American's AAdvantage eShopping portal is running a referral bonus through October 30, 2026. You earn 500 bonus miles for each friend who joins eShopping through your link and spends $75 or more in qualifying purchases, up to 5,000 miles for 10 friends. Your friend earns 1,000 bonus miles. With only a few days left, here's how the AAdvantage eShopping referral bonus works.
Deal Details
The promotion runs from October 9 through Friday, October 30, 2026, ending at 11:59:59 pm ET.
- You earn: 500 bonus miles for each friend who joins through your link and spends $75 or more in qualifying purchases, up to 5,000 bonus miles for 10 friends.
- Your friend earns: 1,000 bonus miles. They must be an AAdvantage member, join eShopping as a new user through your link, and spend $75 or more in qualifying purchases.
The friend you refer needs to be new to AAdvantage eShopping and sign up through your referral link. Their qualifying purchases, $75 or more in total, have to happen through the portal by October 30. Qualifying purchases exclude returns, cancellations, shipping, taxes, gift cards and cash equivalents. Bonus miles post up to 10 weeks after the bonus period ends, and they don't count toward Loyalty Points.
How to Take Advantage
- If you're new to AAdvantage eShopping, sign up through a friend's referral link.
- Click through the portal to a retailer and spend $75 or more by October 30, 2026.
- If you're already a member, open the AAdvantage eShopping refer-a-friend page and share your referral link with friends who haven't used the portal.
- Remind each friend to sign up through your link and spend $75 or more in qualifying purchases before the promotion ends.
Why This Deal Matters
The reward per friend is small, so this one fits people who already shop online and know someone who hasn't tried the portal. Your friend's 1,000 miles is the bigger payout, which makes the ask easy. If you're building an American balance, our AAdvantage program guide covers how to earn and spend miles. Our shopping portal guide explains how portal bonuses work, and our Loyalty Points guide covers AAdvantage status.
Who Should Act
This is for AAdvantage members who shop online anyway and have friends new to eShopping, and for AAdvantage members new to eShopping who'd like 1,000 bonus miles for $75 or more in qualifying purchases. If you wouldn't spend $75 otherwise, you can pass. The promotion ends Friday, October 30, 2026, so sign up through a referral link and finish your $75 or more in qualifying purchases before then.
