American Airlines has paused mileage expiration through June 30, 2021. Any miles scheduled to expire between now and June 30th will now expire on July 1, 2021.
Interested in earning American Airlines AAdvantage® miles without having to pick up a credit card or hop on a flight with American and their partners? How about 5 AAdvantage® miles simply for having a comment approved on our blog?
We want you to share and engage with us. For that, we'll provide you 5 miles towards any active AAdvantage® account you have linked to your AwardWallet user profile. You're limited to earning 5 miles per AwardWallet user per day, so come back and comment each day. We've answered most questions below, so please read on for more details.
Want an Even Easier Way to Earn AAdvantage® Miles?
If you want to earn AAdvantage® miles on autopilot, we recommend opening a Bask Savings Account. Each month, instead of interest you'll earn miles. Every dollar you save earns one mile annually—and that can add up fast for your next big trip.
Bask Bank awards miles based on your savings balance at the end of each month, so you'll never need to worry about generating AAdvantage® account activity. Check out our full review, or visit Bask's website to learn more.
Frequent Questions on Earning Miles for Comments
Who is eligible? Anyone with a valid AAdvantage® account linked to their AwardWallet account.
Where do I go to earn miles? Visit the comments section on any of our blog posts. (Including this one)
When do I earn the miles? Miles can be earned on a daily basis and will be submitted for deposit each day, however, it may take up to 5 business days for the miles to post to your account. If your miles will expire in less than 5 business days, we've listed some fast ways to generate activity in our post about the AAdvantage® mile expiration policy.
What if I leave multiple comments? We're happy to hear from you multiple times per day. But you'll only earn 5 miles for the first comment. Our day starts at 12:00 a.m. and ends at 11:59 p.m. U.S. Eastern time. We use the time your comment is submitted to the blog (rather than when it is approved and published) to determine whether you will be awarded miles.
How do I make sure my comments are approved? Comments on the AwardWallet Blog are moderated to protect against spam and other nonsense—we read every single one.
Please put a little thought into your comment and make sure it's relevant to the post. We don't usually approve comments that don't add value to the conversation (like “Thanks!” or “Good to know“). Engaging with us, sharing your experiences, and providing constructive feedback/ideas to both AwardWallet and other readers will ensure your comments are approved.
How do I pick an AAdvantage® account to credit the miles? After you leave a comment, you'll receive one of two pop-ups. If you're logged in to AwardWallet in the same browser (different tab perhaps), you'll receive the pop-up immediately below. If you're NOT logged in to your AwardWallet account, you'll receive the message further down. You'll need to log in to AwardWallet in a different tab and click the refresh accounts button; you'll then see a list of the AAdvantage® accounts that are linked and valid.

I miss flying so much. Do you remember the days of flying just for fun?
This post is a great idea! Thanks a lot!
I’ve always felt the expiration policies are a scam, with little to no customer service. Thanks for this offering, as usual!
Helpful!
Great that you guys have this partnership with AA. Thanks for helping to extend my miles.
hi there! I have to say that this is a pretty amazing service you all offer… 5 AA miles just for making a comment. It’s quite unfair that AA has an expiration date on our hard-earned miles and I really appreciate that you all make it so easy to extend the expiration date, just by making a comment. I will gladly come back, learn from your blog posts, and make more comments 🙂
I appreciate the valuable information you put out and have just registered for your AwardWallet app – I shall be going for the premium version because I believe in paying for products that take effort and deliver value. 🙂
What an awesome option for obtaining AA miles to keep miles from expiring!
I hope this keeps my miles from expiring!
AwardWallet is such a powerful tool as I begin to think about traveling in late 2021. Because of Award Wallet I learned that my advantage miles are expiring, and I wanted to potentially use them on travel….only to fund out the amazing miles deals to go from LA to South Africa. Thanks AwardWallet
This is extremely helpful. Thank you! I was very concerned about losing my miles due to travel restrictions.
So helpful. Thank you.
Wow! I was super worries about losing my miles because I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to travel in July.
Now I’m exploring all the rewards programs here as well! 😛
Thank you folks!
This is a very useful blog, and one that is not just spin. I have always also been a fan of rail blog The Man in Seat 61, and this sort of reminds me of that.
Many thanks
Award Wallet’s discounted flight deals service is amazing! After I connected my American Airlines account to their website it automatically showed me the best flight deals from several nearby airports.
Woah, you guys are awesome! This is practically helpful and such a cool way to encourage engagement. I’ll be honest I didn’t actually realize there was a blog section of Award wallet before I got the email about my AA miles getting close to expiring, but now that I know this is here I am excited to learn more!!
I was very worried about my miles to be expired. This awful pandemic din not let me travel as I use to. I can’t complain since I am healthy but anyways, my vacations were ruined.
I am gladly surprised that American Airlines extended the time for us, the frequent flyers.
I hope this nightmare is over soon so we can all jump in a plane to keep knowing more countries.
Not gonna lie, I thought AW was only good as an app to check miles expiration and such, but now entered the blog and noticed is sooo useful! Still going trough the rabbit holes of info.
Keep it up
Men I miss flying.
Excellent! Just met AwardWallet because of this covid + mileage expiration problem. Very generous of you to solve this problem to every user!! Regards from Brazil
I’ve used Award Wallet for many years as my primary point-tracking app. Love how it automatically collects points from all my airline and hotel accounts. The bonus American Airlines points for commenting are icing on the cake and really helps since my travel is on hold.
Thank you for this info! It is helpful. I can’t wait to use my miles again!
This post is useful and has provided me insight to keep my miles active.
What a fantastic concept you guys have come up with. Many, including myself, have not been traveling because of COVID. I’ve just started receiving emails about points that are about to expire. I would never be able to keep track of all of my various points and loyalty programs without this awesome service. Thanks a ton!
As Juan comments below, great that we can preserve our American Airlines air miles. I usually fly between the Uk and USA a few times a year to work with collaborators on our research. During the Covid-19 lockdown this has sadly come to a complete halt… So I look forward to the day we return to the “new normal” Keep safe everyone!
It’s great information. I was very concerned about losing my miles due to travel restrictions as an essential healthcare worker. Thanks for all the detailed information on mileage programs and deals
Had no idea about this website but someone told me about commenting for 5 points so my points wouldn’t expire. Now I am going to go through this entire site!
This is extremely helpful – thank you! I will recommend to my family and friends. I’m new to using Advantage miles but this will be very helpful in preserving the few I have earned so far. I’ll also be reading further to figure out if an American Airlines credit card is worth it for me.
What a creative an engaging way to strengthen my loyalty and increase my AA Advantage value.
Thank you, AwardWallet, for making this possible. What a great way to keep my miles alive as I haven’t been able to travel with AA for sometime as most of my flights haven’t been in places where I can use AA miles.
It’s really great that you provide customers here an easy way to help extend their mileage expiration. I really appreciate it!
Hi, I’m Juan from Argentina. It is great to know that american airlines miles can be preserved through this site, posting or commenting. Unfortunately, AA’s frequent flyer programs were withdrawn from Santander Bank in Argentina. and it is important to know that one thanks to you, the miles can be kept in addition to knowing and enjoying the services that they offer in awardwallet.
This is a great way to keep your investment on miles earned safe. I was getting worried about the expiration date on my account, specially having in mind that I didn’t have the chance to use an AA credit card.
Hopefully this information will save time and headaches to lots of people.
COVID-19 has impacted all of us, and I find myself changed frequent traveler to a never traveler. Award Wallet has been a godsend in tracking the expiration dates of my programs. Looking forward to herd immunity and resumption of travel.
Interesting and useful
Thank you for sharing how to post on blogs to keep my AA account active. I don’t understand where the blog posts are located and how to find a blog to comment on? AA has been our sole Airline mile for the past 15 years but since Covid, we haven’t flown and worry about loosing our miles. We love AA and have found the upgrades on the web for reserving to be very welcome. We started out when one had to call and make the reservation and now they charge to do it that way!
Any more detailed explanation of where the blogs are located would be appreciated.
Thanks
Carolyn
This is a super helpful way to earn AA points. My account was going to expire soon and this helped me refresh my miles!
This is great but you guys need to advertise this more!
I’ve found this post very useful!! I was looking forward to renovate my American airlines miles before they expires, but travelling right now, unfortunately, is not the best option because of the actual situation. Better wait until things gets better. So I’ve just found out this great way to keep my miles, and not lose them!! To profit for my future trips! Thanks for this information!!!
This is so good of AA and award wallet both!
This is great in every moment but specially during travel restriccion. I’m recomending it to my friends and family.
I appreciate AA extending the cancellation of hard earned Award Miles.
Since the Pandemic back in March 2020 all business travel has been put on hold and all my accounts where I used to visit quarterly are now done remotely.
Hopefully later this year this will change and business will get back to normal.
Withdrawal of AAdvantage cc in the UK gives me an excellent way to keep a points balance alive.
I cannot travel lately because of the pandemic so I’m trying to find the way to extend the expiration of my AAdvantage miles. Thank you so much for the blog.
COVID restrictions are really strict here in Australia. Thanks for offering a way to extend my points. Can’t wait to be travelling again.
My husband advised me to use this page to keep AA from deleting my account, since I’ve not flown in awhile. Thanks for giving we infrequent travelers some options!
Thanks a lot! I was looking for ways to extend the expiration of my AAdvantage miles and I am very happy for finding this post.
This is a great idea and I enjoy all your articles. This helps me as I likely won’t be traveling before July and would hate to throw away all those miles.
I am grateful for the Award Wallet heads up re my expiring miles. That’s lead me here where I’m not researching my options. Obviously the last year’s events have stopped any significant travel plans. That’s all the more reason to be looking ahead to celebrate with some adventure when traveling is safe and allowed again. I want to be sure my miles are the there use!
This is a great way to extend your miles without having to spend a single cent!
This is an awesome benefit of Award Wallet!
I had forgotten about this opportunity and was glad to find it again. This is a great benefit!
I am trying it now, and will come back to see how it works. Thanks for the service!
This website is incredible. Due to covid, I haven’t been traveling. My honeymoon was delayed and I planned to use my points for a couple of round trip tickets! Worried they were going to expire, I found awardwallet to show me how to prevent it from happening. Thanks for saving years of points!!
I’m not sure where I’am flying to with this american airlines miles
More love for the blog post. Big up Award Wallet
It is really annoying that they have miles expire at all. I’m so glad you are here to help!
Thank you for this blog post to help us keep our reward miles intact while our travel plans are on hold!
Thats a great way of helping with extending the Expiration of miles. Thank you
Thank you! Excited to extend out my points
I am so glad to read this post. I have been searching how to extend my American airline miles. Now – I found the best solution!!! Thank you!
Hi I’m very new to this, how do you check to see why a post did not make it to the blog? This is my 2nd attempt and as far as I can see, posts timestamped after mine are on here but mine is missing.
Hi Bhikhu Shah,
Please note that it takes up to 5 business days to get the miles if your comment does get approved and we also have a limit of 5 miles per day. Also, please note that we have a combination of automated and manual approvals in place for commenting on our blog. In a nutshell, we don’t want people gaming the system (I am also not saying that you tried gaming the system either), we are simply looking for more meaningful comments where people share their personal experiences or opinions related to the post. Typically, comments like “Thanks for the heads up”, “Great deal”, “Cool” go to spam automatically (not always though as we tweak the system) because they clutter the discussion without adding value. As I see, your first comment has been already approved.
Like all the information at Award Travel. Great Service.
Love the AwardWallet AAdvantage miles…big help in resetting the 18 month expiration window….Thanks Award Wallet!
A very good public service you are causing to be done by keeping my AA miles from expiring during the pandemic
Thank you Awardwallet
Cheers
Kate Kirwin

This post is very helpful! Thanks for keeping us informed!
this is great – thank you! So easy.
I’ve only just come across your site and I’m usually quite good at finding the good sites, so I’m not sure why it took me so long to find this one. I quite like the way everything is set up and I’m going to give it a go. I have just joined AA because of you so lets see where else I can earn miles. Thanks again and I look forward to many more miles from your advise.
Great way to earn enough AA Miles to prevent expiration.
