American Airlines Is An Enabler

Share with a friend

I admit, I’m a fan of the sundaes on American Airlines.

So when this email popped in my inbox just now, I had to read it.

I love how American is committed to keeping me on track to maintain my Executive Platinum status.

Thankfully, I have more flights on American booked so I’ll make my 100,000+ miles flown this year.  Keep those sundaes and cookies coming!

I would love to see promotional offers on flights included in these types of emails.

Something along the lines of the sub $500 round-trip flights to China.

Now that would get me to click the “Book your next flight button.”

What encourages you to book a flight? Price? Destination?

I’m all about the price and will pretty much fly anywhere (and have flown anywhere) if the price is good.  Sure, I have my bucket list of places I want to see, but I don’t need to see them in any particular order.

To say I’m price driven would be an understatement.

How about you?

P.S. American, if you’re reading this and want someone to help you develop and craft campaigns to fill those empty seats, I’m available.  You have my number.

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.
