Anyone want one of the 400 or 500 miles magazines for free?

I need to buy one to extend my miles but I really don't need more useless mail. So if someone actually wants a magazine, I will buy it with miles and put in your address.

Check out the list of magazines here: https://subscription.points.com/magazines.htm?execution=e1s1&lp=American&cid=cid

Did anyone try this^

ETA - just tried it. Got 100 "thanksagain" points for signing up. Transferred 10 to AA (should post as 5 AA miles). It says they'll be there in 7 days. Took 2 minutes. I'll report back when they post.

signed up on the 14th, it says it takes 7 days, the mean time nothing posted to my Acct. and no response to email and no answering calls, and my miles are expiring on 12/30!

At least take a screenshot. I did one of these things and thought I lost all my points when it didn't post in time. A couple of months later I got a flyer in the mail for AA cc application, and it said that it will add on to my existing miles...I guess it posted in the end and went retriactively

Just realized today that I have 2 aa accounts expiring in 2 days!!! ( 12/30) whats the best way to extend them?? Does it help if I buy magazine today if the points wont be removed until after the accounts expire? ? How long after you order the magazines do the miles get taken out of your account?  Thanks.

Award wallet gives 5 AA miles per (Approved) comment on their blog for just this situation. Mine posted fairly quickly (within a few days)

Link https://awardwallet.com/blog/link/BonusAAMilesForComment
 ETA: I see now that it actually posted the next day.

Does transferring from Starwood extend miles expiration?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

Does AA still have the magazine subscriptions to extend miles expiry?
