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.

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 pick an AAdvantage® account to credit the miles? After you leave a comment, you'll receive one of two pop-ups.

I received a notification that my AA points were going to expire by year end. I started doing research on how to extend the expiration or how to redeem the points, since flying isn’t happening any time soon. The Points Guy led me here. Great to know that I can not only earn points through AwardWallet but also extend that upcoming expiration.
I had no idea that I could comment nd earn miles.😊
Having this opportunity to maintain my AA miles is fantastic, thank you AwardWallet! Living in the Houston area which is dominated by United, it’s more challenging to find the best way to utilize the remaining AA miles I have accumulated over the years. First time user – but impressed by the multitude of blogs and ways to utilize my other travel accounts!
Excelenteeeee
que buenas novedades
My AA miles expire next month! What a great opportunity to find this now. Thanks.
I did not know that this service existed! It’s something I’ve always wanted. Great!
Thanks Award wallet for reminding me of the expiration and giving me this great option to leave a comment in order to extend my miles.
Thank you very much. This is very helpful. I very much enjoy the blog and the information you share. It is a great way of keeping me updated and of the various offers and benefits waiting out there!. Thank you for this benefit!
A great way to keep the American Airlines miles from expiring and earning miles.
I had no idea that such a great service existed. My husband has used your app for years and just stumbled upon this article for refreshing AA miles which is simply a great offering to your followers.
I wasn’t aware my AAdvantage Rewards points were going to expire until I logged into AwardWallet and it told me. This was an extremely useful and valuable service from the program. I’m so impressed that I upgraded for a year of full features. Well done!
This is a really cool 💡. I have been wanting to go over to Europe for some time now. Maybe sometime in the future or near future I’ll be able to afford it using AA airline miles and help collecting them from AwardWallet!
Great info! This will help keep my AAdvantage miles from expiring. I use AwardWallet regularly to keep track of all my award accounts.
Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information. It’s also a good point to note that some miles have had their expiration dates extended due to the pandemic so I actually just double checked my dates while I was looking into extending their expiration dates again! This is an awesome hack that I look forward to sharing with my travel friends.
Awards Wallet rocks! I’m so busy in my daily life that I totally lost track of the fact that my American Airlines miles were about to expire. They are ALMOST enough for a free flight so I didn’t want to lose them. Thanks, Award Wallet for the much-needed reminder.
Since travel to maintain my Aadvantage miles is imposible due to COVID-19, this is a great way to keep the American Airlines miles from expiring
A great way to keep the American Airlines miles from expiring and earning milles. I ve been trying and it works!!
Thank you for the helpful tips on your blog. I’ve been traveling the world leading bicycle tours for a non profit company for 10 years and never had to worry about miles expiring. It took a pandemic to change that! While I’ve enjoyed staying local for a year and there is no place better to live than the U.S., I’m not ready to give up long international flights just yet..
This is a super useful thing to know!
My bank has recently cancelled AAdvantage rewards programs and I found myself at odds due to the fact that my American Airlines miles were expiring soon. Thanks to the instructions provisioned on this article and by posting useful comments on different articles I was awarded the 5 miles reward, got them credited into my account and extended my miles expiration date.
I would like to thank the Award wallet team not only for this great gift but also for all the useful information about airlines miles and rewards which cannot be foun anywhere else on the web. Great Work! 🙂
Thanks for the miles! It’s been tough not being able to travel during COVID. Hoping for brighter days ahead and a chance to use my miles before they expire.
Thank you so much for posting this. We have not traveled anywhere since the pandemic and won’t until our kids are vaccinated. So glad that you are offering this as a way to keep our miles from expiring.
an amazing Blog Tips and News! much good. Thanks for keeping it simple to keep all the info in one place to check. Thanks for the AA Miles.
That is a perfect way to extend my miles. Glad to know!!! This year is impossible to travel, unfortunately.
Very convenient way to keep American miles from expiring!!!
I was about to spend money in the shopping portal, but this is a way easier and cooler way to extend miles without expiration. Thank you so much AwardWallet!
While I fly American often, with the lockdown restrictions air travel has really been put on hold for me. This is a really nice gesture by American not to strong-arm it’s loyal customers into buying miles when we would have happily earned them if we weren’t under so many restrictions. Thank you American and AwardWallet!!
I bet you did not know that but even people across the pond from exotic places as Slovenia are following your blog! And we find it great.
But we miss some content tailored for us Europeans. There are many things we can’t buy or use to extend our miles that you guys can.
Keep up the good work!
Marko
Without AwardWallet all my AA-miles would have been expired. What a great service to notify in advance!
Thanks for this.
I’ve been an Award Wallet user for many years. Prior to this I was never able to reliably track my points programs.
Looking forward to using my AA points when travel routes really start opening up. With the limited international flight capacity, business seats are still at a premium right now.
Great for extending my AAdvantage miles! Hope the travel resumes soon!
Thank you for making it easy to save miles and managing accounts.
This is such a life, errr, mile saver! I was getting nervous trying to figure out how to extend the expiration data…Award Wallet to the rescue!
thanks for this post. you always have great advice and i recommend you to my friends.
Great post, thanks for the reminder of my expiring miles, which helped me avoid loosing a large amount of AA miles
Thanks a lot for making it easy to maintain my miles. Australia has its borders closed and I wanted to keep my miles to fly overseas when they open again.
Thank you, Award Wallet for the great initiative and ambassadorship.
Thanks for the tips! And what a great way to prevent points from expiring!
I am a AwardWallet User since many years. It is really doing a great job keeping all my Hotel, Rental Car and Flight rewards at one place and reminding me of the individual expirations. What i also just found out and really highly appreciate that AwardWallet gives useful tips how to prevent the expiration of my hard earned points. Unfortunately i already lost a couple 100K Points due to expiration in the past what really hurt.
I looking forward to see if this will work getting me the 5 Reward Points and if those 5 reward points will extend my account from the upcoming expiration.
great Job and thx for the info AwardWallet Team.
all the best from Germany
Pierre
thank you for helping me keep my AA miles. way to go!
Starting to travel again and saw my points were about to expire. This is an easy, clear, and concise post to push out that expiration. Thanks Erik and the Award Wallet team!
I have had collected miles from so many different airlines over the years and have found American Airlines to be the best value and the most available to use! I’m always recommending their program and now with better ways to keep the Miles form expiring I can’t speak higher of the program!
I am in Australia , I have not been able to leave the country since March 2020 , you need special written permission to get on a international flight .
The points expiration feature is clutch!