Thanks
Award Wallet continually impresses me. Fan for life!
Thank you! Excited to extend out my points
I love this service! Allows me to keep my AA miles valid while travel is shutdown.
Well this is exciting news! Definitely going to spread the word on this.
looks like no travel in 2021 also, wish we could have some way to extend our miles of Alaska, Avianca , besides AA.
This is a great service to humanity !!
What an awesome perk!
Another reason to love AwardWallet. Thanks for the offer to help me from losing my AA mileage. Even with lifetime Plat, AA will kill the miles. So, thanks for this great service.
Hello Awardwallet
My family do appreciate the 5 miles for Awardwallet comment which allows us to preserve our respective AA mile balances.
During this pandemic Australian passport holder are not permitted to depart and travel overseas without an exemption (and we wouldn’t want too travel just now – not wanting to cause the introduction of the virus into the country or spread it)
Thank you Awardwallet for the service and the fantastic Awardwallet product.
Stay safe everyone
Cheers
Chris
This is a great way to earn airline miles and extend points expiration. Do you know if there are any similar promotions for hotel rewards points?
Is there a minimum number of posts/comments you need to reach in order to receive the 5 bonus AAdvantage miles, or does a single comment suffice? Thanks!
Thank you for this new meassure to extend miles expiration! I love flying with American Airlines!
Thank you Award Wallet!
Thank you Award Wallet for simplifying reward travel!
After researching ways to extend my mileage expiration during COVID / limited travel, I have found this to be the best & easiest path to extend mileage expiration that requires only 1-2 minutes to sign up and 1-2 minutes to enter a thoughtful comment on a blog. Thank you AwardWallet!
Seems like an good way to prevent miles from expiring.
Not sure it worked, so trying again.
I loved being able to use my American AAdvantage miles on Qatar to fly to Africa! Thanks AA!
This site is a life saver. Given the pandemic, I was very concerned my miles would expire before I could use them. Thank you AwardWallet!
I wasn’t sure when my AA miles would expire. Thank you for neatly explaining this.
thank you for this.
I like to fly American.
The fact I can keep all my accounts together and have all my information in one place is so handy . Thanks AwardWallet. This is one of the most brilliant apps out there .
Pretty easy to set up. Great way to extend my miles.
Traveling has been placed on hold during the pandemic. Excited to extend out my AA points. Hoping to fly again soon!
This is such an amazing way to extend points expiration time! Now in these times it is very hard to generate other activity on the account otherwise, so at least keeps the points alive til the next time I can travel!
This is truly a great way to extend our AA miles, so thank you! However, one of my posts was credited but another post a full day later was not. Hopefully this one goes through. Thanks again!
Prorrogar el vencimiento de las millas es una muy buena noticia de American.
Love AwardWallet! ❤️
Thank you, AA for the bonus miles!
Thanks a lot!
Do you anticipate the normal bonuses for the Citi AA cards this year? With all the changes in travel due to covid Will there be changes in card bonuses? Thanks 🙏.
Thanks for the miles!
I travel extensively and AwardWallet is an awesome way to keep track of the many points plans in which I participate. With the ongoing pandemic, it’s very difficult to keep track of expiration polices, and the info one can get here simplifies the process of managing the points considerably. Thanks!
Just found this great website and signed up immediately. In these crazy COVID times it is great to have websites like AwardWallet to get useful and up-to-date information. The AA award mile feature is also great.
❤️ Love AwardWallet!
So Easy to see all the changes and updates!!
Thank you, AA for the bonus miles!
Thanks a lot!
My miles are set to expire tomorrow, I’ve been unfortunately neglecting my email but I finally spent some time sifting through my inbox and got an alert from AwardWallet. Seems like I’ll be safe since they’ve paused actual point expiration through June 30, 2021 and I’ll be able to generate some acccount movement in the meantime. But but this is exactly why I love AwardWallet and recommend to my friends! Thanks!
After you leave a comment, typically how long does it take for the miles to post on your account?
Miles will post within 5 business days of your comment being approved.
Thanks for doing this, glad to see it continuing in the new year!
So excited to extend out my AA points, thank you!
Whoa, you can earn miles for engaging with American Airlines posts? That’s really cool.
I am thrilled that I found this simple way to keep my miles during this time. Thank you, AA.
I really appreciate this as miles would expire before I can travel again. Wish AA would end expiration like many other airlines have done.
This is a great idea!! Thanks a lot!
This is a great idea from award wallet. Looking forward to the day when AA finally follows Delta, United, JetBlue, Southwest, etc and stops expiring miles, but until then, this is a great idea from Award Wallet – thanks!
This is such an easy way to keep my points active and share great travel tips with fellow frequent flyers. Thanks so much AA!!
Such a great idea and helpful for when they do start expiring again. I wasnt paying attention and had all Choice pts expire on me. missed it by one day. I wrote and asked for reinstatement and was denied. Bummer.
Award Wallet was an incredibly useful tool and this added feature makes it even more useful! Thank you Award Wallet.
Not gonna lie, this is how I found out about this website. With that disclaimer though, the staff here puts out the best guides with most in-depth information out there. Kudos to you all! Thank you.
Thank you awardwallet, this helps to keep my miles alive!
While I love that I can keep my AA miles alive by commenting on posts, I wish there were other accounts I could similarly keep alive by having comments count towards account activity. Is it possible to open up these discussions to other airlines? Maybe even branch out into hotels and rental cars?
Thanks for this great new feature. I’ve been using awardwallet for years!!!
This is a wonderful way to get a few miles for an account. I know what a hard time it has been AA the past year and we also are looking forward to traveling again. Thank you AA
Thank you for helping to keep my AA miles alive! My husband just joined AwardWallet to make sure we never lose a mile or point again.
Thank you Award Wallet and American Airlines for this gesture. These 5 pts will help keep my points until I can travel on AA again.
All my travel in 2020 was cancelled so I was at risk of losing my AA points due to the 18 month expiration policy. These 5 pts are a wonderful way to keep my points until I can travel on AA again.
award wallet is amazing in keeping my miles alive while I’m no traveling during this pandemic
I’m very grateful for this feature of this blog. Thanks for helping us keep our miles from expiring!
After being an AAdvantage member for over 30 years, I just learned of this blog. Wish I learned of it sooner as it contains some great information. In case you haven’t read it, there’s an informative article on How to Get Elite Hotel Status for (almost) Free. It covers the hotels most business people including me travel stay during travel: Hyatt, Hilton, Marriott and Radisson.
Can’t believe I haven’t been taking advantage of this!
I have always found your site to be among the most informative when it comes to maximizing value for travel. Thank you for providing this easy way to preserve our miles. It’s a much better alternative to ordering a magazine subscription. Here’s to resuming travel adventures in the new year!
thanks for this great perk!
Thanks so much for offering this! I’ve been having a hard time figuring out when miles expire, and it looks like Mags for Miles doesn’t exist any more for AAdvantage, so this is very very helpful.
Award Waller has several times helped me score great deals, through information published on your site. Thank you so much!
Although this is a common practice within this blog since at least two years, in current context, this adds a lot of value for those customers that do not earn miles through purchases made with an affiliated credit card.
Just a tip; if not planning to use miles anytimes soon and are not that much, please consider donating them to charity!
thank you, my mileage is expiring, like this service.
AwardWallet has been a valuable resource for many years now. I hope the little bonus for blog comments stays around for a long time!
This is great very helpful, thank you awardwallet!
Very useful information. Good to have it consolitated in one site!
Nice miles reward specially in the middle of a pandemic.
I have to say I have already know about this for some time like a year , but I am not sure but Awardwallet is probably the only website on the internet that gives you miles to comment on post and that is cool.
AA should definitely have a total rethink of its mileage expiration policy in response to the unprecedented situation.
Good way to keep miles valid and also to earn some spare miles.
Moreover, I found the blog very interesting!
Happy new year!
this is very helpful, thank you awardwallet!
I began using Award Wallet when I got started in the miles biz a few years ago. Nice tools, fun to see my balance growing. But just recently I’ve seen the real value of this site. As fees have come due and points are close to expiring, Award Wallet notifies me. How cool is that?! Definitely considering the upgrade. Thanks for all you do and for this handy little AA bonus.
BTW, I only remembered my AA points were close to expiring because AW emailed me! And now here they are, solving the problem. Thanks guys.
Nice value add (points for commen
This has been a great gesture by Award Wallet and I have to say that some of the comments have been quite thoughtful and insightful that add a lot to the blog posts. Looking forward to another great year!
First I appreciate that you do award AA miles, second I appreciate the reminder in this post regarding the rules and requirements. While most of my posts have been approved and miles have been added to my account, I cann’t say that each post has added something to the conversation in order to generate miles. Hope to continue to see more useful posts to comment on each day and am looking forward to a post analyizing today’s news regarding a new AA miles sale.
Thanks!!!
Great program and nice gesture! Thanks!
Loved the flight to Hawaii! Thanks for this program!
Thanks for this!
Best deal around !
Thank you for providing this feature. The miles may be worth only a few pennies, but they have much more value in extending the expiry date of existing miles in the account.
Congratulation to AA for this gesture. I wish I could travel more with you. Too bad you don’t have domestic flights in Brasil.
Realy interesting blog with lot of useful Information.
Mu first time commenting and despite I am somehow skeptical regarding this kind of deals to extend milles expiration date… here I am
I have just signed up for AwardWallet about 2 weeks ago .. and this is probably one of the most brilliant apps out . It made me realise to start signing up for rewards programs and to actually keep track of what I am doing as I travel a lot . This is the 1st time I actually can start to look at ever with a bigger picture as I was just throwing miles away I never knew I could have . So this is also brilliant that you are offering American airline points for leaving a comment , esp during a pandemic when it’s harder to earn points. Honestly this app is wonderful. So thank you 😊
I am surprised that many on here are still NOT aware of this great perk.
This is so cool!
Just found out about the bonus miles for commenting. Think it’s a great idea.
Here I am, doing my best…
This is a good way to extend the expiration of american airline miles. I wish they just follow the other airlines and get rid of the expiration all together. Can you also allow earning of points in other programs like the hotel loyalty programs so we can extend the expiration of hotel programs.
Your blogs are very interesting and this is the easiest way to keep my American airline miles from expiring.
AwardWallet recently issued 5 AA miles into my partner’s account which helped us save 55K AA Miles. With us temporarily living in London, it has become increasingly difficult to earn any new AA Miles. The only co-branded card (Citi) won’t allow us to keep their cards while you live outside of the States! So really the only way to keep our miles active was by getting the 5 miles credit from AwardWallet and it is really appreciated.
I now hope I can also get 5 AA Miles added to my AA Account and save my miles from expiring.
As always, thanks a ton.
This is a really helpful tip from Award Wallet as this has prevented my miles from expiring.
I have appreciated the points for making a comment on this blog for a long time. It’s a great incentive but also helps make this one of the most useful points and miles blogs to follow. Other readers often provide valuable hints about points and miles earning. It also helps that these blog articles are some of the most polished and professional of all the points and mikes blogs. Please keep up the high writing standard. I think that many readers appreciate it.
Can’t wait to fly again!
This idea of leaving comments to AA and the public when reading blogs and earning miles makes lots of sense. It’s a win/win for both sides of the conversation. Hopefully AA doesn’t attempt to edit negative comments that are a true picture of an issue
That’s exactly what I have been doing on a daily basis since it came to my attention about this offer.
Besides, I keep myself informed about several interesting topics I hadn’t paid attention before.
Thumbs up for both AAdvantage and Award Wallet Blog.
Will you be continuing this promotion in 2021? I’ll admit I only began reading your blog due to this promotion, but have gotten some good information from it over the course of the year. Always nice to get a little bump though :). Happy New Year to all!
Before I had Bask Bank I really enjoyed the ability to comment for AA miles. It’s a good program. wish you had support for other carriers too!
if only AA would get with the times, and cease having an expiration date at all! (but thank you guys! for helping out)
Thanks for keeping our AA miles alive!
Thank you very much to everyone at Award Wallet for building this excellent website! Happy new year!!
This is an interesting concept. Will we get reminders or topics in our email upon which to comment?
