating the 40th anniversary of its AAdvantage program, and the carrier just launched a massive giveaway as part of the month-long festivities. Don't overlook this one — 40 members are going to win 1,000,000 miles each, and there are thousands of other prizes to go around, too. You can win Admirals Club memberships, seat upgrades, gift cards and more. Get the full scoop, with:
- [AA is giving away over 100 million miles](
- [How best to redeem your American miles](
- [The evolution of frequent flyer programs](
Worst case, you can use the giveaway to extend the expiration of your AA miles. I won 40 miles six times in a row — $3 worth of miles won't move the needle much when it comes to an award, but it will count as earning activity, keeping your AAdvantage miles active for another 18 months.
