Summary
If you are already booked on the cheap business class tickets to Europe that have popped up all year (and you should credit to AA if you already book them), then definitely sign-up for one of these promos! If you have not yet and want to earn some serious miles as well as see more of the world, keep your eyes open for sales that may yet come.
While similar promos in the past may have been more difficult to earn the big miles for not a ton of money, the fare sales that have been going on this year certainly put these bonuses more within reach. Now we just need more fare sales!
