The Offer
- American Airlines is having another unannounced web special award sale. This time you can find domestic flights for 5,000 miles one way
Our Verdict
Easiest way to search for these is using the award map and inputting your departure airport and the maximum amount of miles you want to spend. Deals are available from late September until the end of the booking window.

This has been around for weeks. They seem to now be running 7-10k one way web specials for many routes for two weeks to two months in advance, then go up. I liked the 5k deals better as they went until EOS. Hope they bring them back.
"American Airlines is having another unannounced web special award sale."
The whole point of a doomsday device is lost if you leave it a secret.
I flew first class last time w/ AA and it was less than stellar. Still only cost me $11, but at the end of the day I wouldn't spend the extra point on it again.
Yeah, but.. it's AA.
Seems to be gone now....dammit!
Very hard to find the First for 10,000 but *plenty* of the 5,000 economy from my market.
Free cancellation with no award deposit fee?
That’s what website says...not sure what happens to $5.60 taxes...I got taxes refunded on award flight to Spain, but that was because they cancelled flight.
mostly secondary airports but that in itself is fairly good as those fares tend to be quite high.
where am I gonna go?
FEE IF CANCEL TO REDEPOSIT MILES?
