If you are like me & don't travel much, but still have FF miles stored up, check your American Airlines site. If you haven't been active in a few years, your miles will expire come December 31st! Happy New Year!

=yeah..thanks for the notice..
we were in the same boat with Delta..and we got on the stick; in October.. fought for an hour and a half with a charming person from INDIA..:evil.. and finally burned 70,000 miles for next summer in Golden ,Colorado...Mark's chance to get home for his 40th H.S. class reunion.."for free"...:dizzy...
we figured may as well burn 'em as lose them.. we never ever get a chance to redeem for domestic, foreign, heck across the street..( we are always TOO late..
..).. so we really worked at it..
=hammer..we now *KNOW* why folks just plain give up, and lose them, it would be easier to prepare to take on the Spanish Armada fleet again from centuries ago versus trying to redeem those miles!!..OMG!!...
best Holiday thoughts Edward!!....:daisy..Joanne

I'm preparing (praying) to redeem miles next week for my flight to Auckland, New Zealand. Holding my breath...

That is one of the reasons we like Alaska Airlines. Their program makes it E-A-S-Y to redeem miles. We have taken several trips on miles and our trip to FLL in February is with miles. Of course we travel enough to not let them get close to expiring. :lol

That is why they are called frequent flyer instead of occasional flyer programs.
And yes, you do have to keep on top of things.
So far we've used ours every year for the past 15 years without problems... Well, there was that one time we had to stay an extra 2 days in Galveston, but that was a good thing.
One year we didn't have quite enough and had to purchase 5000 miles, no biggie when you consider you need a min of 25,000 to get anywhere.
DH flies a lot and both our personal and business credit cards earn miles.
Good luck Mary Ann.

Just keeping track of 8 airlines (5 for me) is a pain. I suppose some of them we will never collect a "free ride".
I really have to redo my list of airline FF numbers and Hotel & Auto Rental numbers.
I even have too keep flyer #s for 2 occasional employees.
