I Doordashed for American Airlines flight miles
This travel hack is probably the maddest thing I’ve done for flight miles- yet.
BRACE YOURSELF! If you’ve read my previous substack you know I LOVE getting a bang for my buck just as much as I love traveling. I rarely turn down the opportunity to partake in rewards programs, whether it comes in the form of credit card bonuses, mistake fares, loyalty programs you’ve never heard of..but get your popcorn out because this travel hack might be my most ridiculous yet.
Yes, I recently delivered my first DoorDash.
Not for money.
Not to start a side hustle.
It was for 5900 American Airlines flight miles.
American Airlines and DoorDash are currently running a promo (for new drivers only) where you can earn up to 5900 AAdvantage miles by delivering your first DoorDash. All you need is to complete one. And listen, I’m not saying I’m willing to do anything for a business-class seat to Asia but I would rather wear my headphones in first class for 11 hours if I meant wearing a pizza bag for 2 hours delivering fast service.
How it works
Sign up and get approved to deliver on DoorDash and go into the AAdvantage shopping portal in your American Airlines account. Just googling American Airlines 5900 miles for DoorDash should do the trick.
My experience
Attached is a video I posted online that got nearly a million views across TikTok and Instagram. I talk about how fun the experience was with my partner and that we ended up doordashing beyond the 1 dash requirement. Spoiler: You will do some self-reflection about your tipping habits.
Would You Try It?!?!
A lot of users commented that this was their first time hearing about the promotion. Which made me wonder- was I the first to take advantage of it too?! How many other travel smart flyers would go this far for points as well?

Until next time,
