American Airlines last week [released half a million seats for 5,000 AAdvantage miles]( each one-way. This sale includes flights to popular spring spots in Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America, and it runs through Friday. We found 5,000-mile tickets to the Cayman Islands, Turks and Caicos, Cancun, and even the new [airport in Tulum, Mexico]( which opens to U.S. airlines later this month ... among plenty of other destinations. It’s a reminder that while you can certainly get outsize value for your miles on long-haul business-class tickets, routinely using the right credit card [when dining out]( and paying your bills — and [perhaps even when paying rent]( can help you score a flight to a great destination. Hoping to earn miles instead of spend them? There are also some surprisingly low fares to [popular domestic destinations like Orlando and Las Vegas](. Airlines have added so many flights to those cities (and a few others) that supply and demand have forced prices down, frustrating airlines but delighting customers looking for bargains. If you plan to pay for a spring trip, it may be worth using the airfare purchase to quickly work toward the spending requirement for the welcome offer on a [new credit card]( which could help you earn tens of thousands of points for your next trip.