What a brilliant marketing strategy to add value, monitor trolls, and help people during a pandemic! Well done for raising the bar.
easy miles!
Thank you so much for allowing us to comment and at the same time be rewarded with Aadvantage miles. This is a win-win situation!
This is a great new feature!!!!
Thanks for the free AA miles!
Thank you for extending the expiration date of our miles. I’ve been using American Airlines and your Partner Airlines for years! Because of the pandemic, my yearly trip to Europe was canceled. I try to use AA, or a Partner to book my flights. I hope in 2021 or 2022 I will have the freedom to fly anywhere. Appreciate your company and your employees~
In an otherwise crappy year, this is a happy (and surprising) way to end 2020…
Thanks!
Love this site.
Much appreciated, thanks! Still cannot believe that American still does expiring miles, even United finally gave up on that.
Great way to earn a few extra miles. I like Award Wallet because I only have to go 1 place to keep up with all my points.
Nice of AA to postpone mileage expiration but I wish they would allow carry over of the miles accumulated in 2020 to 2021 like other airlines, not just Oct-Dec.
I am so grateful for ya’ll doing this! It has saved me several times. Even when I noticed I maybe haven’t gotten anything all of the backed ones pop in. I cannot believe you read all of them. Sometimes I see quite a few. I usually keep this for mine and my husband’s accounts since the other two are my kids accounts and since they are under 18 American supposedly they don’t have an expiration date. I hope this is true, I read it but who truly knows with American.
Thanks for keeping my AAdvantage miles alive!
Great idea! I’d like to see if you can extend it to other programs. United and Delta don’t expire, but I have 127k Avianca miles expiring in January unless I book something or extend them by transferring from AMEX.
This is a great way of extending AA miles – particularly for those of us who have not flown this year or purchased miles until needed. I have used it a few times. Thank you! 👍 Happy New Year 2021 to all – a better year in every way.
Im flying soon with AA so I’m glad my miles didn’t expire, honestly I haven’t even checked. So thank you for this!
American changes my seat assignment more than 50 percent of the time.
I think is great not having to worry about expiring miles, on top if everything we have to worry these days
I think this is great, but how long does it take for the 5 AAdvantge miles to post? I had a comment accepted 12/21, or 10 days ago, and nothing yet.
I appreciate AA helping out customers by pushing back expiry dates, especially as airlines are really struggling and one way to save money would be to not have to give free flights to people whose FF miles have expired.
My concern is that if travel restrictions (especially international travel) continue beyond mid-2021, which is very possible, this won’t really help.
For example, my 20 years-worth of FF miles expire in mid-June, but I have been unable for almost a year to book an award flight (I currently live outside the US). Postponing my expiry date from mid-June to July 1st doesn’t really help if I am still unable to book international flight before then.
we thank you for great articles!
Always good to push the extension of miles, especially with Covid right now preventing travel.
Awesome feature – I will be sure to take advantage of this in the future. It really helps drives the engagement.
This is super easy to do.
Award Wallet has been a great asset to me this past year, and this gesture is a wonderful New Year’s gift. Keep up the good work and stay safe as we move through this period into a new and hopefully smarter and healthier one.
Really nice gesture, especially during pandemic times, when it is not easy to travel. I always liked the AAdvantage program, and this kind of option to make the miles NOT expire, just makes it even better. Really appreciate.
You always find new ways to add value.
I’m hoping leaving a comment still works to save your miles. I don’t want to travel during the Pandemic, but I also don’t want to lose my miles.
This site has been a wonderful way to keep track and save my miles.
THanks
Thought my miles were expiring, so I’m grateful for this information. While I’m glad for the extension, i feel it would be more realistic to extend them until a little later in the year, when more people will be able to get vaccinated.
This is great information. Many thanks!
Thanks for this information. My AA points are expiring next July and currently I live in UK and makes it a bit difficult to earn new AA points, All my Citi AA cards are temporarily stopped since CITI mandates a US residential mailing address! So looking forward to receiving the 5 AA miles from Award Wallet so that I can reset the expiration of my valuable AA miles.
Really appreciate this.
First off, I didnt know you had a blog. Stupid me! Second, I cant find this specific article on the blog unless its via external referral. Thats,.. odd.
before this, my Aa miles expired on January 2021. I was keeping them to use them these holidays, but the pandemic screwed up everything. It’s a relief that the expiration date changed, and that I can also keep my AA account active with AW.
Excellent site! Thanks for helping me keep my AA miles going… All best for 2021
With everything we have experienced with Covid in 2020 – and the subsequent lack of flying – this sort of blogpost is hugely helpful in ensuring that previously earnt miles don’t expire. Thanks guys,
I’m glad miles are valid till 20210630 but might as well extend the expiration while I’m here. Thanks for this mile-saver!
Award Wallet was super helpful in reminding me my points were about to expire and showed me an amazing solution. I cant fly during the pandemic, but I am looking forward to hopping on a plane as soon as I can with my AA points
I already loved awardwallet.com. Being able to earn a few AA miles to keep miles from expiring makes me love it even more.
Good thing I checked here; my AA points were expiring soon!
The more I go through the award wallet site, the more I know about benefits I never knew existed
I have a handful of miles (15K) with AA Advantage that are set to expire on 1/4/2021. That’s not a lot of miles, but I’d like to keep them since I plan to sign up for a bonus CC soon, and every mile counts when its time to redeem. So, I was scrambling to find a way to earn a few miles to extend my expiration date buy 18 months. AwardWallet to the rescue! By posting to this blog, I earn 5 AA miles. But, what’s even better, is that AwardWallet provided notification that AA had postponed my expiration date until 7/1/2021. Thus, the bottom line is that I didn’t have to do this post today, but I decided to do so anyway to say “Thank You AwardWallet” for all of the great info and tools that you provide. I’ve used your service for several years now, and I truly appreciate it. Thanks!
This is pretty cool.
I was actually afraid of my AA points expiring, so this was a pretty neat way of retaining my points.
Thanks AW!
I’ve never had an issue of my miles expiring before, in the 10+ years I’ve been collecting frequent flyer miles … I guess that’s covid for you! Thank you for this information and for providing us this way to ensure our miles don’t expire. I’m really grateful.
Would this work for a family of six?
Sure, as long as you have all six AA accounts connected to AwardWallet. Each time you submit a comment, it will ask you which account you want the miles credited to. Just remember that it’s a max of 5 miles per 24-hour period, so you’ll need to space comments out over six days to credit a bonus to all the accounts.
This is an extremely useful benefit to keep AA accounts active, especially during the pandemic when most people aren’t able to fly safely. Thank you for doing this!
Who knew it would take such emergency to make this perk invaluable?
Hey, thanks for this. It’s really helpful since I was still not sure if I should go ahead and buy tickets for next year. I had to postpone a trip this year with the COVID situation being what it is, and next year is looking iffy too. But hopefully we’ll be able to return to the air sometime soon (fingers crossed)!
Thanks as always for keeping your readers up to date on how to make sure our miles don’t expire! With covid throwing off so many travel plans, it’s great to know there’s other opportunities to reset the mileage expiration dates.
Nifty little way to keep that AA account active. Thanks so much!
This was so helpful for helping me realize how to keep my points from expiring after my travel decreased dramatically in 2020. Thank you!
I was not aware of this. Thanks for the heads up.
Great info. Looking forward to reading more and using my miles in the upcoming year, hopefully.
Nice service to help folks keep miles active. AA is also giving away 100 miles if you register for a promotion to take a couple flights by February, check your inboxes. Not sure if those 100 miles count as ‘activity’… (they probably do but posting this here just in case)
if you’re taking a flight regardless of a promo it will be counted as activity 🙂
Great way to give an oportunity to prevent miles to expire, this pandemic days has made it dificult to travel and maintain your status
This is great information, thank you so much!
That’s a great gesture on American Airlines part and really appreciated.
That’s great news for AAdvantage users!
Thank you for providing this helpful information about American miles! I would have lost them and that would suck.
Thank you for providing this helpful information about American miles!
This is awesome. I live abroad and did not use my credit card from a large US bańk for a long time. So it was deactivated and with the pandemic the flights here are blocked. Thanks for the opportunity to extend the validity of my miles.
This detailed information posted in your blog is extremely valuable. Unfortunately, I hold a gold AAdvantage card… Is it possible to get this kind of bonuses for ‘conventional’ cardholders as well? If so, please do not let us down and post said offers from time to time!
How fortunate for me that I signed up for Award Wallet. I appreciate the expiry reminder as I may have lost my points otherwise. This is a busy time of year. It immediately prompted me to action to keep my points from expiring with this simple method of commenting. Award Wallet also invited me to add my other rewards cards which prompted me to check their expiry dates as well. Thank you!
I received an email that said my American Airlines miles would soon expire. Checking on AwardWallet, I found ways to extend the mileage expiration date. The way that fit my need was simply to post a comment on any AwardWallet Blog and then receive 5 AA miles. This addition of 5 miles to my AA account suffices for activity required to get an 18 month extension on the miles in my AA account. This is an excellent solution during the Covid pandemic as flying may not be an option.
The Award wallet site is OUTSTANDING for credit card and mileage tips. Highly recommended.
easy way to extend miles
Wow! The end of year reminders were very helpful to me.
This is a great way to extend your AA miles for free. Definitely recommend.
I’m grateful that you have provided this simple way to extend the expiration date of my AAdvantage miles.
I signed up for AwardWallet a while back but stopped checking it. This blog post brought me back into the fold. Thanks for adding this great feature!
Appreciate this offer – it’s sometimes hard to keep a young kid’s account active who doesn’t fly as much as his parents! Especially in the middle of a global pandemic.
Wow this is super helpful! Would love to find a similar hack for Alaska which it seems expires after 2 years of inactivity….
Thanks for this program, it’s very helpful!
This is VERY helpful. I had no idea that my miles were about to expire – figured for sure that the airlines would understand some reluctance (inability?) to fly somewhere! Now I need to check other airline programs as well.
Thanks for this!
Highly appreciate this. Have been a member for many years. Thanks.
this is a great help and is much appreciated – as a tip to other readers though-there is some great info on the blogs here-so ck them out for flying tips!
Thanks for such a great idea AwardWallet. I hope you can extend this kind of account saving idea to another hotel or travel programs.
Well done.
Great site- just saved me from losing a bunch of expiring miles!
Hi.
Thank you for providing such a great resource of information.
Keep it up!
Mi regalo de la promoción de Navidad han sido 100 millas. No es gran botín pero algo es. Además espero que sirva para aumentar la caducidad otros 18 meses. Y si todo mejora, espero viajar en el 2021.
Happy to find this blog with relevant and updated information! With the lock down I was unable to won new points and with the dollar rising (in BR) it is almost impossible to buy new miles unless you earn by partners or trips!l
Thanks a lot for sharing!
Thanks you. Great service using for years
Well what a great site, keeps all my information secure & I can now monitor when any accounts have expiring points, now to add all of my others.
For UK residents too which is a bonus!
Keeping AA miles, what a great idea!
Wow, points almost expired – this is a great way to keep them!
Very useful and timely info.
Wow how cool is this! Such a nice way to give back and help us not have points expire! Thanks for giving back
Thanks so much for the great tips! Please keep it up. Your blog is super helpful!
AwardWallet has proved invaluable in these unprecedented times. Thanks for staying on top of our valuable airlines miles and their expiration dates. This service is worth it’s weight in gold- err- MILES!
Great to have this way to keep my AA miles active, after this year of Covid, I can’t wait until I can travel again.
Wow, didnt know this was even possible. Let me try if it works with this comment.
Super helpful info. Despite seven years of focused pursuit of miles and points, I didn’t know this excellent extension technique, and it’s super timely as both my wife and I have AA miles expiring in early 2021.
Hi there! Thanks for this post! You rock.
Where should I comment in order to earn the 5 miles for AA?
Could you please provide me with the URL where I should post my comment.
Thanks a lot
Best regards
I love that award wallet keeps track of this and has ideas on how to help with issues that arise. Extremely helpful! Thanks.
