Our Verdict

Not sure I can overstate how much of a bad idea it is to choose your real estate agent based on a few American Airlines as a bonus. It’s a really really bad idea, do not do this deal. I guess you could theoretically independently do your own research and then sign up for this promotion and if it refers you to the same real estate agent go for it. But I think you’d still probably be better off going direct and then asking for a fee discount as they are obviously paying money to this company for referrals. I’ll say it again: this is a bad deal, don’t do it! Please!