I’ve been using AwardWallet for years. Since COVID it is helping me to determine the status of all my award miles. During COVID I cancelled most of my award credit cards with annual fees. I’m most concerned about my AAdvantage miles as most of my other programs announced no expiration policies or I have credit cards protecting the mileage. I love your monitoring service & email alerts! I really need the 5 miles to save the expiration of my AA account miles. Thanks for all you do!
Hoping to be approved for the 5 points!!
Wow, what an awesome site! I love traveling, but I wasn’t aware of all the ins and outs of using travel miles, and certainly not which ones expire and when. With COVID-19 ending, I’m so excited to travel again! Thank you Award Wallet!
Thank you award wallet
I rely regularly on AwardWallet and this blog is a great example why. I learned numerous simple and easy ways to keep my miles active on American Airlines!
This is excellent, but in these times of pandemic it is not known when the visjes will be able to resume. Thank you!
I’m so grateful for the reminder email from AwardWallet about my expiring air miles. AND the appropriate information to keep them from expiring. What a great service for those who want to maximize their rewards! It is so nice to have one location to keep track of all those travel earnings. Prior to AwardWallet, it was a challenge to manage everything, now it is a piece of cake. I recommend this service to all of my friends.
I recommend using monitoring tools offered by the platform to get a heads-up when miles are expiring. They can even email mail you ahead of time to take action. Thanks for offering this server to expend the mileage we earned.
I wish I’d discovered Award Wallet earlier. Managing air miles expirations used to be a chore, like paying bills except it requires manual tracking and there’s no reminders. Really glad to have this tool to centralize management and information like covid policy changes.
Love this blog, especially as travel opens back up! With miles expiring, I especially love this idea of 5 miles just to keep the account fresh! Super helpful and keep it up!
Do we know if/when they will extend this deadline again?
Do you happen to have a post for all the COVID-related tricks to extend loyalty programs’ expiration deadline?
This post may be helpful:
https://awardwallet.com/blog/airlines-hotels-suspended-point-expiration/
I’m still getting used to this “aggregation” site. There’s a lot of information here … much of it seems “self-populated” … not sure how they did that since I don’t remember many of the “loyalty” programs it found.
What I’d like to see AW improve the most would be to simplify the webpages … rather see a more organized “drill down” approach rather than so much info on one page.
What a great way to prevent my AA awards points for expiring and also gaining a few in the process! Thank you so much Award Wallet!!
Just came across this blog post and am glad I found a way to extend my miles. I appreciate the partnership that you and AA were able to come up with. I’ll check out what other blog posts you have since I didn’t even know about this section of the website.
This is such a nice way to extend the expiring miles, especially when travel’s been so slow.
It looks like this page needs to be updated. AA recently extended the expiration date of all miles expiring in 2021 until January 2022
Ah yes, you’re right. Updated this post to reflect that.
Love the Blog Tips and News! Great service. Thanks for keeping it simple to keep all the info in one place to check. Thanks for the AA Miles.
This post is unbelievably helpful. AwardWallet has been a great resource for me in the past, and it’s wonderful that you’re now helping me keep my AAdvantage miles by simply leaving a comment. Thank you! Keep up the excellent work, and I look forward to continuing to use this service once the pandemic subsides.
amazing
This is my favorite method to track the expiration dates of points and miles in many programs. I highly recommend signing up for an account and linking your various loyalty numbers to keep track of your balances and expirations dates.
A friend just told me about AwardWallet and I signed up ASAP. This is such an amazing site and tool to keep track of all my loyalty points in one place, which to be honest has always been a pain for me. Also, this is a great site for extending my airline miles since I have not been able to fly during the pandemic, and I don’t want to loose my AA points since I have enough for a free roundtrip!
I’m a new user to AwardWallet. I love the idea of a central place to keep up with my travel and other reward balances & expirations. The bonus of 5 AAdvantage miles for getting engaged in the community is a plus! But I’m wondering, like probably many other users, whether sharing my account information with this site is safe? I’ve read through some of the FAQ’s but haven’t been able to determine exactly what safeguards AwardWallet takes to keep my login and account information safe. Can someone put my mind at ease? Thank you.
With the AA EQD boost and targeted-ish boost on segments to retain status, platinum might be possible again if not platinum pro (OneWorld Emerald). None the less the 5 miles from AW here are great for keeping the family accounts active.
Sweet!
This post was very helpful in identifying a way to keep my AA miles from expiring! I hadn’t flown in over a year because of COVID and could not find a good way to ensure I didn’t lose a significant number of miles until I found this post. Thanks AwardWallet for the great idea!
Thanks for the generous points and helpful advice!
Just came across this website a few days ago and what an amazing tool it is..! So easy to set up all miles/membership accounts into one consolidated place, and takes the hassle away of having to manually monitor point expiration dates. Thank you again
So glad you all send me these reminders when my miles are about to expire! Would hate to have lost them.
Thank you for the wonderful blog and tips on how to extend miles. Happy to be a new account holder here!
Thanks for the helpful article! I’ve been on a hiatus from Award Wallet, but with travel picking back up, I’m excited to take advantage of all the benefits and organization!
Award Wallet has been instrumental in keeping our rewards accounts organized over the years. Much appreciated that you are also offering valid options to save those hard earned (expiring) miles that have been on hold since COVID hit. Keep it up!
Award Wallet FTW! So great and thankful for resources that keep me on track!
Awardwallet continues to be one of the most valuable travel resources available!
I’m impressed by all the features award wallet has to offer. It has saved me from the horrific experience of logging into my frequent flyer account only to discover that all my miles have expired.
Please continue the good work!
Award Wallet made it easy for me to extend my AA miles and that was a life saver – especially now that I can’t just book a flight. The tracking will keep me from losing my hard earned miles – thanks!
I switched over to AA when 100K United miles were taken for inactivity. AA makes it so much easier to extend and I opened the AA card and instantly got an additional 60K miles and an extension for them!! Love Award Wallet for the reminders and ways to extend without having to hop on a flight
Thanks to AwardWallet, now I can know the status of all my loyalty programs in one place, with notifications and a very useful dashboard!
In particular, it has helped me to know that my AAdvantage program miles are about to expire and, luckily, I was able to find this post to be able to extend them.
Thanks AwardWallet !!
This sounds great, I wonder when I will be able to see this 5 points in my AA account.
Great news!
I consider myself to be moderately savvy using miles and points, but award wallet has been a “milesaver” for my family and I multiple times by reminding me of expiration times in advance and tips to extend those miles. This is one more example of an “easy” way to extend the length for a family members aa miles, without having to go through the hassle of using a portal or another 3rd party and then tracking and confirming (weeks later) that the tracker went through. Of course, it doesn’t always and then…. oops, miles lost. This is so much better. Thank you.
