 As an example, with a recent set of promotions, you could fly round trip between Boston and Europe for only 37,500 miles, rather than the normal 50,000 miles. Occasionally, 50% off awards are available. For international flights, you can typically fly between selected US cities and any of the airline's destinations in Europe.

-Discounts are only available to people who have one of the American Airlines credit cards. With most of their cards, you can book rewards for 7,500 fewer miles than normal. However, if you have the AAdvantage Gold or Aviator Blue, you'll only get a 5,000 mile discount. Discounts apply to awards in all classes of service, not just economy award tickets. If the flight is under 500 miles, AA already offers a reduced 15,000 mile award (round trip), so you'll only receive a 2,000 mile discount.
