Does anyone have any American Airlines miles to gift or sell? My husband & I are looking to upgrade for a long flight to Europe and need more miles to do so...thanks!

It is in contravention of AA's rules to sell AA miles, or almost any other airline miles for that matter. To quote AA's rules "At no time may AAdvantage mileage credit or award tickets be purchased, sold or bartered. Any such mileage or tickets are void if transferred for cash or other consideration. Violators (including any passenger who uses a purchased or bartered award ticket) may be liable for damages and litigation costs, including American Airlines attorneys fees incurred in enforcing this rule. (http://www.aa.com/aa/i18nForward.do?p=/AAdvantage/programDetails/termsAndConditions/termsAndConditions.jsp) " You can buy extra miles from AA for a small fee but that's about it, unless someone wants to give them to you.
Also, you may not even be able to upgrade to begin with. Mileage upgrades, especially overseas, are both hard to come by and only apply to tickets that are not the cheapest price level.

Beth, if you & your husband each have an AA frequent flyer account, you can purchase up to 40,000 miles for each account per year at $25/1000 miles. Otherwise, you'll have to beg your friends & relatives to buy some for you.