Thank you AwardWallet – THE BLOG. Your email notifications have saved me tons of miles. I am great at earning miles … not so good at managing/using them. It is time to educate myself!
This has come in handy. Thanks for the reminder.
I expect bonus miles for aproved comments since 11/25 and I don’t received this yet. Is there any problem with the AA miles? Mi miles expiration date is 12/6. I hope that the delay may be resolved soon!
Miles will post within 5 business days of your comment being approved. If you have miles that have expired or are expected to expire within 5 business days we highly recommend you look at alternative means to keep your miles alive. Purchasing miles is the fastest way we’ve seen.
I have approved comments from 11/25 and I don’t received any 5 miles bonus yet, my husband is in the same situation. What happened now?
You should receive your miles soon.
This is a great blog for getting those extra points in your account.
Thanks for this blog. Being able to use this method to top up my AA account is extremely helpful. Soo much great info on this site.
Thanks for your work!
Thanks to this blog i have the possibility of kepping mu AA miles, due to the pandemic i habe not been able to update them and buying miles is very expensive, i will fallow instructions about the bank account to make thing easier
Thank you so much for making it possible to extend the expiration date of my AA miles. My dad is an EXP on AA and I hope to get to that level sometime during my lifetime as well!
phew almost expired.
as always, enjoy reading your blog. Thanks for the comments trick
wow. Thanks for making this post. Was looking hard on how to get around my expiration day in February lol
Thanks for keeping us all up-to-date on all things Mileage/Rewards programs. There is no other site I turn to more for updates in the passenger airline industry, specifically for AAdvantage program questions!
Award Wallet has been incredibly helpful over the years. It’s TOTALLY been worth upgrading to plus. I really wish United Airlines would get their act together and allow you guys to support them. Even without them though, it’s totally worth it. You guys rock.
Wow, thanks for having this option! I guess I’ll be checking the blog a little more frequently 🙂 (actually I didn’t even know there was a blog until this!)
Thanks for providing an easy way to make sure my miles don’t expire and it’s even Free! Praying the Award Wallet team has a blessed day as you press forward in these tough days. And……….there is a bright future!
Blessings………..Mike
this blog and comment policy is a great way to extend your expiring miles. i appreciate the 5 miles offered for a comment. preserving my miles will be great once the pandemic ends and i can again fly safely and without worry. thanks.
Well I’m very happy to discover this site, and a bonus that it’s available to UK residents too – Thank you! Now to go & gather all my other dusty reward & loyalty cards including my supermarket ones to add to my account, this is going to make things much easier, no more losing expired points or miles.
So given our current pandemic situation…what is AA doing about mileage expiration dates?
i have 30,000 AA miles. thanks for helping me keeping them.
I have miles near the expiration date. This promotion to 5 miles for comments is actually in function?
Yes I need to give more life to my AA miles. This post is really useful. Thanks AwardWallet!
I had a comment approved on Nov 18. Today is Nov 29 and I haven’t seen any points yet. I don’t recall seeing the pop-up above, so maybe I did something wrong, so I’m trying again. Should I see the in my AwardWallet balance or my AA account website or both? This is really helpful.
You should receive miles soon!
This small action is making great impact during the pandemic!
During this pandemic time is easy to forget the expiration time of our AA miles. The 5 miles bonus is actually active? Can I use this now? Can I extend this to my wife miles too?
Cuando un comentario es publicado debemos contar o esperar hasta cinco días hábiles para la renovación de las millas de AA.¿Puede ser que haya demoras para esto?
Thanks! This is a great way to extend AA miles from expiring.
I’ll also definitely look into the Bask Bank savings account mentioned in this article — it looks like they currently have a promo where you get 1000 miles for depositing $5000.
Wasn’t sure what to do to keep miles extended during this period of not flying. Thanks for this easy solution!
This is such a great service! I rarely fly AA but accumulated quite a bit of AA miles thru CCs so keeping the account active is a pain. Appreciate your help in all this.
Yes, AwardWallet is truly a good thing. This is very convenient, especially in these difficult times when the coronavirus is raging ..
American is using its usual tough stance about everything even during the pandemic. Mileage expiration is no exception. I think that if they don’t become more customer focused when this period ends it will certainly hurt them. I’m looking forward to a change.
Love it. Many thanks for doing this. Been using Awardwallet for many years 100% recommended.
This is incredible. Thanks for the bonus points!
This is a very useful post. Especially at this time when we cannot use the flight easily as before. Thanks for making this available
awardwallet keeping AA points alive!
Love it. Many thanks for doing this. Awardwallet 100% recommended
I don’t know how you guys pull this off but this is an invaluable service considering AA thinks they’re too good to keep my miles from expiring — I rarely fly AA but have just enough miles that I don’t want to throw them away!
Happy to help 🙂
Thanks a ton for making this available. Huge win during Covid for keeping miles alive. TY!
I just received an email from Award Wallet letting me know that my husband’s American Advantage miles will be expiring soon. Thank you. However, when I went to your blog post, I saw that AA mileage will not expire until July of next year. Am I right to assume that you are and have no plans to make a wholesale update on our accounts to reflect such changes. I get it if you aren’t.
As per our agreement with American Airlines, we have a direct integration with them, meaning that we are not accessing your data from their website instead we connect directly to their database via API call. So, this date we get via API. I would recommend you to login to your AAdvantage account and check your expiration date.
Recently started managing my own miles now that I’m a young adult and leaving a comment on this blog was such an easy way to relieve my anxiety about my soon to expire miles. Thanks for all the tips!
Thanks for keeping my AAdvantage points alive!
I wholeheartedly concur! This is another win from AwardWallet. Thank for a really great way to keep AA miles from expiring when usual routes are largely unavailable during this pandemic.
Not only the best tool to keep track of my points but a helpful way to avoid your AAdvantage miles from expiration. Thank you AwardWallet!
Agree with Megan below; I really, really would have thought that they would have extended the expiration deadline. No way am I getting on a plane without a vaccine first, and that isn’t coming before my points expire next month.
This is super helpful. I’m planning a trip to Asia so I want to use my AA miles again as they are so flexible. I once managed to use them to get Etihad first class on their A380 – that was something special!
Thank you AwardWallet for providing this very helpful way to extend our miles expiration and for always providing such useful information.
Thanks for the updated AA points so helpful at this time!
I really wish they would have extended the expiration deadline even longer this year as it’s still not really a great time to fly (in my opinion).
Losing American Airlines points due to inactivity during a pandemic is frustrating, but to just be able to hit the AwardWallet.com/blog and enter a comment to get 5 AA points and reset the clock is great information. No cost, great website to have access to.
Happy to help, Dan. Thanks for reading!
Thank you very much for the helpful information!
I came here thinking I’d need to buy a magazine subscription or something like that to keep my points active, and you provided a nice alternative. This is helpful.
Thanks for the great posting!
Thanks for all the information, Award Wallet! My favorite pieces have been advice on how to keep your miles from expiring and bank account bonuses.
Greetings All and Thank you AwardWallet. This is actually great 🙂
This is great! My miles are about to expire in a month and this is a great saver . I will give it a try and let every one know if this works or not!
Award Wallet is awesome. THIS PAGE itself is super helpful Thanks guys!! You’re the bees’ knees!
This is awesome, thanks for this AwardWallet. The best!
Its great to know that AwardWallet has a nice list of ways to extend AA miles. very helpful post.
I track all our my family’s AAdvantage accounts through AwardWallet and have to say that being able to leave a comment here and reset the clock on miles is the absolute easiest way to make sure they don’t expire. I love this feature!
This is awesome, thanks for doing this AwardWallet.
Would like to add other way to earn AA miles. Recently, I received a mail from PickNRG, stating that I can using their electricity and nature gas service to get sign up bonus. The sign up bonus is 10,000 AA miles for signing up electricity account, and 2,500 AA miles for signing up nature gas account. Plus, they give 2 AA miles for each dollar you spend on your NRG account. They offer rates lower than current supplier. It sound like a good deal to me. Not sure if anyone in the community has already signed up. Would love to hear some DPs on this.
Thank you for offering AA miles for comments. It is great to engage in the conversation and keep miles from expiration.
Thank you for forwarding this deal. We have not heard of energy account deals for ages.
This is great! Cant fly because of Covid and thanks to Award Wallet for keeping my miles from expiring!
Reading this post has been really great for me, didn’t know that you could extend AA miles expiry using this method, really helpful!
thank you! this is life saver!
Thank you for providing such great information. Happy upon hearing the extension news as well.
AwardWallet has been an invaluable tool to help me keep track of my points. I am enrolled in many points programs and AwardWallet has helped me keep track of my points and my expiration dates so I never risk losing points due to exiprations.
My wife’s large amount of miles were expiring soon. I thought she was safe as AA extended expiring miles through 12./31/20, but then another look and I realized her miles expired in early January so they were not going to be extended by AA. A quick search told me my Award Wallet account could help by earning 5 AA miles for a blog comment. Yet another way AW is adding value for me! Thanks.
Award Wallet is so helpful in these stressful times. There are so many things happening in the world now and Award Wallet takes away the stress of worrying when my miles, points and free nights at the hotel chains and airlines expire.
I’m so glad to hear that AA is extending mileage expiration another 6 months. My miles had expired just before the previous extension thru Dec 2020 and fortunately, got automatically reinstated. I wish they would do away with mileage expiration like many other airlines.
I am so grateful to have found this blogpost! My miles are about to expire and now I realize Award Wallet does more than just track my miles and points, I actually can get great information as well which will help me not lose money!
This was super helpful for my miles that will be expiring soon. I was hoping another extension would be honored with the pandemic still raging.
If you comment, how many days does it take to receive confirmation that your post was approved?
We do not send confirmations when your comments are approved. Miles will post within 5 business days of your comment being approved.
It is very good news that AA is waiving award booking fees and extending the miles expiry to 30 June 2021. Could we look forward to a never expiring award miles policy like United.
Thank you AW for helping us extend AA miles expiration!
I am very impressed with this initiative that helps keeping my miles from expiring
Thank you Awardwallet
Thankyou for highlighting that AA have extended the expiration date. Great news.
This is great, esp. since AA hasn’t eliminated expiration unlike many peers.
I had planned a trip this fall that I recently cancelled. I am banking my miles in hopes of travel next fall. I had previously bought a magazine subscription if my miles were expiring. I did not know about the Bask account and am going to explore that option.
This is so great. My miles are about to expire, this saves me! I’ll be commenting daily if this works as indicated.
Thank you Awardwallet for keeping us informed about all things points and travel.
I am early adopter and a big fan of Awardwallet.
Cheers

Thanks Chris!
Well, like so many people my flights have decreased because of Covid. As I don’t live in the US it’s very hard to earn AA miles without flying. I’m very grateful Award Wallet has this feature. Stay safe, everyone.
I just visited your site and have had to cancel my trip due to changes made and Covid and now need a way to maintain my points before they expire. I appreciate the information your blog assisted in keeping these hard earned points.
This is the best place to earn few american airline miles to extend your mileage expiration date! this is great.
I just started using awards wallet and it is excellent for keeping track of my points and to find out some of the ways to save my American points. American Airlines should get rid of miles expirations like the other main Airlines.
Have been using AwardWallet for many years. Hands down , the best way to track hotel and airline miles & expiry dates.
AwardWallet is a great service. Wish American Airlines would follow the lead of other airlines and get rid of miles expirations.
What a relief! With Covid, I was panicking about booking a flight before my miles expired. A fellow AwardWallet member suggested I look into your site. Thank you so much for this support in tracking miles!
Glad to see AwardWallet has a nice list of ways to extend AA miles. Great post. Thanks for this!
I have been using AwardWallet for almost 5 years and you have been very reliable in providing updates to me about my miles and accounts. But I have to say this is one of the most valuable benefits of the service. I have 115k AAdvantage miles set to expire next week and I would have forgotten about them if not for AwardWallet. COVID has left many of us with accounts that aren’t used as frequently as they used to be. Thank you and keep up the great work!
American is possibly my favorite airline, convenient flights nearby at Asheville with excellent connections through Charlotte.
Their aircraft are always clean & well kept.
this is the best way to extend miles when you can not travel…
AwardWallet should promote this better. This is worth the annual fee.
