美國航空（AA）與全美航空（US）將於2015年1月1日到2015年12月31日，提供價購商務艙與頭等艙機票的旅客額外獎勵哩程。

此活動獎勵哩程標準如下：

此活動不僅適用於AA與US執飛航班，對於AA會員來說，也適用於英國航空（BA）、西班牙航空（IB）、芬蘭航空（AY）、澳洲航空（QF）與日本航空（JL）執飛的共用班號航班。很可惜的是國泰航空（CX）的航班不適用，雖然在aa.com上面購買CX執飛航班的商務艙機票時常比JL執飛航班的便宜。每航段可拿一次本活動獎勵哩程。

我們以一個例子來看看使用這個活動的商務艙機票的哩程累積情形。

一位AA Executive Platinum會員可以得到18,996 miles（基本哩程）+ 18,996 miles（Executive Platinum獎勵哩程）+9,498 miles（商務艙獎勵哩程）+ 1,000 miles（本活動獎勵哩程）+ 3,500（本活動獎勵哩程）+ 1,000 miles（本活動獎勵哩程）+ 3,500（本活動獎勵哩程）= 56,490 miles。取得獎勵哩程成本（不計入各項服務內容）約為$0.10/mile。

一位AA普通會員可以得到18,996 miles（基本哩程）+9,498 miles（商務艙獎勵哩程）+ + 250（本活動獎勵哩程）+ 250 miles（本活動獎勵哩程））= 28,994 miles。取得獎勵哩程成本（不計入各項服務內容）約為$0.20/mile。

我們來比較一下自2015年起以機票價格計算獎勵哩程的達美航空（DL）與聯合航空（UA）在類似的行程分別可以累積多少獎勵哩程。

一位DL Diamond Medallion會員可以得到11 miles/$ X $5,539 = 60,929 miles。取得獎勵哩程成本（不計入各項服務內容）約為$0.09/mile。

一位DL普通會員可以得到5 miles/$ X $5,539 = 27,695 miles。取得獎勵哩程成本（不計入各項服務內容）約為$0.20/mile。

UA：

一位UA Premier 1K或Global Services會員可以得到11 miles/$ X $5,334 = 58,674 miles。取得獎勵哩程成本（不計入各項服務內容）約為$0.09/mile。

一位UA普通會員可以得到5 miles/$ X $5,334 = 26,670 miles。取得獎勵哩程成本（不計入各項服務內容）約為$0.20/mile。

從以上的比較來看，AA施行這個促銷活動之後，對商務艙與頭等艙乘客提供與DL及UA相似的獎勵哩程誘因。不過，與DL及UA相較，AA對於含有較多航段的商務艙與頭等艙機票提供更多的獎勵哩程。

在這麼大規模的獎勵哩程促銷活動之後，寰宇一家航空公司哩程票兌換難度與AA在2016年調整哩程票兌換標準的可能性或許也隨之提高。
