I'm loyal to AA. It sucks but my city is a hub so I am stuck. A sneaky little trick I learned that I didn't know existed is their AAdvantage shopping portal. Totally free. Click the store you want to shop at and then you get bonus miles anywhere from 1-9miles per dollar. There is also AAdining where you link your credit card and get miles when used at a participating restaurant. I use my chase card for this and get double points it's amazing. I've racked up so many AA miles without even flying. You can do these things while still maintaining loyalty to another airline and just use the AA miles when convenient bc it's literally free miles

Yes. All the major programs have them (and are run by the same 3rd party so they look pretty similar and you can’t double dip).

Hi
I have received an offer from a company and I'm in the second stage of interviews with another company. I am very interested to see if I could make it through for the second company. So can I accept the offer from first company and then if second one also sends an offer then let the first company know I would like to reject? Also i am on H1B visa. Should I be concerned with that?
