American Will Honor Ticketed ~$450 Business Class Fares To Asia

On Tuesday I posted about the amazing ~$450 roundtrip business class fares which American published between Washington and Beijing. The deal was available for several hours before it was pulled.

Not surprisingly, American has now confirmed on Twitter that they'll honor the fare for everyone that managed to ticket their reservations, presumably thanks in no small part to the DOT regulations saying they have to do so:

Earn American Miles With BankDirect

One way of earning American Advantage miles that is often overlooked these days is through a checking account at BankDirect. Now let me state up front, this is nowhere near as sexy as the latest manufactured spend technique. But it's also a lot easier to understand, so easy in fact that you can probably explain it to your grandmother. It's also a passive technique meaning you can set it up once and more or less forget about it.

If you don't mind getting paid in miles, you can earn a very hefty return on your checking account balance with BankDirect.

Although BankDirect offers a couple of banking products that pay interest in miles, I'm going to focus on the Mileage Checking With Interest accounts.
