Earthquake Relief and Donation Methods
American is working with nonprofit partners to aid those in Caracas, La Guaira, and surrounding areas. AAdvantage members can support these efforts through several methods.
Donating Miles
Members can donate AAdvantage miles to enable critical aid missions for the Red Cross, UNICEF, and other organizations. Alternatively, members can use the Miles for Social Good program to help these organizations and others expand their recovery efforts.
Cash Donations and Bonus Miles
Members who donate a minimum of $25 to the American Red Cross receive 10 AAdvantage bonus miles for every dollar donated. Travelers can also donate to UNICEF’s Change for Good program to support emergency response teams on the ground.
Using AAdvantage Rewards for Aid
For travelers with large balances, donating miles is a way to support humanitarian work. AAdvantage miles typically have a value between 1.3 and 1.7 cents. Because the program has 1:1 transfer partners like Citi ThankYou and Bilt Rewards, travelers can move credit card points into AAdvantage to facilitate these donations. This is a benefit for those who want to convert excess currency into disaster recovery aid.
