CHICAGO, January 21, 2004 – SIRVA Relocation, a unit of SIRVA, Inc., a global relocation services provider, has teamed up with American Airlines to reward AAdvantage? members on the move.

With home values averaging $150,000 across the country, AAdvantage members can earn 30,000 miles – enough for a round-trip coach class ticket anywhere in the continental U.S.
The American HomeMiles program also provides up to 5,000 miles for moving services through SIRVA Relocation as follows:
• 5,000 AAdvantage miles for Interstate-Full Service; • 1,000 AAdvantage miles for Intrastate-Full Service, Local-Full Service and One Way-Self Haul; and

“We always want to provide clients with the most attractive and highest quality moving and relocation services, and our partnership with American Airlines underscores our commitment in this regard,” said Steve Fecko, vice president of SIRVA Relocation’s Affinity Group Services. “American Airlines is a world-class organization and we are excited to partner with them to help AAdvantage members earn miles and guide them through the entire process of selling and buying their homes and moving from one location to another.”
“Our new relationship with SIRVA Relocation is a great way to provide AAdvantage members with more ways to earn miles toward travel on American Airlines,” said Jeff Zidell, vice president, AAdvantage Marketing Programs. “Now our members can look forward to a much needed vacation after buying or selling their homes and relocating, and SIRVA Relocation is a great resource to help simplify and navigate through what can be a complicated task.”