Thanks for the excellent resource and tracking service. Anyone who has airline miles that can eventually expire (almost all do) should link to AwardWallet’s tracking service. This will make tracking so much easier. I expect to be recommending this to friends and family once I see how well it works – I just signed up today. Thanks again! (And thanks for the 5 miles – my miles are expriring in a month)
What a great feature to remind me of expiring points, hard earned and a shame to lose during this pandemic when I can’t make use of them easily (UK based frequent flyer who hasn’t flown in 15 months 🙄)
I’ve had my AA miles since the merger with US Airways. AA does not serve my airport so I have not been able to use them. Very thankful for this opportunity to extend my miles.
Miles expiry reminders is a great feature of AwardWallet!
AwardWallet, thank you for everything you have done for me! I have been a faithful user for many years and you have brought real value. I can finally track all my programs easily in one place, track my miles, find the best use for spending them or transferring them, and get reminders so that my miles don’t expire! On top of this, you now offer this great opportunity to extend my AA miles! Thank you
Was looking for a way to save my miles from expiring without having to travel during this time period. Thanks Award Wallet!
I’m so glad to have the expiration of my AAdvantage miles averted thanks to AwardWallet gifting me 5 miles for posting here! A cool little trick to get around AA’s lame miles expiration policy, and I suppose also to encourage new signups on AW 😉
So glad I’ve discovered this. Can’t wait to use my points for future travels and not have it expire on me. Definitely appreciate that AwardWallet is doing this for those in a tough situation.
First time user of award wallet – really surprised how easy it was to setup and track all my award points.
Will definitely use this site to track points
Thanks, great way to preserve miles as we took a break from traveling for a while.
Great service – thanks. I have 900,000 miles expiring in 2 mos.
I wish award trips counted towards keeping your account up to date like Marriott or Hyatt.
Great to discover AwardWallet!
My AA miles are expiring on July 1, but I am based in Europe, hence with limited travel options.
I also just realised I could earn AA miles by using Booking.com, to book a room in my city; however they would take 6-8 weeks to post..not quick enough.
Thanks a lot for your suggestions to earn miles in a quicker way!
This is so cool. My AA miles are expiring in July and I have typically had to find ways to either acquire or donate miles. Will definitely let friends and families in on this 🙂
thank you for this post. exactly what i was looking for.
Thank you award wallet for sharing this update to AA miles. My wife and I primarily fly Delta as we live in a Delta hub, not giving up May opportunities to keep AA miles active!
First-time user of “Award Wallet”.
How it did / does it, I don’t know but I was pleasantly surprised that it found a hotel reservation I have for later this year [October] !
Thank you AwardWallet, for giving us an easy and quick way to re-activate our points! My AA miles are expiring July 1, and I’m living outside the US at the moment, so this is pretty much the only way I can reactivate my points meaningfully (since I am unable to fly AA before July 1).
It’s sad that some airlines don’t let AwardWallet track their miles. I think a little less of United because of their policy. What is fantastic is the value that AwardWallet adds, making it easy to track miles with various carriers. It’s even better with the recent AA bonus miles for leaving a comment. If that promo was available for other carriers it could easily justify the annual fee, especially if there were email alerts about expiring miles and a link to a task which would keep the miles alive. Maybe a survey, maybe a purchase, or maybe a comment. Anyway, for the AA miles Thank You AwardWallet!
Thanks for sharing this. My AA miles were on the verge of expiry and now I’d be able to keep it longer due to this post!
I’m curious how long it takes AA miles to post when you buy something through the shopping portal?
I really appreciate that AwardWallet reminds me before my miles expire 🙂
In these times it is difficult to keep miles and points from expiring. Thank you award wallet for allowing me to extend my American Airlines miles expiration date.
These blog posts are very helpful! Thank you.
The pandemic has definitely made me more cognizant of mileage expiration–before this, I’ve always flown enough through airlines that I never gave it a second thought. Now when I book future flights, I’m more inclined to book through airlines that don’t have mile expirations.
Thank you for this information and resources though. I’m excited to check out more of the award wallet blog posts and features!
This is such a great feature and a lifesaver given I do not have travel planned for the near future.
This really helps out as I don’t want to transfer my MR points…
Thangs for this reminder. It’s not easy to keep up during times like this.
This is my first time on Award Wallet. Looks great! Such an organized way to keep track of awards. I did not realize my AA miles were expiring.
If if would have known about Award Wallet earlier it would not have come as a surprise. Looking forward to using this site.
Looking forward to flying again, and this seems like such an easier way to keep track of all of my points and expiration dates. How did I not find this sooner?
This is awesome!
Looking forward to to my next flight soon!
I have been using AwardWallet for years to track various miles and points for airlines and hotels. I haven’t flown AA much due to the pandemic so I started looking for ways to extend my points that are set to expire in July and I came across this post. Thanks for adding another great feature!
I think that many people are going to have issues with their airline miles expiring this year due to the lack of travel. Even though it’s great that airlines have put a pause on expiration, airlines, such as Alaska Airlines, have convoluted policies.
For Alaska Airlines, technically your miles do not expire, but your account closes after 2 years of activity. How is one supposed to keep track of all this?
One of the best blogs on the net! Thanks for reminding me that my Advantage miles are expiring next month,
AwardWallet is a good choice to keep account active. Thank you very much!
While I’m disappointed AA is continuing to expire miles in 2021, I’m glad you have this program! Great idea.
Good to know we can keep miles from expiring, but how can I sign up wardWallet account? Thanks.
It seems that you have figured it out.
Thanks so much! AwardWallet has been super helpful for tracking point balances, and even better to be able to easily keep points from expiring while we haven’t been able to travel recently.
I want to receive 5 miles AAdvantege points. Mine is expiring in Aug 2021
Have been an AW member for years, makes it so much easier for me to track my points! Since Covid I have not been able to travel and continue racking up my AA miles. Thanks to AwardWallet I was made aware of my expiring American Airlines points so I could take action! I was going to buy miles to reset my expiry but thanks to their promotion they actually helped me get points and save miles!
I will be recommending to friends
Thanks for the reminder and strategies to extend my AA miles. Award Wallet is definitely a must use for travel hackers.
This site is great. Just installed the app and am adding all my points accounts to have everything in one place. I struggle to keep track of how many points I have and when they expire, so this is really helpful.
Very informative, a good way to earn extra and extending miles. Will check this page often. Thank you
Thanks for the great product! The Expire notice has been a saver many times.
Great blog. This is really helpful in keeping miles active. Thank you.
I appreciate that AwardWallet is helping American Airlines flyers figure out how to maintain their points at minimal or no cost. I plan to add my other reward program details as well to my account.
