AAdvantage AAte my miles
Well, serves me right. I had over 1,000,000 miles on AAdvantage but due to a recent retirement and health issues I lost track of keeping the account active by 6 weeks and AA deleted all of my miles. Yes I got them back for $600 (ouch!) but after being a member since the 80s and Exec Plat for 6 years running, I'd have expected better (like no charge for 1st offenders). Watch your miles especially those newly retired. The investment in AA is written in water. They were unmoved and unresponsive. Frankly, the program options are very limited other then travel to undesirable destinations on undesirable dates in undesirable seating. Converting to shopping options (i.e. points.com) is the worst trade rate in the industry. The miles are nearly worthless.
Watch your back!!! AA is NOT your friend.
United gave me the best options. Invest your loyalty in them.
