From now through September 30, 2012 you can earn up to 25,000 bonus miles flying Chicago to Helsinki on American Airlines.
| Booking Class | Bonus Miles for Round-Trip Travel |
|---|---|
| Business Class (booked in J, D, R or I) | 25,000 |
| Full-Fare Economy (booked in Y, B or H) | 20,000 |
| Discount Economy (booked in K, L or M) | 15,000 |
Bonus miles will only be awarded for roundtrip travel.
Registration prior to flying is required. You can register here using, promotion code AAHEL.
The fine print fails to mention if there is a limit to how many miles you can earn so I suspect you can only earn a maximum of 25,000 bonus miles flying Chicago to Helsinki.

Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card
The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card is the best card to get started in the world of miles and points. It is the first card you should get to start traveling for free because the welcome offer is 60,000 points after spending $4,000 in the first three months.
My favorite perks about this card are earning 5X points on travel when booked through the Chase portal (2X if direct purchase), 3X points on dining, $50 yearly credit on hotels booked through the Chase portal, no foreign transaction fees, and transferring points to 13 airline and hotel partners like Hyatt, United, and Southwest.
