Bottom Line
All in all, the current Bask Bank promotions might seem confusing and daunting at first. However, this is a fantastic offer on those who value American Airlines AAdvantage Miles. Not only does the promotion trigger a soft pull, but the offer is far superior to any other promotions like it!
However, you do need to pay taxes on miles earned through bank accounts.

.0042 is 4.2 cents not 42 cents a mile
Sorry – I mis-read the value – it is $0.0042/mile (0.42 CENTS/mile). Thanks.
If 76,000 miles are earned, at $0.42/mile, that means that $31,920? are added to my income for tax purposes – is that correct? That seems like a huge impact on my personal taxes. Am I missing something? Thanks.
