Close to qualifying for a free trip on your favorite airline with your miles? Well for members of JetBlue and American Airlines miles programs, you might be closer than you think.  The two companies are giving away bonus miles when you purchase some extra miles through them. Here are two such sales:

  • Between now and Wednesday May 13, when you purchase “TrueBlue” points from JetBlue.com, you will receive 10% extra at the checkout. This can be a big help for people that are so close to jetting with their points, yet need a few extra points to qualify for “free” travel. Visit JetBlue.com for more information. You must be a  registered TrueBlue member to purchase and use your points (don’t worry…it’s easy to sign up and absolutely free).
  • Another generous offer, which is available through American Airlines, will give customers an extra 30% more miles with each order they place at AA.com. For example, when you purchase 5,000 AAdvantage miles, you will get a bonus 1,500 miles absolutely free!  This offer ends June 30th and more information can be found at American Airline’s official website.

Earning bonus miles is nice, but getting a sweet deal on airfare in general is always great. So how about a jaunt to Europe in first class for half off? Yeah that would qualify as a great deal! Because now through May 31, when you purchase a first class or business class seat on OpenSkies, you will receive a companion fare absolutely free.

So if you can finagle a friend into packing a bag and heading off to either Paris or Amsterdam from New York City (yeah tough sell), then you two of you could enjoy a stylish trip at a fraction of the usual price. OpenSkies is providing the 180 degree flat bed on this flight, with a price tag of $3,900 round-trip (NYC-Paris) and $3,400 round-trip (NYC-Amsterdam). A year ago a round-trip ticket would easily cost double…for one person! Now you and a partner can fly back and forth in stlye for about $1,000 each one-way.
