Yeah, right, it directs me to points.com, now if that would would work do you think buying miles should work?
Anyone has experience with that?

What's the minimum amount of miles you could buy?

I know, I know, I should be reading the whole thread (and I don't do this often), but would someone be kind enough to tell me the best/easiest way to extract the $100 AA statement credit?

I read the whole thread today.
The ideas mentioned were
A) paying taxes on an award ticket - confirmed that it works
B) buying luggage tags. - ctiw
C) buying snacks/drinks  in flight.
D) buying a gc ($50 minimum ) - ctiw
E) buying points was mentioned today

IIRC, buying miles require a min of 5,000.
Not sure, how about sharing miles?

So how would that come out worth it?  So far its the most expensive option.

But at least you get something 4 it. We still gotta look into mile sharing.
And the top question is whether all these mile buy/share options are considered AA purchases or points.com purchases.

Okay, I've done all the calculations.
The cheapest option (taking into consideration the current 25% BuyMiles offer) would be the luggage tags. (unless you actually fly AA and use them for in-flight purchases or for the fees on a award)

Wait -- why wouldn't buying a refundable ticket trigger the credit?

I think a yogurt was 3.99 and if you use the A'A visa cc you get a 25% discount on your statement.