Amazing!
Award Wallet is simply amazing. Ihas become an essential tool helping me stay on top of upcoming mileage and point expirations. Without it I would have lost a countless number of points. Future vacations secured!
As I live in the UK I have been scratching my head and browsing the internet and could not find anywhere, apart from buying AA air miles, renting an unwanted car or staying in hotel I don’t want to go to, all to stop all my AA air miles expiring !
This could be a life ( well air miles ) safer. Pity we cant take out a Credit card link to Advantage anymore in the UK or Europe as a whole 🙁
Está muy bien que en estos momentos, que es bastante complicado viajar a otros países se pueda prorrogar la expiración de las millas de esta forma tan sencilla. Gracias, y esperemos que todo esto pase lo antes posible para reanudar nuestros viajes turísticos
I don’t own any AAdvantage earning credit cards yet so thank you AwardWallet for keeping my points balance alive!
This sounds awesome. American Airlines Advantage miles expire 18 months from the date of last activity. They put a temporary hold on expiring miles until December 31, 2019. All other major U.S. airlines have changed to making their frequent flyer miles to never expire. Is American considering of doing the same?
I really hope AA can follow other airlines’ practice and remove the mileage expiration date. In the meantime, I have to say that “Earn Bonus Miles For Commenting” is exemely helpful in this “pandemic era”!
This is awesome – been using AwardWallet for a while and it’s been invaluable. I have some AA miles expiring soon so this is perfect.
I’m hoping this option for extending AA expiration will be around for a long time. Since most of my flights are via their miles, it is hard for me keep them alive. But this community here is what keeps me going!
Love this to help me manage my awards!
this is the best way to extend miles.
This is fantastic, just discovered that we can extend our AA miles by posting a comment here. Gone are the days of purchasing magazine subscriptions we don’t want in order to extend AA miles.
My question is how long does it take to post the miles? Thanks in advance!
I hope AwardWallet promotes this widely–I had no idea until I read DoC. Great way to increase engagement and earn a few miles each day.
Thanks so much for this. Its a great way to extend my points expiration date!
Thank you for doing this! I think this is the easiest (and cheapest) way to prevent miles from expiring in any award program. Also a great way to keep the community involved.
I love AwardWallet! So helpful! Amazing website and app – keep track of everything for me and reminds me when points are about to expire.
I really appreciate Award Wallet for being able to keep track of the myriad points and miles programs with which I have accounts… thanks so much!
Thanks for this feature AwardWallet! My AA miles are nearing expiration, and this will help me keep reset the clock.
I appreciate all that you do, one of my apps!
I’ve been a member of AW for many years. I always purchase the upgraded version; well worth it.
This is a great way to keep expiring miles alive. Thank you so much!
How come mileage expiration is not being extended by AA?
I hate the idea of expiring miles it’s super very annoying an anti-consumer. Thank you AwardWallet for allowing us to earn AA miles by commenting on this blog.
Love award wallet for keeping track of my numerous accounts and expiration dates!
Thanks for the miles
This is great partnership with award wallet and American airlines. Award wallet has provided me with some great credit card and flight recommendations over the years and I look forward to many more.
I am so glad I found this post. I just received a reminder email from Award Wallet that my AA miles are set to expire in one month.
I love Award Wallet! Having to keep track of 6 people in the family was next to impossible until I found you! I pay extra for the upgrade and it is definately worth it. I thought I knew it all but then just found out that I can extend the expiration of my AA miles by commenting on your blog. THanks Award Wallet—-we live in Hawaii, and haven’t travelled since COVID hit, and it looks like we won’t be in the near future, so I REALLY appreciate this trick to keep those valuable miles from expiring. Mahalo!!!
Thank you so much for letting me know that I can extend my AA miles for comments. Mine are almost ready to expire. I used the Miles for Dining app but they take 6- 8 weeks to post and even though I keep checking, they still haven’t posted yet!!! So frustrating. FIngers crossed that I can get them reactivated by commenting on your blog. Thanks very much!
I can’t believe I only learned about this today….
But on the other hand these are just 200 non-claimed miles.
You’re the best, AW.
Thanks for letting us know the different actions that we can take to retain our AAdvance Rewards. I especially found helpful the part about adding a blog post and about transferring Marriot Bonvoy points. I think I’ll do both. These tips are exactly what I hope and expect from AwardGuard, which is why I’ve subscribed for years. Thanks again, Paul
This was really helpful to understand how to extend some of the miles I have earned. I have always had trouble keeping track of my points, and not traveling during COVID hasn’t helped! So this article was really helpful to understand how to extend some of the points I have earned previously and not lose them. More articles like this and creative ways to extend or make the most of points is really helpful and beneficial to me!
I was just introduced to this site by a friend in order to prevent my AA miles from expiring. I am immediately realizing how useful this website is and wish I had come across it earlier!
Thanks for doing this. Long time subscriber to your service and appreciate the help in avoiding points expiry during this time!
Thanks for updating us on the mileage expiration policy. It’s good to know that American has extended things, as I was about to pay to deactivate my miles. This saved me hundreds!
Thanks for the miles. Long time member who appreciates your service!
amazing app to monitor all your accounts in a single place.
Thanks so much for the service you guys are providing – I haven’t been on an airplane in over 9 months, and would hate to lose any miles I’ve racked up! Excited to learn about this blog, I’m already grateful for the help in keeping track of my points.
This is super useful information and a great way to keep AA miles active! I’ve been an awardwallet member for awhile and just found out about this 🙂
Thank you AwardWallet for providing a way for us to protect our miles. My husband and I are greatly appreciative!
Thank you AwardWallet for providing a way to extend our miles! This initiative makes me want to fly on American Airlines the next time that I fly!!
I love this blog. It help me keeps my miles active. Thank you.
wow, thank you for providing this service. Very happy to be a long-time AwardWallet user but never knew about this service. Thank you !!
I like the idea of the Bask Savings account so that I can not worry about aa miles expiriing. Does anyone use this. Should we consider it?
Thank you for providing me a way to keep my points active.
This is really helpful now, when we can’t travel. Thanks for looking out for customers!
Thank you for continuing to offer this service! Very happy to be a long-time AwardWallet user.
So grateful for this service that allows renewal of miles that are harder to use during the pandemic! Very useful – thank you!
With business air travel down so drastically, I wish airlines would be more forgiving and generous on mileage expiration. It is a good thing I read the email notification from award wallet because otherwise I never would have known that my miles were going to expire (I got no advance warning from ĈÂ. And this program from Award Wallet is an amazing way they are helping their readers protect their miles. Pass on the word to friends and family so they don’t lose their miles either. Dan
Thank you Award Wallet for keeping my points alive.
Thanks for the reminder about expiring miles and helpful options for preserving them.
Thanks award wallet for helping us extend our miles during the virus time that we cannot travel!
I was really concerned about losing my hard-earned miles especially in this period when we cannot travel. Thanks to AwardWallet for saving the day. I feel much better knowing you are watching my accounts.
Thank you for this initiative. A good way to earn miles and bé updated to the latest programs advantages news.
Thank you
Fantastic way to extend expiration of your miles. thanks!
Given the direction that American Airlines is going, fingers crossed that we all have the opportunity to use the miles that you are helping us save! Thank you!
Best app to manage your miles and remember all expiration dates.
Nice site to renew all your AA miles! Thank you so much.
This is a terrific service. Its so hard to keep track of everything with all the different programs. And Mental alarm definitely doesn’t work for me.
Thanks again.
Flying is hard right now especially during COVID times. This is a great thing that awardwallet is providing. Very useful, especially the latest news and how to efficiently use and earn your miles.
Thank you for the 5 points to extend the expiration if my airline mileage. This site and blog are amazing to find deals on travel…..us it all the time.
Thanks again !!!!
This is a great way not to loose all those points – as Europe locks down again, its very difficult to fly right now, let alone accumulate American Airlines points. Thank you AwardWallet!
Thanks for this information. I was about to lose my AAdvantage miles
It is difficult to keep track of miles and expiration dates. It doesn’t make sense for the trigger to be something so silly as earning 5 points, but thanks to AwardWallet for giving an easy way to avoid expiration!
Thanks for this information. I was about to lose my AAdvantage miles. Not traveling during Covid.
I’ve been using your site for months now but lately I was concerned about the possibility of losing my AA miles (more than 50k). When I found this post I couldn’t believe it. Thanks for offering an alternative for all of us during this hard times.
I love this feature of Award Wallet. AA miles seem to get set to expire more frequently that my other miles. If it weren’t for these tips on easy ways to earn miles I am sure I would be losing some.
I am glad to have come across this post. I had been scratching my head to find ways to extend my miles given that we haven’t been able to take any flight lately due to Covid. Thank you AwardWallet, you have been a great keeper when it comes to my miles!
AwardWallet is a wonderful tool that took me far too long to get involved with. Spreadsheets are helpful but do not alert when miles are about to expire. Thank you
It’s been difficult to keep up with all the changes to the various loyalty programs lately due to COVID.
It’s nice to see things in one place – including new expiry dates of programs and vouchers. As I haven’t done a lot of travel lately, I don’t check all my programs as frequently as I used to.
It’s important to keep on top of these things as it would get expensive to make a mistake and miss an expiry date.
I live abroad currently and given the lack of traveling during COVID time, I had completely to check on impacts like points expiring during this time. Thank you for the reminder!
I had no idea that my miles were expiring. Thank you for watching out for us!
This great news. By years end I’ll have 5 of these certificates.
Glad to have found this useful tool. I’ve connected my accounts to Awardwallet to keep track of everything in a single place.
This is a great way to save your AA Advantage miles from expiring. I just wish more airlines had such great options.
Thanks for providing this information and this option to keep the miles from expiring.
I haven’t been able to fly because of Covid and miles are set to expire. Thanks for the reminder that they are about to expire and a way to keep them active.
Handy tool – especially for those accounts I don’t use often enough! Hopefully this will stop me from losing some, especially in the current climate.
Thank you so much for the reminder that my miles would be expiring soon. AwardWallet is a lifesaver.
Thanks for doing this, especially with travel not happening as frequently due to COVID.
Here in Canada we have less opportunity to earn American Airlines points besides flying. Due to the pandemic I haven’t traveled and my points are due to expire in early 2021. Thanks for providing ways to keep points from expiring.
With the Bask account, is there a limit of 50,000 miles you can earn?
Nope! As I say in an upcoming post, there’s no upper limit to how many miles you can earn through Bask.
AwardWallet earns its fee over and over. Thanks.
What a great idea! Thanks for the article.
I didn’t realize that I hadn’t touched my AA miles in so long and now they are about to expire. Typically I would utilize my miles at least once a year and somehow I didn’t use any last year and of course this year has been a dud. I’m thankful that AwardWallet gives this simple opportunity to keep my miles from expiring. Thank you so much!
Thank you for the info. That is a life saver! Love your website.
I appreciate the reminder about my upcoming points expiration date and the useful information on ways to keep my points active besides flying. This will help me to retain my hard earned points during this time when travel is so impractical.
Just found out that my miles will be expiring soon and I found this post – thank you. Question – can you also get AA points going through their shopping portal, and do those points count towards extending your points expiration date?
Yes, miles will post within 5 business days of your comment being approved what should extend the expiration date. Please see more details here:
https://awardwallet.com/blog/american-airlines-miles-expire/
But no, we can’t get AA miles going through their shopping portal.
Thank you for this service! Especially during Covid
Can it really be that easy? I like that you encourage your customers to speak up. Awesome!
Thank you for the great tips and recommendations. Hope we can fly again soon!
Thank you so much for the wonderful service — allowing me to see all my balances in one place and helping prevent point expiry — keep up the great work!
Thanks for all the tips and alerts. Award wallet is a great tool to keep our family miles intact
A great tip for a way to keep my AA miles current. I was wondering how to earn miles during this pandemic with my international borders closed in Aus. Thanks for the prompt.
Thanks – AwardWallet is really helpful in keeping track of my various programs! (And the +5 mi would be great 🙂
Wonder if AA is ever going to make their miles non expiring like others. This site is definitely helpful.
