American Airlines Raises New-Member Miles Bonus for Free AAdvantage Business Program
New sign-ups for American's free small-business rewards program can get 15,000 bonus miles through October 31, 2026, up from the usual 10,000.
American Airlines has raised the welcome bonus for its free AAdvantage Business program. New members who register can now get 15,000 bonus AAdvantage miles, according to One Mile at a Time, Frequent Miler and Doctor of Credit.
Frequent Miler reported that the higher offer uses the promo code GET15K. The earlier offer was 10,000 miles with the code BNS10K, as shown by Doctor of Credit. Frequent Miler said the bump lasts for the next month.
One Mile at a Time reported that the bonus runs through October 31, 2026, and that no activity is needed to earn the miles. It described the program as a free rewards plan for small businesses. Members earn one extra Loyalty Point and one extra mile for each eligible dollar spent on American flights.
Frequent Miler said it assumes the bonus will drop back to 10,000 miles after October 31 with the old code. That is an assumption by the outlet, not something American has confirmed in these reports. Doctor of Credit also noted that the sign-up requirements are waived for holders of the Citi AAdvantage Business card.
What it means for travelers
Travelers who run a small business and fly American may get extra miles at no cost. The higher bonus is available for a limited time, so it may be worth checking before the end of October.
What to watch next
Check eligibility and the current offer terms on American Airlines' official website before signing up, since the notes do not confirm what happens after October 31.