It was very disheartening that AA would wipe out so many customers frequent flyer points this year, even those at Platinum Medallion level.
Great way to keep my American Airlines points from expiring coming out of this pandemic. Thank you!
Great article! Thank you. Keep up the great posts! Really helps me navigate the travel landscape.
I usually use shopping portal purchases to extend miles, but if this works – WooHoo. In case it doesn’t work, does anybody have any cheap items they buy through the portals?
Thank you! Will these five points extend the expiry period for AA for another 18 months?
Wow – I am new to the game of FF points, partner-earning opportunities, credit cards offers, 2 player-mode, and the like. I would be completely lost without AwardWallet’s guidance and member advice.
Thanks so much! Happy Earning!
Drew
Looking forward to flying again soon!
I am introduced to AwardWallet by a friend. He said it would be a good way to keep track on loyalty program activities, especially the expiration dates. Given the Pandemic has wreck harvoc to the travels, quite a few of my loyalty program accounts now require monitoring of expiration dates due to there are zero activity the past 15 months.
Hopefully AwardWallet works as what the friend praised it for.
Thank you for providing this opportunity to try AwardWallet.
Welcome to the AW family. 🙂 Glad to have you as a member!
AwardWallet has been good for me. I had off-and-on thought about cancelling to save some money but a promotion to keep miles from expiring changes the value proposition, making it an easy decision to keep using AwardWallet. Not only does AwardWallet help track pending expiration dates but with this promotion AwardWallet helps keep them from expiring. It’s brilliant. Thank you!
Thanks for the reminder that my AA miles are expiring in early July!
This is a great opportunity to extend the miles expirations. Too bad they won’t just increase the time needed to have to renew.
The website looks great btw!
Thank you for the post. This was really helpful. I have around 9000 miles from AA and they are about going to expire in July. Even though thats not alot of points, I didnt want to lose them. Hopefully I can extend the miles for another 18 months since I dont plan on flying anytime soon.
I was just wondering if there wasn’t any service that could help me track all my miles and points and found this blog post. Thank you for the information och service that you provide. I’ll keep reading to learn more and also tell my friends about this. During the pandemic we have all been stranded and was discussing if we could keep our miles/points from expiring and here I have got some tips how we can do just that. Thanks!
Thanks!
Thank you for your service! What a great way to track my expirations.
Will Miles be extended again?
So thankful for AwardWallet and all it offers. Looking forward to begin planning safe travel again, now that my points won’t expire so soon.
I am so happy to be able to keep my points while not being able to travel during this virus time. Thank u Award Wallet and AA.
Louise
Thanks reward wallet for keeping my miles alive. You guys are the best
Wow, this is really helpful to help my account alive!
So glad I found this blog post! I have almost 100k miles about to expire and this made it really easy to keep myself from losing them. Thank you!
I am so glad I learned about this! My AA miles were going to expire soon but I have no future trips lined up. Will definitely share this tip!
After nearly 1.5 years and zero travel for work, so glad to find this option – clever and really great especially to those who had their work plans completely derailed the past year. Thanks so much guys for offering this service!
Thanks to AwardWallet for providing an easy way to keep my AA account active when I’m not traveling.
AwardWallet is always my first choice to keep my AA account active.
Very helpful of Award Wallet to have emailed me that my AA miles were soon to expire. Rather annoying that such a warning has not come from AA itself. Quite worth signing up to Award Wallet and linking my mileage accounts just for this feature alone.
Thanks Awardwallet for providing such a handy trick to extending our AA miles! I hope destinations open up quickly post-COVID!
I really appreciate American Airlines extending the expiration date for miles until June 30, 2021. Thank you very much American Airlines. I look forward to travelling again soon.
Thanks for allowing me to comment to extend my miles. I would recommend American Airlines for future trips and their miles program rewards customer loyalty.
Helpful post on keeping miles active.
Hello! Do you know with the activity, for how long does the miles extend? 1 month? Thanks!
Award Wallet = My hero! Thanks for helping us so we don’t lose points about to expire!
Does Miles for Opinions allow me to earn AA miles? I signed up but don’t see any surveys available.
5 points needed
I don’t understand why some airlines have their points expire due to inactivity from COVID-19. I’m glad there’s a way you can easily stay current with your miles by posting comments as I don’t have the money right now to purchase miles.
This is a great program for extending Airline miles due to the pandemic – as others did, I travelled extensively prior to the pandemic and expiring airline miles or hotel points was never an issue – AA should work with longtime loyal customers on this issue – Thanks for this post!!
Thanks for the easy method to extend the expiration in my account. This is an easy way to keep my points from expiring.
P.S. The new layout on the website looks great!
This is great, but provided the current travel situation it is something that should be done by AA, thankfully AwardWallet came to the rescue of our precious miles, and hopefully we will be able to spend them again. AA please take care of your loyal costumers!
There are several ways to keep AA miles from expiring such as booking, shopping, and so on. This is the best way to keep the miles without spending. Thanks for the post!
Thanks for providing a way to earn miles. One suggestion for this post is to include a direct link to the page to create a new account – took me a bit of looking around to find that.
I came across AwardWallet when I was searching for ways to extend my miles expiration–I wasn’t eager to buy miles and am not quite ready to schedule travel just yet. Love that fact that AwardWallet notifies you when your miles are about to expire–super helpful!
This is an awesome option that is available. could not have come at a better time. Thanks!
Hope my miles don’t expire next month 🙂
wow, best pro tip ever.
Glad to have the heads up about expiring points and an opportunity to preserve them using this AW blog method
Thank you, American! Can’t wait to fly with you again
This is a pretty good way to earn miles.
I live in Canada and frequently travel to the US for work. I’ve amassed a lot of American Miles through personal and work travel, but due to COVID I haven’t been able to fly in a while. Because I don’t have any credit cards that earn AA miles, my miles are now at risk of expiring!
I was looking for information on AA mile expiry due to COVID when I stumbled upon this blog, and I was pleasantly surprised to learn that I could also earn miles just by posting here.
I’ve also been managing all my reward accounts and mile expiry through a spreadsheet. Having signed up to AwardWallet, I’m excited to try out the platform – it looks like a far superior method.
This is a great way to keep AA miles alive! Thanks for doing this!!
I’m so pleased that I learned about Awardwallet! After a one-time posting of my travel-related accounts, this service automatically tracks my points with each one, and alerts me when points will be expiring so I can take action to avoid it if desired. Currently, this is helping me to avoid losing hard-earned AA miles.
All in one place — so easy. I really appreciate the convenience!
Found this site while looking for ways to extend the period before my miles expire. Living in Sweden haven´t given opportunity to travel to US for over a year and we are also locked out of all ways to increase miles by credit cards, so this community seems a good way to find new opportunities to get the best bang from bucks spent on travel (flights, hotels and car rental).
