10K AAdvantage Business bonus: same clawback risk, half the miles.
American Airlines is back with a 10,000-mile enrollment bonus for AAdvantage Business using promo code BNS10K, running through Dec. 31, 2026. Last month's 25,000-mile offer was clawed back from everyone who got it instantly, with only 5,000 miles as consolation - so this is literally double the compensation but half the original promise. The terms require 5 active travelers and $5,000 in eligible program travel per year, though those requirements were waived for Citi American Airlines business cardholders last month; that waiver may not repeat, but if it does, this is an easy 10,000 miles. Bonus miles don't count toward status or Million Miler.
the play
Register with BNS10K if you're a Citi AA business cardholder and hope the waiver repeats, but treat the 10,000 miles as uncertain given last month's clawback.
