I appreciate the value of AA miles and the program's benefits, but I'm not a huge fan of the Loyalty Points system. It's still a weird concept that you can earn AA elite status without ever stepping on a plane.<\/p>\n<p>But one thing I like about <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/american-aadvantage\/creative-ways-to-earn-extra-loyalty-points\/\" rel=\"noopener\">playing the Loyalty Points game<\/a> is the opportunity to score easy miles and elite status credits with little effort. In this post, I'll show you how to earn about 25,000 miles and Loyalty Points in just a few clicks by leveraging the AAdvantage eShopping portal, SimplyMiles, and your American Airlines credit card.<\/p>\n<div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"toc_light_blue no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Page Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#Stack_AAdvantage_eShopping_and_SimplyMiles_Offers_Into_AA_Elite_Status_and_Free_Flights\">Stack AAdvantage eShopping and SimplyMiles Offers Into AA Elite Status and Free Flights<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#Blue_Apron\">Blue Apron<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#HelloFresh\">HelloFresh<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Green_Chef\">Green Chef<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Factor_75\">Factor 75<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Motley_Fool\">Motley Fool<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#Time_Your_Purchases_to_Maximize_Your_Loyalty_Point_Earnings\">Time Your Purchases to Maximize Your Loyalty Point Earnings<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Use_an_AA_Credit_Card_to_Maximize_Your_Purchases\">Use an AA Credit Card to Maximize Your Purchases<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Bottom_Line\">Bottom Line<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n<h2><span id=\"Stack_AAdvantage_eShopping_and_SimplyMiles_Offers_Into_AA_Elite_Status_and_Free_Flights\">Stack AAdvantage eShopping and SimplyMiles Offers Into AA Elite Status and Free Flights<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whether you're chasing <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/american-aadvantage\/elite-status\/\" rel=\"noopener\">American Airlines elite status<\/a> or just want to stock up on miles, looking for the big-ticket <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/american-aadvantage\/aa-shopping\/\" rel=\"noopener\">AAdvantage eShopping<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/american-aadvantage\/simplymiles\/\" rel=\"noopener\">SimplyMiles<\/a> offers is a great place to start. With the right strategy, you can <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/american-aadvantage\/earn-american-miles\/\" rel=\"noopener\">earn a lot of miles and Loyalty Points<\/a> with minimal spending.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, leveraging these offers is a more lucrative alternative to booking a mileage run or putting all of your monthly expenses on an AA credit card. The AAdvantage status qualification year ends in February, and this is a tried-and-true way to get over the hump. Yes, it's silly \u2014 but it works.<\/p>\n<p>While offers are subject to change at any time, you can consistently score a big sum of valuable miles and elite status credits through meal kit offers and a Motley Fool subscription. Right now, that amounts to 24,960 miles and Loyalty Points or more \u2014 depending on your payment method.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/american-aadvantage\/why-american-lost-my-loyalty\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Why I'm No Longer Crediting Flights to the American Airlines AAdvantage Program<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Blue_Apron\">Blue Apron<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>At the time of writing, the AAdvantage eShopping portal is offering a whopping 4,500 miles and Loyalty Points for new Blue Apron customers.