THANK you! I kept putting this off and in the process of researching discovered this clever tool / site, and signed our family up 🙂 great idea!
This is such an informative post! Thanks for the information Award Wallet!
This is such a fantastic way to keep miles from expiring! Love AwardWallet!
I stumble upon this blog post when I tried to find ways to avoid my AA miles from expiration. I looked into so many other methods and by far this seems the easiest way to earn miles. I’ve tried to book hotels through AA website, then later realized it has to earn miles in order to be considered a milage activity. I’ve also tried AA’s eShopping but for some reason, the mileage didn’t show up. I am hoping this time commenting on this blog post works! Thank you for posting this method. I look forward to joining this community and learning how other people manage their miles.
This website is super helpful! I didn’t know about how to keep my AA miles from expiring, and this was exactly what I needed!
Very cool!
This is awesome! My aa mile is expiring in a few months and I was trying to find a way to keep it from expiring without having to get a flight. I’m glad I came across this post. Thank you for having this awesome partnership!
I’m glad to not lose my aa-miles!
Award Wallet helps me keep track of miles and prevents losing them to expiration.
I’m happy to find AwardWallet as a way to keep track of my airlines miles. Getting my AA miles extended is a nice added bonus. Thanks AwardWallet!
This is the most helpful blog I’ve ever found! Thanks Awardwallet for giving us this option to extend our miles!
I’m excited to find your blog and website that provide helpful tips for earning miles from our upcoming travels as well as useful tool that keep tracks of earned miles by adding travel plans to my account.
Wish that AA would make the miles for lifetime, like Delta. I live in a city that does not have many worthwhile AA flights, so the AA Credit card is not worth it. Every 18 months it’s the same thing cough up some $$ or you loose the points, that is until I saw its post!!!!
I have both my own and spouse’s AA accounts in my AwardWallet. Can I indicated which to credit the points? Thank you for this!!
Yes, while leaving a comment
Thanks for offering this 5 points per comment service. It’s a great way to help us out where we haven’t been traveling due to COVID. Much appreciated!
I appreciate this service you are offering that will add miles to my Aadvantage account. This will give me more time to use my accrued miles towards a future trip!
An excellent of value-added content from AwardWallet. Without their email I may not have known my AA miles were expiring. Then, they provided a range of solutions with relevant partner offers. Finally, they provided members like me with a lightweight solution to the problem. Thanks AwardWallet!
Thank you for being a great resource! I love that AwardWallet conveniently tracks my miles and notifies me when my miles are about to expire. The current events articles are also very helpful to stay updated on the benefits that my cards offer.
So glad I found AwardWallet! 3 out of 4 of our family’s mileage accounts are due to expire soon, so this has saved us! I agree that points should have been held until 2022 to give people a chance to catch up. Thank you!
I was super surprised about my AA miles expiring. This is a nice way to keep it active. Thank you Award Wallet!
I first heard of this site when I was researching ways to avoid my AA points expiring due to lack of travel from COVID. I’ve been looking at the articles published on your site and really enjoying the reading. Keep up the great work!
Have been an AwardWallet member for many years- in fact I was an early adopter. The service seems to be getting better with time and I recommend it for tracking accounts and getting useful award travel info.
Your content is more valuable than ever given all the travel disruptions of the past year. Thank you!
I’m glad I found Award wallet to keep my American miles alive. I was shocked to see they expire in 7 weeksT hanks
A great innovation, thank you AwardWallet!
Thank you for this tool. Using the browser was easier than my phone to log in.
Found the website thru a friend. For a moment i thought there was no option to keep my miles.
Thank you so much!
My American Miles were about to expire next month and this helped me extend them!
This is a great service. I would have forgotten when my points were going to expire without using AwardWallet. I had planned on earning some AA points in the last 18 months, but with COVID that has just not happened. Being able to keep my accumulated points until I can use them next is a great service.
My story is, I had a Citi card that was linked to my AA account but I rarely used that card. So Citi closed the card after not being used for more than 6 months. When I got email notification about AA miles expiring soon, I tried to use that Citi card to extend my miles but it was invalid! So I searched online how to extend my AA miles and found this blog! This is such an easy way to save miles!! Thanks Awardwallet!
This 5 miles for commenting is a great life hack! I have 170k AA miles that are expiring in Aug 2021. Because of COVID in Asia, I have no way to travel. Thanks for doing this award wallet!
Love this website and all it offers. Earning miles so they don’t expire is a real bonus! Does the Advantage Dining program still exist and can you keep your account active that way as well? Thanks!
Wow, I just learned about this site, and I’m pretty excited! I have tried managing my miles manually in the past, and unfortunately let a lot of them expire. I’m absolutely not a fan of leaving money on the table, so I think AwardWallet will be a much better solution than a piece of paper in the desk drawer, or an excel sheet. Automation is always better than manual work 😉
Interesting new site for tracking my travel rewards. Looking forward to learning more about the benefits.
I heard about AwardWallet from another page that I follow. I had never heard of a site like this before, and never really did a good job of keeping track of points and miles. Today I get an email from AwardWallet saying my AA miles will expire. I would have NEVER known that before. This is really helpful, as is the link to more information on how to prevent that. Thank you AwardWallet!!
Happy to help! Welcome to the AwardWallet community 🙂
Thank you for this! I panicked when I realized that my miles were expiring, and with a quick Google search, found this article. I haven’t seen my parents since Sept 2019, and now that I’m pregnant and they’re vaccinated, I really want to go see them before the baby comes along! Thank you for sharing all the mileage extension options!
The option to easily reset the expiration timer for AA points is a life saver, especially since we’re still battling COVID. They really should have extended any expiring points until 2022.
Thanks for the helpful info on AA miles expiration.
Thank you for this chance to keep miles from expiring.
I found this site when looking for a way to extend my American Airlines miles. After reading the blog and looking at all the benefits, I will linking other rewards accounts. The deals page shows some really good deals. We were looking to take a quick trip to Denver and they had a round trip for $197. As soon as the “boss” approves I can book the trip.
I really appreciate your help keeping those American Airlines points from expiring. Thank you!
Very happy to not lose my miles!
Thanks for coming up with a way to help us save our AA points. I am planning on traveling soon, but this post is very helpful to help me keep my points until I’m able to fly again.
This is a great way to keep the American Airlines miles from expiring. Thanks for starting this partnership!
just created my awardwallet account, fantastic!
So clutch I found this – my miles are expiring in a few months!