This is a great site for information. Thanks for the tips.
Very easy way to keep my miles current, thank you
I don’t know how you guys keep up with all of the changes and perks to all of these programs, but I’m glad you do because it has saved me a lot of money!
I had forgotten about the AA airline mileage expiration policy and was happy to see that AwardWallet had my back. Thanks!
Thanks so much for this great tip for expiring miles. I haven’t been traveling due to Covid and I hated to lose my miles. Thanks again!
This is a service to mile holders. Especially during this Covid saga. Thank you.
Expiring in a couple of months and not flying. I’d love to keep those alive!
Great tool to keep your miles alive! thanks a lot
Thanks for sending me a reminder of my AA miles due to expire soon. For now, COVID-19 has scuttled all future travel plans. As I am a senior, I will most likely wait for an approved vaccine before we make any travel plans. Thanks for your reminder.
Ed
I received an email notice from AwardWallet that my AAdavantage miles will expire in 7 days. I am glad to find this blog post and get 5 miles credited to my account to prevent my miles from expiring. Without this notice from AwardWallet, my miles would have gone! Really appreciate it!
Hi
Thanks for helping your clients out with this point reward system to save us from losing a ton of points saved up. We hope we can travel soon via AA. Thank you.
I like earning miles
I’m glad that my miles are safe with this optional method of commenting so my miles dont expire! 😬
Thank you for allowing my comment!
Thank you for providing this service. I had received the email reminder regarding my soon-to-expire AA miles, and had been thinking of what to buy to maintain them while sticking to a budget (given the state of the world and all). I then recalled this option and wondered if it was still available. Thankfully, it was! Here’s to better travel in 2021.
This is fantastic, just discovered that we can extend our AA miles by posting a comment here. Gone are the days of purchasing magazine subscriptions we don’t want in order to extend AA miles.
My question is, how long does it take to post the miles? Thanks!
Miles will post within 5 business days of your comment being approved.
It’s a bummer that AA’s mileage expiration program is chugging along. I really appreciate the 5 point engagement that this blog is doing! Pretty cool for the community. Besides this strategy for adding AA points, I like the dining option where you can use your card to double dip on normal credit card rewards and AA rewards through the dining awards program.
Is there a software that could automatically charge $1 or a small amount to an AA-affiliated card once the expiration approaches? Something of a fail-safe software to prevent expiration.
Thanks for this tip! Seriously AW is the best tool out there and the info that you guys provide really helps me manage all my points and keep track of things such as expiration. This is the 2nd time it has notified me of an expiration with good advance notice for me to do something about it. Flying Blue miles were set to expire end of 2019 and luckily I charged a DL flight to Flying Blue in time to keep points active.
Thx again!!
Great info on expiring points. I’m wondering how the pandemic is affecting expiration of these points as well. Crazy year.
I like using Award Wallet. It is similar to Mint for Finances. I enjoy being able to go to one location to see the status of all my awards accounts.
Great Post, thanks for the info!
Why doesn’t American follow united and Delta and just make the miles never expire! 🙁
Thanks for the heads-up about the miles expiring! Much appreciated.
This is one of the easiest ways to earn AA miles, also the best way to keep track of your miles and expiry dates is using Award wallet
Wonderful way to keep miles current, thank you
Easy way to keep miles current, thanks
If you have more than one linked AA account (for family members)…does each account receive 5 bonus miles? Or just the primary account?
Shopping through aadvantage shopping also avoids miles to expire, correct?
Super helpful, thanks
Expiration warning is super helpful
Excellent program, thanks so much
In a normal year AW helps keep track of all the points we earn, I’d be lost without it. Just credit card spend related points this year for me, no flights or hotel stays yet – so great to have a bonus in keeping miles from expiring.
Keep innovating!
Hello from Brazil!! It’s really hard here to use Credit card or bank points in foreign Airlines; is there any tool – app or website – that compares flights fares in points? Is there any way – app or website – of exchanging points from different companies in different countries?
Does the 18 month timeline start with this 5 mile award, or from Jan. 1st, 2021?
I believe 18 months from last activity (i.e. this 5 mile award). But you can always come back and comment on Jan 1, 2021 🙂
Thank you Award Wallet for always keeping me updated regarding my miles and when they are going to expire. I’m usually traveling a lot, but this year not so much, so I appreciate a chance to update my miles easily and not risk losing them all!
I started using AwardWallet last year.
Initially, only to keep my points organized in one place. Then the travel ban hit in Canada and even though my travel is non-essential, I definitely didn’t want to have to lose all the points I had because I was unable to travel outside the country and didn’t have a flight company credit card to help me maintain my air miles. Thank you so much AwardWallet, for existing, during these trying times!
Longtime user of AwardWallet, the expiration warning is one of the most useful features for someone who manages all of the points programs for the household.
This is an amazing initiative both from Award Wallet and the American Airlines team. Thank you so much for the opportunity.
AW is the bee’s knees. This was the post that made me aware of you guys three years ago. Such an awesome service!
That´s really usefull! I appreciate AwardWallet to do that , I used to travel at least once a year, so my miles never expires, but this year with the COVID-19 pandemic I has to suspend it.
Thanks a lot!
Thank you for the advice! Keep up the good work and help us find more ways to earn miles/ points!
That’s very useful way to renew the AA miles during this pandemic where we can’t catch a cheap flight to do it.
Thank you so much for make the life easier to many of us!
Thanks for giving us this opportunity!
Trying this to keep them going!
For the umpteenth time, thank you, AwardWallet, for the helpful email notices. I assume even though AA says my miles expire this November, they would have been fine through the end of the year?
Thank you for letting me know my American Airlines miles are about to expire in 3 months. I love award wallet and have told many people in my family and friends about your site. It helps keep me organized.
Thank you for providing this service.
I did quite a bit of travel over the years – American Airlines in particular – and things have been going well. Due to COVID-19, I have stopped all travel – like most of us. As a result, I have had zero activity on my AwardMiles accounts this year, and things are starting to expire. To be honest, I would have thought the Airlines would have made an exception – but such is life.
Thanks for providing a method by which we can show/have activity on our account to maintain those hard-earned miles.
Perfect. Thanks for the tips on avoiding expired miles!
Thanks for the advice! Great way to prevent me from losing my miles…
I really appreciate AwardWallet sending reminder emails when points are about to expire. It’s a bit disappointing that some Airlines are starting to resume the expiration of points even though we are still very much in the middle of a pandemic. As someone who has a health condition, I am still not comfortable flying and it would be a shame to lose all of my American Airlines frequently flier points. I understand that post-COVID, the airlines are leaning towards more flexible change policies (long term) and I think this is great when the rest of the travel industry (hotels and rental car companies) have found a way to do this.
Thank you!
Very useful information for all those who do not have the possibility of having an associated credit card in our country
Definitely a lot easier going ahead and getting the 5 miles now rather than waiting to figure out what to do about it all in the future. thank you!
Well this post was super helpful and just prevented me from losing my accrued miles. Thanks!!!
Thank you for this service — big AwardWallet fan here, and pleased to use this to help family members stop their miles from expiring.
Thanks for the heads up. American Airlines says that miles will not expire for the rest of 2020. Why then does my American Airlines account profile say that they expire before December 31, 2020?
We have a direct integration with American Airlines, meaning that we are not accessing your data from their website instead we connect directly to their database via API call. So we got this information from them. Could you please login to AwardWallet and click the “Update” button for your American Airlines account to get the most recent balance information?
This information had helped people like me to prevent my miles from expiring
I really love AwardWallet. I’m learing how to use it!
Realmente es una alegría poder contar con la opción de agregar un comentario a alguno de los post para evitar el vencimiento de las millas. Estoy aprendiendo las funcionalidades de AwardWallet para cargar y poder administrar otros programas de premios. Muchas gracias! 🙂
Really appreciate receiving an email about expiring miles/points. I thought AA had jumped on the “no expiration” bandwagon.
Come on, AA. If you can collateralize AAdvantage, you can let us keep the miles we’ve earned!
I didn’t realize I had miles expiring, so I’m glad I linked my AA account to Award Wallet. I received an email this afternoon that let me know I needed to take action or lose my miles. Thanks!
Thanks for the email giving me an update on my AA miles. Hopefully, I can get the 5 miles in time.
Thanks for the 5 miles!
Very useful information and I always appreciate AwardWallet’s keeping me updated on balances and upcoming expirations.
It seems that AA is among the last of the major airlines to hold on to expiration dates for miles. Between my frequent flyer accounts, all these no longer have expiration dates: Delta, United, JetBlue, Southwest. I suppose these folks understand that customers are pretty attached to their mile accruals, and the risk of pissing us off is not worth the potential cost savings.
AA Awards have been good for me over the years. Thanks for the program and for taking care of your long time flying public.
Your post saved the miles on my account – keep up the good work! I’m a paid subscriber of Awardwallet – one thing you could add is an option to add expiry warnings to Calendar (or at least have an option to set it in the app). Hopefully u add it some day 🙂
I love Award wallet. I used to have miles expire on me out of the blue, and I always felt so guilty! Thank God for award wallet for keeping me up to date on most of my mileage programs AND allowing an easy way t keep my AA miles from expiring!
So glad to see the update that they’ve extended miles expiration through 2020!! I panicked a little as mine were set to expire and I forgot!! Thanks for keeping us informed, esp with rapid changes during covid
Great way to track AA miles.
Wow really great article and I would love to earn additional AA Miles!
Hi,
I’m back again, hehehhe… Man this whole commenting gain miles thing really works! Thank AwardWallet! I’m super grateful for this. Right after I made a comment on this article, I got a notification that I’ve gained 5 miles to my AAmiles. I was like, wow! awesome! and on top of that, it extend my expiry date, this is the best! I don’t have to transfer my hotel points to my AAmiles to extend the expiry date. Thank you thank you thank you! you’ve made my day once again! Will definitely keep supporting you and your site.
Regards,
Evelyn Baktiono
Until I start traveling again, Award Wallet is providing a great service allowing ways for me to earn miles so they don’t expire.
Thanks to Award Wallet, my American Airlines miles will not expire since they have shown me multiple ways to earn miles without having to fly.
Excellent, thank you so much
Thanks to Award wallet for this service, very helpful
Agree with the general consensus here – thank you for providing the service you do. Can’t wait for things to improve out there so we can get back to traveling.
I probably don’t take advantage of AwardWallet enough but what I have used is super helpful and convenient; namely it’s one stop shop for all my reward accounts. The mileage expiration notification is also useful since I wouldn’t have realized my AA miles are expiring soon. In exploring my options for renewing my AA miles (I was sure I would have to subscribe to a magazine I would never read), I was excited to learn about the five mile bonus AwardWallet offers. Thank you for making this easy on a new mom. Now, if someone can explain to me why AA hasn’t gotten on the miles don’t expire bandwagon, I will be an even happier camper.
wow, this is great!
The AAdvantage program is excellent for the ease of the app and the simplicity in obtaining points for flights. During the pandemic we were given the opportunity to extend the validity of the points and this is really great.
Today I heard good news and add my account to here. Thank you.
Thank you for your reminder about my mile expiry! Though it’s comforting to see that AA has put their expirations on pause, I’d rather not risk it.
Dear AwardWallet,
You’re such a life saver, I have AAmiles that is about to expire in 2 months. I was super confused what should I do with the miles, since this whole pandemic and quarantine situations make it impossible to travel. I don’t think I can redeem a ticket anytime soon. So your article really brightens my day, just as simple as commenting, I can gain miles and expand the expiration dates? Sure, I would do anything to save my miles.
Thank you for always helping me with your awesome tips and tricks. I’ve been using you service for quite some time now, and your apps never fails me. It is user friendly and super simple. Thank you AwardWalllet, I will recommend you to more of my friends and let them know, how awesome you are.
Sincerely,
Evelyn Baktiono
Thank you for all the help and service provided by awardwallet. Hope the pandemic will be over soon and will be redeeming points often!
Wow this is awesome! Thank you for the information!
That’s a good tip, thanks!
I’m so excited to start tracking my miles for AAdvantage and other awards through AwardWallet!
