Reposting again as the bonus has been increased to 25,000 miles + 5,000 miles (previously it was 20,000 + 5,000 miles). Keep in mind Sprint also has a one year free deal.
Reposting this because Sprint has been sending out mail outs about this offer. This post was originally posted back in February of 2016.

The Fine Print

- AAdvantage® account name and Sprint account name must match to be eligible and account must have at least one phone active on the account.
- Miles are earned per account, not per subscriber.
- The offer is not combinable with the Sprint Discount Program. The SDP discount does not apply.
- Allow 8-10 weeks after registration for miles to be added to your AAdvantage® account.
20,000 New Account Bonus
- New Sprint account must register within 30 days of new line activation.
- Adding or transferring a new line of service to an existing Sprint account does not make the account eligible for 20,000 miles award. Existing Sprint accounts are only eligible for the Sprint Monthly Loyalty niles offer.

5,000 Monthly Miles

- Loyalty miles earned are awarded monthly. An award of 417 miles per month can be earned for a total of up to 5,004 miles after 12 months when the account remains active and in good standing.
Our Verdict
As we said in the title, for most people this won’t be a good deal. The reason being that enrolling in this excludes you from the Sprint Discount Program. Most people will find that they are able to save well over $5 per month by being enrolled in this, meaning you’d effectively be purchasing your miles for more than 1¢ per point.
The new user bonus might be more interesting, as I can’t find any new user bonuses of $200+ (this one is for $100 and eBates offers up to $187.50). Let me know your thoughts about this new partnership in the comments.