So happy to have found this trick for keeping miles active, esp during the pandemic 🙂
This worked for accounts that weren’t mine. I managed to get 5 miles to both of my parents accounts to re-set their expirations. Awesome
This is really awesome and came just in time. I was looking for a way to keep my miles active past the current June 2021 grace period. 5 miles per comment is pretty generous, too. I’d have been happy with even a single mile per comment/day.
Do you think you can expand this awesome idea to other airline or hotel programs?
> Do you think you can expand this awesome idea to other airline or
> hotel programs?
Certainly, programs with “miles expire after XXX months of
inactivity”-policies would be the most interesting additions.
Thanks. This is a great way to keep my miles alive during the pandemic.
really glad that I found this article about extending my AA miles, this is probably the easiest and fastest way without any loopholes
thank you!
In addition to not being able to travel during the various Covid pandemic lockdowns, I am now immunocompromised. Therefore, despite being fully vaccinated, I need to wait for clearance by my physician as to when I can again safely travel by air. My last American Airlines miles were earned as a “thank you” from American when our flight from PHL to Athens was forced to turn around after 3 hours of flight because of a serious medical emergency. American did not have another available crew, but the passengers were remarkably understanding. Travel is a passion, so I am grateful for the opportunity to extend the expiration date of my American Airlines miles.
It’s fascinating how little I fly on AA living on the west coast – and I still have 100000+ miles to burn that are about to expire. I guess I’ll need to sort out a way to use them on post-pandemic adventures! Thank you for coming up with a way to ensure we don’t lose miles!
Glad I found this article as I got an email from AA about my miles expiring soon
Was searching for ways to prevent my AA award miles from expiring, and your site came up. Hope this works! Thank you.
WOW! easiest way to keep my AA account active. My wife and I just opened two accounts for our children. We were very happy to find out that AA miles no longer expire until you turn 21 (+18 months, so 22.5 years old)!!! so now they can earn and save their miles! :)))
AwardWallet has been such a life saver over the years for my entire family’s miles which would be dead and gone if I didn’t track them all here. Now trying to keep my few AA points from expiring. I’m sure I’ll find a use for them sooner or later.
Question here: does any activity count to toward extending miles? For example, I know that my miles are set to expire on July 1, 2021, but if I book a flight now for September (using a portion of these miles), will it extend the remaining balance of miles for another 1.5 years?
Just curious and thanks in advance.
Yes, assuming you mean AA miles, booking activity will reset expiration. (This isn’t the case for all programs).
Just discovered your site from ThatPointsGuy! Easiest way to keep the points from expiring, thank you!
WOW!!! This is incredible! I was looking for flights for the past month so that my miles won’t expire and I AM SO HAPPY to see that all I need to do is comment on this blog post to get some points and not let my miles expire. I am a little skeptical, but I hope it works. Also wondering how I will know that the points will not expire…????
Once you receive miles for the comment the expiration date for your AA account will be extended. You can also contact their representatives directly to double-check this if you want 🙂
After you leave comment, wait about 3-5 days, then check your AA account, you will see your expiration date extended!!
I really appreciate this info! We havent been able to travel due to the pandemic … i know you hear that 1000x a day… and my wife’x AA points expire soon. We look forward to traveling soon and continue to enjoy using AW.com!
Thank you so much for sharing this information. I used my AA points in 2019 to travel to Panama, and then had 10K left over. I’d love to not lose them, but I canceled my AA credit card because I no longer needed it (no travel due to COVID) and didn’t want to be hit with the annual fee.
This was such a helpful overview on how to save your miles! Thank you!
AwardWallet really is amazing! I haven’t looked at any of my loyalty accounts in months for obvious reasons (covid!) and thought it was going to be a hassle logging in after all this time, but then I remembered AwardWallet was able to check all my accounts in literally minutes!
Thanks for this information! I needed a way to expand my miles!
This is very helpful! a great way to extend AAmiles during the tail end (hopefully) of the pandemic..
Great way to extend expiring miles! Hope this works! But question is, how long is this option going to exist for for extending miles? I honestly wish we didn’t have to jump through hoops just to keep something we have earned. Especially when there is a pandemic which makes it difficult to travel and exercise our hard earned points. There aren’t too many places open that I even want to go to right now anyway.
Great post about AA expiring miles!
Awardwallet is fantastic, thanks for making this much easier!
Award Wallet, thanks for always helping me to extend my miles!
Thanks for such informative posting. Now I found the most convenient, easiest way to extend my AA miles !
Awardwallet is such a great tool, thanks for the ability to easily extend expiration of AA miles!
AA needs to be more proactive about expiry notifications.
This is a great benefit for AwardWallet members. Thank you for continuing to innovate and keep the members engaged in the AwardWallet community.
Just discovered your site. Thanks for the easy way to keep my miles from expiring.
Thank you! I appreciate your providing this service
Thank you for providing an easy way to keep my miles active!
This is such a great way to keep an account active! I haven’t traveled during the pandemic and came upon this article as my miles are expiring soon, and I’m so glad I found it! All of the information is so helpful and does a great job of clarifying questions. Thank you again for providing such a detailed article!
The AwardWallet site was unknown to me, but I must say it is of very high value in particular for people not residing in the US, but having US airline frequent flier accounts (like me e.g.) Living in Europe, I can’t have a US credit card to earn miles, so when not travelling during Covid I see miles in great risk of expiring. The tips and tricks on AwardWallet are most valuable, and I will share the with friends in the same situation.
I’m going to see if I can do this to extend my parent’s exipration dates. I’ll report back if successful.
It was successful. It was great to help keep my parents miles alive without forcing them to jump through hoops they wouldn’t understand
Thanks for publishing this blog post about AA miles expiration! I wouldn’t have known that my miles were expiring otherwise, and I really appreciate the notification email that I received, which conveniently linked to the blog post about how to extend them! It’s a really great user experience.
Thank you, I really aprecciate this!
Thanks for helping me to extend the expiration of miles for AA!
Thanks for such a great tool to keep up with my accounts and miles!
It’s a great service particularly for someone based outside North America without ready access to miles earning options.
Explored this website – seems great information on multiple airline miles etc. Also, keeping track of multiple miles programs.
I appreciate you guys doing this. Huge lifesaver since I haven’t flown AA in a while!
Wow wish i knew this earlier! I will give it a try, hopefully I can get it like others did! Thanks!
Great!
What a life saver. Thank goodness for resources like this one during this strange time. Back to flying soon, though!
AA miles used not to expire and the new policy seems entirely unhelpful (save, perhaps, to AA’s accounts as contingent liabilities expire).
Thank you for the great info! This is really useful for ‘casual’ traverlers!