I am so thankful to Award wallet for allowing us to get AA miles this way, thanks
t’s so great to find this tip! Donation is a wonderful way to make my account active but then I sometimes need to buy miles to fill as much I donated in order purchase my trip! Hope this works!!
Thanks AwardWallet for extending the AA expiration date
If you fly American Airlines, having a Bask Savings Account is definitely a steal! It’s one point per dollar.
Award Wallet has been my go to for keeping track of all the various mileage programs and for different members of the household! The reminders for the expirations is super helpful. Plus the new activity emails are awesome. Thank you! P.S. The AA Miles bonus is icing on the cake 🙂
This service to prevent American Airlines miles from expiring is one of my favorite things about subscribing to Award Wallet. Thank you!
Does anyone know if there’s a way to transfer Chase UR to American Airlines?
I am definitely going to check out the Bask account or opening a credit card to save my American Airlines miles from expiring. Thanks for the helpful info!
AwardWallet is by far the best service for keeping track of many mileage programs and this blog is an awesome way to learn and keep informed about the Airline Industry. Unfortunately, airports remain virtually closed in Argentina (where I live) so any way to earn some miles is more than welcome. Many many thanks AW!
Thanks award wallet for all the helpful tips!
This is a great site for tracking my miles. Wish I’d found it before. COVID is a difficult time and Im not able to fly as much as I could so tracking expiry of my points is really handy. Plus its also great to be able to earn a few miles posting on the blog!
Without award wallet I would have lost a ton of american airlines miles. Can’t imagine joining frequent flyer programs without having the little nudges I receive from these guys. Thanks.
I’m curious has anyone tried booking an award flight, then cancelling before the flight to keep their mileage active?
No flying for me this year as Covid changes life for everybody. Its hard to renew miles without flying, especially if you live outside the US. I’m so grateful to have this option. Thank you, Award Wallet.
Thanks for the suggestion. Very useful
I’m a long time supporter of Award Wallet. I could not begin to keep track of all my accounts without it. I especially like the link about how to keep points from expiring. thanks for a great service.
Thank you AwardWallet ! Every mile counts.
Thank you awardwallet for reminding me of the expiry for the AAadvantage miles. I have logged into the awardwallet website. What can I do to ensure that the american advantage miles do not expire?
Wow, this is great! I’ve used AwardWallet for years but it keeps getting better. Thanks for all the great work!
This policy of adding 5 AAdvantage miles for leaving a comment is great. I know that they are pausing expiration until december 30th but I’m worried I’ll be too busy then and forget to extend my soon to be expiring account…
Thank you so much for providing a solution to extend my miles easily during the pandemic! I was growing concerned about my expiring miles, and was so happy to find AwardWallet’s article and tips.
I did not know about this option. Thank you AwardWallet for helping keep my American miles active!
This service is terrific especially right now during covid. Without being able to travel we risk our hard earned miles expiring. Thanks award wallet for helping us maintain our miles, and keep everything in one easy to find place! I especially appreciate the miles expiry line in the account page – makes it easy to keep track before it’s too late and they’re gone.
Another method I used recently to avoid expiration was to link my account (Hilton HHonors in this case) to my Amazon account. Then I was able to use as little as 1000 points for cash value against any purchase. Painless and who can’t use something from Amazon?
Does anyone know what other mileage programs partner with Amazon?
Thanks for providing an easy way to renew AA miles. My best redeemption of AA miles was JFK-AUH-DEL in F on an A-380 for 110K AA miles
This has been very helpful. I suggest people also log in to your accounts at least once a year. I don’t seem to be able to log in to one of my AA credit card accounts anymore. It was likely closed due to inactivity.
That’s great news – I was wondering how to top up my points when we can’t travel at the moment…
Thank you Award Wallet for reminding me that my AA miles were due to expire. I appreciate this article and the tips! I love using Award Wallet to track all my miles and points. It makes it so much easier than logging in separately to each website.
Thanks for the useful tip, i wasnt aware of the blog or this feature til now!
The blog infoviajera from Argentina suggested this tip and I think that the blog post that they wrote will be useful for Latin American speakers.
By far, the best service. Always great to travel with you
Thanks a lot AwardWallet for extending the AA expiration.
Thank you AwardWallet for helping keep my American miles active! Love your app.
Thanks so much this is so useful!
Best Tootl and Great Advice on Blog
Glad to find this out! I usually donated to earn miles which was great but sometimes, it led me to buy some extra miles when I actually travel. Hope this really works and wish to travel again soon. This COVID situation really makes me dreaming about our next trip which I don’t know when it can be….
Thanks so much for this useful information! I needed a way to stop my awards miles from expiring, and I appreciate that American is providing some easy options for that amidst our current times.
Thank you so much for useful post! I was searching for what to do with my AA mileage which will expire less than a month. Since Pandemic, lots of airline companies sent me e-mail to confirm that they have extended my mileage but AA hasn’t! So glad I found this post! Will check my AA account daily to see if this really works and will let you guys know 🙂
Wow! It’s awesome. My AA miles will expire in one month and now I find this easy way to save my miles. Thank you for the useful information.
This is very helpful new feature from award wallet. I didn’t even know a blog was there before i got linked here from google search. this will extend AA miles, by far the easiest way!
Thanks for the useful info about AA miles not expiring until the end of 2020. I had a mini-stroke when I thought my miles had expired… Then I found your helpful blog!
Thank you AwardWallet for coming to rescue with expiring AA miles!
So glad that google search led me to this page. I was looking for a way to extend the miles expiration as I received a notification from AA that my points will expire soon. Both this method and Bask Bank should prove to be useful! Thank you.
I’ve been using AwardWallet for years and have no intention of stopping! Thank you for providing this service!
This is very useful information. My miles are due to expire next January 2021, The only way I had to prevent my miles from expiring was buying some, as it’s not very likely that I travel this year because of all this world wide pandemic situation. Thanks you very much.
I’ve been using the Awardwallet App for two years now. Really plan me to better control my loyalty plans
I appreciate AA reminding us of when our miles expire and offering opportunities to extend the miles without the need to travel or purchase something. Thanks! Looking forward to flying with you again soon.
This is so helpful. My miles are expiring soon, so I had been looking for a way to prevent that from happening.
That’s very helpful! I was still hoping AA would extend the expiration of our miles due to current situation but won’t take chance anymore.
My AA miles are set to expire in October (even though I had seen postings around the web of mile expiration being deferred through the end of 2020), so I’m playing it safe and generating some earning activity.
In addition to the miles-for-comments offer here, I just signed up for a Bask account. The best savings account interest rates these days are ~0.7%, so the effective earnings rate at Bask really isn’t that bad!
Pro tip: find a referral link to use when you sign up to get an extra 5000 bonus mile offer (without being referred, you can only earn 1000 bonus miles at signup). Bask’s bonus mile offers earlier this year were much better based on blog posts I’ve seen, but given the circumstances with COVID I’ll take what I can get. 🙂
Thanks!
Thank you for the information! Like other people have said, it’s great to have a way to keep the miles, especially in the midst of COVID. I appreciate the tip!
Thanks for the article, I know there are surveys that give miles and such however I didn’t realized something like this exists. Would AA extend their expiration date since majority of the country/world is still locked down?
Here’s hoping that American continues to defer expiration of miles…
I am so thrilled to find this article. Due to Covid-19 and the situations going on in the world, it is very limited to travel so i was afraid to lose mu miles. I would be so happy to keep the mile. Information is money! Thanks Awardwallet for giving us this opportunity!
Since no one is travelling much these days it is good to know that a comment will keep my miles from expiring. Thank you for this comment offer.
Super helpful tips! Thanks for the offer to help keep my AA account active! 🙂
Lifesaver that I got a notification that my miles were going to expire. Nothing more frustrating than losing miles that could easily have been extended. Thanks Award Wallet!
This is amazing that you offer 5 free miles for a simple reply. I was considering buying miles, etc, but this really is a life saver, so I wanted to say thank you!
Kudos to your team!
Thanks AwardWallet for extending the AA expiration date
Great article–so thankful to have learned this. Does anyone know if AA has given an extension to miles expiration considering covid?
This program is awesome. We only fly American Airlines. We’ve been able to save miles and fly on award tickets especially overseas. Award wallet is great at keeping track of all our awards.
Thank you for a great company and great blog. Are there any other ways to earn points using awardwallet?
Good to know!
American Airlines and Award Wallet, a great combination. I’ve always gotten great service on AAL. Best flights to Hawaii. Thanks for joining with Award Wallet.
Award Wallet is a great tool. Thanks American Airlines for joining with Award Wallet. Best Airline to fly to Hawaii, with great schedule of flights.
Thanks AAL and Award Wallet!
This is awesome!
Thank you for the great options. I just got an email from AA about my miles expiring soon, and this was just what I was looking for to prevent the expiration. Hoping for my 5 miles!
Thanks to AwardWallet for yet another incredible tip! Not only do you help me manage my family’s multiple frequent flyer accounts, but you continually give me ways to maximize our frequent flyer programs. What a great service!
Thanks for useful information, as always!!
I’m Brazilian and the App Awardwallet integrates with several Loyalty Plans that exist only here! Very good! Thank you AwardWallet
I’ve been using the Awardwallet App for two years now. Really plan me to better control my loyalty plans
When I first heard about this about a year and a half ago, it sounded too good to be true. I wasn’t able to travel for a while and was afraid of losing my points. AwardWallet saved the day. Now due to Corona I won’t be travelling for some time, so I’m turning to AwardWallet again to help keep my AA points from expiring. Thanks AwardWallet!
So if I comment on this post will I receive 5 miles and extend the expiration date of my current miles? Too good to be true! Thanks AwardWallet!
This is an excellent program. I’ve flown AA a few times but in light of recent events I really wanted a way to keep my mileage from expiring. Not entirely sure we’ll be able to fly in a timeframe allowable by AA due to the pandemic and all.
This is an awesome tool! I only fly with American every so often since other airlines are more convenient for the routes I fly most frequently, and with the current travel situation I haven’t been doing any leisure travel to other locations that AA services. I know they’ve put expirations on hold until December 1, but this will give me a couple months cushion in case they don’t renew that again.
Thank you!
Thanks AwardsWallet for this extremely useful option, moreso now than ever given these trying times that have greatly slowed down travel. I can’t wait to start taking flights again and would love to be able to use my AAdvantage miles to do so!
Thanks to AwardWallet for providing this option. Interestingly, my account says miles are set to expire in November even though AA announced the extension till the end of the year. Not sure if they simply haven’t updated the accounts yet or if the extension doesn’t apply to all.
This is incredibly helpful for those of us who are not flying with the current situation. I would have never even know expiration was coming up without the Award wallet service which makes it so easy to keep track of all these programs.
I found this great way to keep my aa mile. Thanks!
Great program for AAdvantage!
This is very good to extend the expiration date for American airline mileage.
But you have to remember that your comments should be approved to get 5 miles.
This is a very useful tip.
I received the email regarding the expiring of my AA miles and I researched how to avoid the mileage expiration and found this tip and used it,
I purchased the magazine and expect this will work for another 18 months of extension.
trying to extend AA miles
Wow! Thank you for this post! I was Googling ways to keep AAdvantage miles from expiring and I came across this site. I signed up for an account and am linking all of my rewards programs. It’s such a great idea and timesaver from logging into multiple sites.
My miles almost expire! Thanks for the reminder and the great tip!
My husband came across your website and sent me the link because my AA points are set to expire later this month. This is a great resource. We keep a spreadsheet of our mileage accounts, but this is another great place to keep track of them. Thank you for the tips and for offering an easy way to earn points to keep our account active!
Award Wallet is an easy and INCREDIBLY helpful way to keep track of all your miles. They notified me when my miles were due to expire and gave me suggestions (like writing this post) about how to keep them active! So appreciative and highly recommend using Award Wallet!
I’m a bit confused (it’s that kind of year) – I’ve read on the blog here and in other online sources that AA is extending it’s miles expiration ‘suspension’ until the end of the year – my husband has a paltry 2500 that is still showing as due to expire in 25 days time according to AA website – anyone else had a similar situation and then they are reinstated or have expiration extended? Fingers crossed commending on blog will do the trick –
This is the best way to extend the AA mileage!
