How earnings are calculated

Each AAdvantage hotel stay has two published reward numbers: baseMiles (what a base AAdvantage member earns) and elevatedMiles (what a Citi AAdvantage Executive World Elite cardmember with Executive Platinum status earns — the maximum).

The total bonus (elevated − base) splits into two parts: a card-earned portion and a status-earned portion. This split is calibrated to match three observed data points for Rio Hotel: 700 miles for a base AAdvantage member, 4,800 miles for an Executive card with no status, and 7,800 miles for an Executive card + Executive Platinum status. That puts roughly 58% of the bonus in the card portion and 42% in the status portion.

userLP = baseMiles + bonus × 0.577 × (card/10) + bonus × 0.423 × (card/10) × (status/1.20)

Where card is the card's hotel multiplier and status is the status bonus percentage. The status portion only applies if you also hold a card — which matches AA's own rules.

Loyalty Points + base mile earning on AA Hotels works on a simple 3-bucket model. AA gives a 5× multiplier for any AAdvantage card AND a 5× multiplier for any elite status (Gold or higher). They stack, with a cap of 10×.

Your profile	LP multiplier
No card, no status	1× (base)
Any AAdvantage card OR any elite status	5×
Any AAdvantage card AND any elite status	10× (cap)

All elite tiers (Gold, Platinum, Platinum Pro, Executive Platinum) earn the same 5× multiplier on hotels. The +40/+60/+80/+120% status bonuses apply to flight earning, not hotels.

Extra redeemable miles from Citi card spend on AA Hotels purchases (separate from LP earning, miles only):

Card	Card-spend bonus on AA Hotels
Citi AAdvantage MileUp	1×
Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select	1×
Citi AAdvantage Business	1×
Citi AAdvantage Globe (Aer Lingus)	6×
Citi AAdvantage Executive World Elite	10×