AwardWallet is really a lifesaver. I really do not have the opportunity to travel amid this Covid-19 pandemic. The reminder from AwardWallet lets me know I have lots of points which are going to expires soon… OMG! What should I do to save my points! Luckily enough, I found AwardWallet provides lots of ways to save my points. Here I come！
Thank you for this great service!
Can’t tell you how big of a lifesaver this is. I’m starting travel again post pandemic just after my miles are set to expire. Thank you!
Have got 7k AA Miles expiring in July. Thankfully this comment can saves those miles. Thanks so much AwardWallet!
I’ve learned more from this site on how to use miles most effectively across airlines and cards. Thanks for maintaining this great site.
This is the second time I’ve used this awesome AwardWallet option to keep my AA miles from expiring. It’s super helpful – thanks!
I’m glad AwardWallet helps keep track of mileage expiration for me. I’ve had significant miles expire right out from under me without realizing it. Now, even better, I can avoid that expiration just by making this post. Great service!
I was worried my points were going to have to expire, I don’t have much as it is and I didn’t want to lose those. Thank you very much. Great Service
Hi, I’ve been using AwardWallet for 10 years now and it’s a valuable service!
A couple comments:
– My Amtrak account wasn’t updating and AwardWallet told me to “use Forgot Password” – which wasn’t very helpful, and wasn’t clear if it was on Amtrak’s site or AwardWallet’s. What I needed to do was edit the account and update the password.
– Your site would really benefit from a redesign to make it easier on the eyes! Especially the dark mode is aggressive.
Thank you for the feedback! In case of any issues please contact us via this page: https://awardwallet.com/contact so we would be able to assist.
As the grace period for expiration comes to an end soon, many of us with AA miles are looking for a way to keep them active until we can travel again. Thank you for making this possible!
Great info to avoid expiration of my AA miles — thanks!!
Thank you for the tip. I’m a new user of AwardWallet, so far I really like the app. and love to read more tips.
With the current Covid restrictions for travel to/from the U.K. it is vital for any person with mileage nearing expiration to check their accounts. Fortunately for me AwardWallet have given me enough time to extend my soon to expire AAdvantage miles by giving me the opportunity to post this warning. It really is an outstanding service.
I haven’t traveled in quite some time due to the virus, and just realized my AA miles are going to expire imminently. Found this blog post in the nick of time. It’s good to know you can always donate in a pinch to refresh the timer.
Thanks AwardWallet for extending the expiration date of my AA miles!
Thanks for letting everyone know about free options for extending their mile expiration!
First, thank you for the notification that there is this option to add some AA points.
One thing I’ve noticed is that as many online sites have increased their security systems, to include dual factor authentication and the use of Captcha, it is becoming harder for my Award Wallet to update. It would be useful if there were a way to authenticate without having to go back and manually log in to each site now. Otherwise, Award Wallet is really not as useful as a “one stop shop”.
Just my 2 cents!
Thanks!
Thank you! If you have any other requests we recommend sending them via this page: https://awardwallet.com/contact
My expiration dates did NOT CHANGE since I wrote the comments. Does anyone know why not?? Thanks. Is there something I have to do?
Did you select your AA account while posting the comment? Please try using a different web browser and make sure you are signed in to your AwardWallet account before leaving a comment. Ensure that you have at least one AA account that is correctly updating. Besides, please consider clearing your AwardWallet cookies/cache. Browser cookie caches sometimes become corrupt, which is out of the control of AwardWallet.
Haven’t used AA Miles in a while. AwardWallet offers several different options to keep your points from expiring.
This is a lifesaver. Thanks!
Wow this blog is amazing! I spent hours racking my brains on how to spend AA miles before their expiration in 2 months and then realized that through this I am not forced to buy junk I really dont want to. Thanks Awardwallet!
If I’m logged into AwardWallet and not getting the pop-up to select the right AA account, what am I doing wrong? It worked a couple of days ago…

Many thanks for helping my miles to stay on !
This is a brilliant idea, I love awardwallet!
Giving people the option to earn miles and keep existing AAdvantage miles from expiring by commenting is easy – it’s good customer service. I hadn’t used AwardWallet in a long time, and this was a great way to remind me how valuable it is. Thanks for making this process easy.
Thanks for providing such an easy way to keep my miles from expiring!
Thanks for keeping my miles active!
Thank you for the detailed explanations about Americal Airlines Miles. And thank you for your service!
Thanks AwardWallet for the tips on keeping my miles active!
Thanks Awardwallet!
This is such a useful tip! With Covid cancelling travel plans it has been hard to have account activity. Extending miles by leaving comments is a great tip! It also caused me to set up an Award Wallet account. Win win.
I’ve been using Award Wallet for years and it’s fantastic for tracking absolutely everything. No competitor comes close!
This is a big help! Award Wallet alerted me my miles were set to expire soon and also provided the way to keep them from doing so!
Great resource!
This is awesome , I kinda stumbled upon your blog from the points guy site .
I didn’t know what I was missing . Super useful for managing my points .
Thanks !
Do you know how long the next round of “expirations” will be?
We will update the blog post as soon as we know anything about this!
Great resource and top notch information. Extremely happy I found this site. Will be using it all the time for my travel awards/rewards related information.
I’ve been sitting on my AA miles for a long time, hoping to make good use of them when the world gets back to normal, fingers crossed
Thank you AwardWallet for letting me have an option to keep my miles from expiring, as we are still not allowed to travel from Singapore unless for certain approved reasons.
I really appreciate AwardWallet as a one stop shop for keeping track of award miles programs. Otherwise it would be difficult to keep each program current, especially during these restricted travel times. Thanks to monitoring them for me, i will get to save almost 20,000 miles. Thanks to American Airlines as well for pausing miles expiration during COVID.
Thanks AwardWallet for the tips on keeping my miles active!
Thanks very much for helping to keep my miles active, AwardWallet! I found out about this blog from ThePointsGuy. I am unable to redeem my points for travel during this pandemic, but using this blog to earn miles and prevent points expiration is definitely helpful. I will be reading future blog posts to learn as much as I can about airline miles and making the best use out of them.
Thank you Award Wallet for helping me keep track and for an easy way to keep my miles active!
I can’t wait until we can all travel again.
Amazing. This is a great service. Love AwardWallet.
This is great information. Thanks!
Thanks for the tips on keeping my miles active!
Thanks you AwardWallet, I’ve been using your app for many years to keep track of all my loyalty programs and I tell all my friends about it!
I truly appreciate the services offered by AwardWallet. In addition to keeping track of hotel and airline points, it has been very helpful in reminding me when mileage points expire as well as flight changes. I have have been a member of AwardWallet for several years now and it is worthwhile to protect miles and keeping informed.