If not for the alert from AwardWallet on my expiring miles and ideas to hold on to them, the miles would have just gone to waste! Bad on American though for such stingy expiration policies during a pandemic.
So far payment for Awardwallet was worth it. Now I can prevent my AA miles from expiring.
This is helpful. Awardwallet says my miles expire in 8 months; I can’t even find this info on aa.com.
Awesome tip! Great to keep miles active! Thx!
May the pandemic go away asap. Stay healthy and safe.
Awardwallet has been amazing and this is just another huge benefit to its users. Let’s hope AA would extend its miles expiration during COVID however.
Getting the most up to date info on the blog on expiring miles, specials with different credit card specials is always a plus. More importantly one website that does all the tracking of your miles for you and even sends reminders via email when they are coming up on expiration.
I had no idea this option existed until today. I’ve been using the shopping portal just to keep my miles active, but those malls don’t usually have the best prices on what I’m looking for. Thanks for saving my miles!
Award Wallet has always saved the day for me by helping me choose the best credit cards, great new promotions, or ways to easily accrue miles. Such a great resource.
Thank you for this! saved my day!
Award wallet has been a lifesaver. Use it for both information on the blog and an invaluable resource to keep track of all my miles.
Will have to check out the Bask Savings Account option but for now hoping that this comment will get me through infrequent travel during these COVID times. Random thought: I feel like airlines should go back to waiving all baggage fees for the first 2 checked bags since planes are flying with less passengers and therefore less weight these days. Anyone else feel that way, or am I missing something?
Thank you for providing the way to keep miles from expiring!
Appreciate these tips, especially since it’s difficult to fly nowadays. Thank you for the information!
This article was very helpful, thank you!
The AwardWallet mile expiration notices that I receive have saved me much grief. Thanks for helping us to keep our miles.
This is a great way of keeping my miles from expiring, thank you very much for helping out during Covid and for having such a great product!
Thanks for helping prevent from having my AA miles expire!
Given the COVID situation and our lack of ability to fly much of anywhere these days, I appreciate that AwardWallet has an easy way to keep miles from expiring.
This is a great program. Thank you for bringing us this great content and giving us the chance to keep our miles active.
Great way to prevent from having my AA miles expire! Thanks for the tip, best app to keep track of all of my mileages!
Thanks so much! 1.3 months left and 84,000 of them!
This is honestly the best program I have seen to date. Used this once last year and using it again to refresh my account.
Earning 5 points the easy way? Priceless
The one feature that people shouldnt forget
I think I will use my miles for travel to Alaska or Washington/Oregon in 2022
My miles are expiring soon so I’m so glad you guys offer this
Is this still working?
This is great!
Thanks much for allowing multiple AA frequent flyer accounts tagged to my account to be eligible for the 5 miles
this is a great way to keep points from expiring
Un blog muy interesante,sobre AAdvance,muchas gracias
Of all the mile loyalty programs, American seems to be the most popular and has the most opportunities to earn miles.
Was hoping AA would paused expiration. Interesting that they didn’t email me about it. Thanks for posting, otherwise i won’t have known!
So glad to have found this site – a great place to consolidate all the info about my reward miles!
Excellent tool AW!! How long does it take to become accredited to AA?
2-5 days usually.
Hi AwardWallet! This is really great. An excellent idea to keep our miles alive!!
I hope I can use my miles soon when pandemics ends.
Is this still working?
Yep!
Ah, this is terrific. Great way to stay on top of extending various mileage programs expirations!
This is awesome! Really helped my wife out in a bind!
Has anyone had any success with the AA Shopping Portal posting for UK-based accounts?
It’s a shame there’s nothing new in the way of credit cards over this way now either, not even an Amex MR option!
This is a big help in extending frequent flyer miles without having to buy miles or go out to dinner. Have been a long time subscriber to AwardWallet and thanks to them I have been kept up to date on all of our award programs. Would have it no other way. Thanks
Just wanna know if this really works, as 5 points will be added within 5 business days.
Thank you award wallet for this great app and idea
I just came across Award Wallet and it is such a user friendly organizational tool to keep track of all my different accounts and points. I live in a very high risk household and unfortunately will not be able to travel and use my pointsmiles anytime soon. This blog and comment for points option is a life saver as my AAdvantage miles will expire next year before I will be able to use them. Thank you
During the early days of the Covid crisis, I was quite relieved to have all my miles, fees and taxes refunded for a reservation that had one segment cancelled. I hope to use those miles when international travel begins to open up again. I’ve received a lot of travel award tips on Award Wallet. Thanks so much.
I would never know when my AA miles are going to expire if it wasn’t for the emails from AwardWallet reminding me. After surfing the blogs I came across this post and very glad I did. Thank you for the years of service guys
i love the periodic alerts from award wallet about expiring miles. it saved me tons of miles on multiple occasions.
Thank you so much for this site! I am always of losing our hard-earned miles. This helps us keep track of them and offers options for ways
to keep them active.
Thanks for this information! let’s see if if works!
Thanks for saving my AA miles!!!! They were about to expire and since I canceled my AAdvantage Card I haven’t been earning any points, and I also haven’t been flying with AA lately either. It’s not like I have a lot but I would rather save them than lose them.
Great system. I’ve miles expiring but since we cannot fly to the US at the moment due to FO rules, hopefully your system will keep my miles alive so I can plan my trip for next year.
This is such a great way to keep AA miles alive! I was so disappointed to see that my Citibank MileUp Card (that I would have used to keep my points alive) got cancelled without any warning whatsoever! Crossing my fingers that this commenting method works!
This article was very helpful, thank you!
I’m delighted to have found this service. If it works I will definitely be letting my colleagues know about this. Working for an international tourism provider if proving difficult during COVID times so every little helps, especially for keeping track of airline and hotel loyalty points, great job!
This is a great program. Award Wallet is very helpful in finding quick ways to manage or increase the various reward points I have in many of my accounts. This is a great way to interact with the Award Wallet community and keep those AA points from expiring. The Bask savings account is another great way. Thank you Award Wallet for a superior service and linking us up to great ways to keep our points.
A fantastic told me about AwardWallet. Just signed up – seems like a great tool to manage my accounts and keep my AA miles alive. Thank you!
Thank you for notifying us…
Such a useful tool to keep AA miles from expiring! I wish we have such a tool for every mileage account!
How are you guys able to do this with AA miles? Do you buy them, or have some sort of arrangement with them? Regardless, it’s appreciated.
I found this article looking for ways to extend the expiration on my points without buying miles at an inflated price. I have a card that gives mile rewards, but the statement closing date is 2 days before the miles expire, and that’s cutting it close!
Would this “earning AA 5 miles by leaving a comment on an Awardwallet post” work more than once?
I remember I tried this about 18 months ago and my miles had been successfully extended.
I still have quite a lot of AA miles and have no chance to use them because of covid.
So I wonder weather this comment will extend the miles again.
It worked!!!!!! 🙂
Woow! Awesome! Great information.
Anyone has any comment on the Plus membership?
Super helpful post! So glad I found this – like many, my summer travel has been postponed indefinitely and I am really disappointed in American’s continued mileage expiration policy. IMO, in a time when most airlines have already done away with mileage expiration completely, AA needs to make some changes! At the very least, renewing/extending expiration while so many are not able to travel due to COVID. Thanks AwardWallet!
Terrific opportunity to extend my miles! I have an upcoming American flight but its after the expiration date. Great to have this way to make sure I keep earning and don’t lose my miles. Thanks to the AwardWallet team!
If only AA miles never expired!
Cool feature! My Dad could use this – going to share with him for sure
AwardWallet is an invaluable tool to have for frequent travelers. All your frequent flyer programs in one screen makes tracking them a breeze. Add to the fact that they are offering AA miles to keep miles from expiring shows that they know what travelers are faced with during these uncertain times. Highly recommend for anyone who flies!
My AA miles were about to expire so I was really happy to find out about this. Thank you!
Thanx again for this! What a great way to keep up (and keep current!) all those miles! Love Award Wallet!
Love the fact that this is available. Great information!
Hi everyone
I visited this website for the first time. I want to say hello to everyone.
Stay healthy.
It would be great if I can extend my AA mileage’s expiration date with this comment. Due to the COVID situation, it is extremely hard to be on top of managing all the expiration dates for various membership programs. Thank you for this opportunity to keep it on for my AA, I will continue to be a paying member of the AwardWallet!
I’ve been using Awardwallet since I first got into miles and points. I love the tips on keeping my orphaned points alive.
I am so glad I found this. One less thing to worry about with my AA miles expiring.
To Prevent AA mile expire
I noticed that my AA miles are expiring in Sep, after the July extension cutoff. But, like others, I’m unable to fly / travel right now due to Covid. I am glad to have found that AwardWallet has this program that provides us with a simple way of extending our miles. Thanks AwardWallet!
Love AwardWallet. Really helpful in keeping track of all my various FF accounts in one place. Plus, this is a great way to keep my AA miles active, especially when I’m not doing traveling now due to Covid.
A friend told me about AwardWallet. Just signed up – seems like a great tool to manage my accounts and keep my AA miles alive!
Wow, it was so easy to sign up and leave a comment to extend my AAdvantage miles from expiring. Very cool service. Looks useful for managing all my miles!
You really help make it easier to navigate the system
Thanks for helping us to extend our AA miles. I have been using awardwallet for many years, I’m so glad i found out about it. I will let others know about this.
What a great idea this is.
Hello Award Wallet: It’s nice to be able to leave you a comment and top-up our account a bit. Do you also offer this comment for points for other points clubs also? Sure would be nice!
Nice to find a way of topping up my AAdvantage points. I only need a few to reach an important level.
I am very disappointed that American is not offering an extension of the 18 month activity period with everything going on about Covid.
I have been using AwardWallet for several years and find it to be a valuable service, especially for articles like this one!
This is awesome, I just found about award wallet and looking forward to keeping track of everything through this website and app.
Always been a big fan of AwardWallet and have been using it for years to keep track of my whole family’s accounts. Glad to have this user-friendly way to not let my AA miles expire. Thanks!
My miles expire in 1 month, i’m so glad that i found this blog. Thank you awardwallet!
Nice to find another way of preventing my AA miles from expiring. As Canadians, and other non U.S. residents, we do not qualify to take part in the e shopping program, the dining program and the survey program… all ways that we could have continued to grow our AAdvantage points. Sure wish these airlines would open up the shopping, dining and survey programs to ALL members of their AAdvantage club. Otherwise, it is very difficult to find a way of adding points to our account a little at a time. I appreciate the time members take in posting their comments. This is how I found out about getting points for comments on award wallet.
What a great tool for tracking and managing reward balances.
This is awesome!
I signed up years ago but never really used. Now that my AA miles were about to expire I came across this site again. Thanks a bunch and I’l be adding my other reward programs soon.
This is an awesome service! Helping people keep there points alive.
I am glad the airline is making adjustments to their miles plan. With Covid happening, I won’t be traveling. I am glad for this site and hoping I get my 5 points so I don’t lose points for not using them during this pandamic.
This is a really great tool. Especially because of COVID-19, you would imagine so many people want to put their miles on hold. Hopefully this can lead to an era where miles can be freely exchanged like currency.
I have miles which expire later this year, but with the ongoing pandemic I’m not sure I’ll be able to fly before then, so I was looking for ways to extend my miles and found this! How great! I’ll be utilizing this website more in the future now!
I just tried to the Chrome extension for AwardWallet, and I must say it works like a charm to get the mileage for me BA accounts – quite nifty! However I am not sure why I can no longer get the expiration date for those (and a few others) without ‘upgrading’ … or rather, what the logic is when AwardWallet wants to me upgrade and when I can still get the expiration date without upgrading. Given that I track for many family members this may not be effective for me in the long run as I hoped … tbd.

Hi everybody, I was trying to extend my AA miles which are about to expire. I wonder if this comment is enough. I also would like to know if anyone knows of a way of merging Iberia´s avios and AA miles since both belong to One world alliance.
Cheers!
