About AAdvantage Miles

AAdvantage Miles – What It Is

AAdvantage Miles is American Virtual’s in‑house loyalty program.
Every log-in, flight you complete, and many other activities you take part in earn you virtual miles that you can later spend on rewards in our AAdvantage Miles Shop.

• These miles are purely virtual and belong only to American Virtual.
• They are not connected to the real‑world American Airlines AAdvantage program and cannot be transferred, sold, or redeemed outside our virtual airline.

1) What You Can Do With AAdvantage Miles
Earn Miles By Flying and Participating. You can earn AAdvantage Miles in several ways, for example:

• Regular flights
• Completing your flights and filing PIREPs adds miles to your balance.
• Events, Challenges and Special Legs
• Certain group flights, challenges, Adventures, or “featured” routes may grant extra miles or bonuses when you fly them.
• Awards and Recognitions

When staff assign you certain awards or recognitions, you may receive miles along with the award (“Community Miles”)

Each month, staff have a limited pool of “Community Miles” they can use to run flash-events, or other activities to maintain engagement in their Hub. Always check your Discord Hub channel as details will always be promptly communicated there.
The exact earning rates and any current promotions may change over time. Check Crew Center news, Hub announcements, or AAdvantage Miles pages for the latest details.

2. Check Your Balance
You can access AAdvantage Miles from within the Crew Center (look for the “AAdvantage Miles” link in the User Profile menu).
On the AAdvantage Miles main page you will typically see:

• Your current miles balance
• A summary of recent activity (how you earned or spent miles)
• Links to the AAdvantage Miles Shop and any related sections
• This is your “home” for everything related to your virtual miles.

3. Spend Miles in the AAdvantage Miles Shop
The AAdvantage Miles Shop is where you turn your virtual miles into rewards.
Depending on what is currently available, you may find:

• Virtual items – profile badges, special awards, vanity items, or in‑sim perks
• Special one-time use, CAT-Free flights with widebody aircraft
• Event-related rewards – entries or boosts connected to special events or challenges
• Occasional real‑world themed items – when offered by the VA (subject to availability and local rules)

How to use the shop:

• Browse the available rewards and categories.

• Redeem the item by confirming your choice.
• Digital or in‑system rewards may apply automatically.

Some items may:

• Require a minimum rank or meeting specific conditions
• Be offered only during a specific event or time window
• Any such limitations will be shown in the item description.

4. Featured Destinations and Special Promotions
From time to time, American Virtual highlights Featured Destinations or runs special promotions tied to AAdvantage Miles. 
When active, these may offer:

• Bonus miles for flying to or from certain airports