I will be taking my first flight in three months. Unfortunately it’s with China Eastern which is no longer a partner AA. So thanks for the offer to keep my AA miles alive!
Super happy to use this service to maintain a valid account. Thanks Awardwallet
Great blog post to keep miles from expiring. Just one more indication that American Airlines is understanding and in it for the long haul as a company
Thanks for tracking all my points, AwardWallet! I think your service is great.
I signed up to extend my American miles. I hope it works. I didn’t realize how quickly my miles could expire. I pretty much fly exclusively United or American half and half 6-12 times a year but haven’t flown since Jan 2020. The pandemic feels incredibly long and at the same time incredibly short.
In order to set up an account here I needed to give my American login password. I guess that’s how websites like this work, but I’m always leery of giving one website another website’s password. It seems less safe. Any reassuring comments?
No need to worry! Your security is our top priority. You can find all the information on our security practices here: https://awardwallet.com/faqs#10
Thanks for helping me save the few AA miles I have. I’m impressed with how people hack their trips so well.
I received an email from AA saying that if one joins their anniversary celebration sweepstake, the miles will be extended. I did join and the miles are still shown to expire on July 1st. Anyone with similar experience?
Thank you for this post. This is awesome! Especially this year with COVID-19 and travel pause for Business, it is helpful to not loose miles previously accrued.
I would’ve lost a crushing amount of points/miles the past year if not for AwardWallet’s reminders about point expiration. Despite most travel being put on hold for 15 months, AwardWallet continues to ensure that the show will go on once this is all behind us. So thankful for that!
Thanks for the updates!
It is very comforting to know companies out there are considering the welfare of, and impact on, their customers during this pandemic. It is affecting many people economically in many ways and this is just one way to help them out financially (keeping earned miles from expiring). Thanks.
I’m grateful that I can track my family’s travel rewards in Award Wallet, not just my own. My mother would never bother, but I’m able to save her and me money by handling it for her. Woot!
I am truly grateful to Award Wallet! The folks there, with their attention to detail and serious desire to help people travel affordably have saved me money by helping me see when points are expiring, so I can do something about it! Love it!
Thank you, AwardWallet for keeping me up to date with all my ‘miles’ accounts … and providing a quick, easy way to add miles to my account❣️
This tip is very important! Now i can know what to do when my miles are expiring! Great info.
Thank you! This article saved my miles 🙂
Thank you for allowing my American Airlines points to not expire. Much appreciated!
Thanks! Lets see does this work out
Best way to extend your miles, I used to get magazines that no one reads these days.
The Award Wallet membership is priceless, when you manage many accounts.
Thanks to AwardWallet for keeping track of mileage expiration date. That’s one less thing to keep track of!
Thanks for such a convenient way to keep miles fresh
Thanks for posting about this. I haven’t been able to travel to the USA due to Covid Restrictions so it’s good to know that this is an option to keep miles active!
I can’t wait to start flying again, and using my AA miles that were going to expire if not for AwardWallet and this blog. Thank you!
Travel restrictions during the pandemic have had far reaching effects. One effect is the potential for Advantage miles to expire. I was glad to get the notice of the expiration date in time to take precautions. I saw that American had partnered with the Red Cross so that donations could earn miles as well. Great combination assuming the donation also extends the expiration deadline. Do you know if it does?
We covered this topic here: https://awardwallet.com/blog/american-airlines-miles-expire
Thank you for keeping us informed and for providing a way to extend mileage awards during the pandemic, I am looking into the Bask Savings Account too. Does anyone have any experience with the bank? Fees? Minimums? Thx!
I really like the way Awards wallet keeps their eyes on my rewards when I cannot. I like the program and how it recommends the best rewards credit cards. I think awards wallet should have their own credit card that can store all the rewards in one place.
As for American Airlines policy, I am somewhat disappointed in their cancelling earned rewards just because people are afraid to travel during Covid.
I also think that they should consider non-stop flights from Tampa to BWI airport. Southwest supports 7-9 daily non-stop flights but that you cannot earn first class seating with their miles. A business class ticket just gets you on the plane sooner!?
I wish I could do my usual business trips with American so I could earn American points for business class travel.
Thanks,
Jerry
Any suggestions on getting AA points for a past trip (earlier in 2021)? I don’t have the ticket #s anymore, but could dig out the Reservation Locator ID. Looked at their site and didn’t see much help there…
If you have the record locator, I’d suggest searching your email for that PNR. In AA’s confirmation email, you’ll find the ticket number under the “Your purchase” section of the email.
This blog was very helpful in 2 ways. How to gain miles quickly before my miles expire. I had not not known that before! Thank you!
Wow, I am glad that Awardwallet saved me from losing my miles. I am a long time member and very thankful for the service! I am very curious how you actually can gift 5 miles at a time. Transferring miles on American’s site can only be done in 1000 mile increments, and they charges a very large fee!
Thanks for this! My AA miles expire soon and I haven’t seen the expiration date extended from the 40th anniversary celebration yet.
AwardWallet has been a great tool for keeping track of miles across multiple earnings platforms. Also, you all provide great information about new opportunities for earning points/miles through a variety of offers and you do this without overwhelming my email box which is a huge bonus when we have so much email to manage. Thanks for offering such a helpful and effective platform to make it easier for people to explore the world around them without breaking the bank!
Been following Award Wallet since the beginning! Loving how far it has come. It’s been super helpful to say the least to track everything in one place. Thanks for all the hard work!
Thanks for this great choice!!! 5 stars!
This was incredibly helpful! Was nervous about expiration and this provides a great way to keep those miles fresh. Thanks for doing it!
Thanks for giving us this unique opportunity to prevent our AAdvantage miles from expiring!
This is great – I didn’t travel much pre-pandemic, but don’t want to lose what I had. Can’t wait to try again in the future.
Excellent idea and a great way to maintain miles. The blog is a wonderful resource for the community
This is a really creative value add you’re providing your users with. I personally thank you for this!
Big thanks for your continued support, really helpful to prevent my AA miles from expiring especially during the current hard time!
Thanks for this helpful info!
This is a great way to engage with Award Wallet and keep AA miles current. We have multiple family members on this account so am curious to see how this will work with non-primary members. Thanks again!
Between this and the 40th anniversary giveaway lots of ways to get AA miles!
Thanks to AwardWallet Blog for all the great advice, especially the lessons on the preservation of expiring AA miles. Commenting is the best deal around.
American Airlines really looks bad letting miles expire during a pandemic when we’re not supposed to travel. Thanks for giving me a way to get more miles to extend them, Award Wallet.
We love award wallet! This is my second post regarding how great it is that award wallet helps us keep our American Airlines miles active. (for some reason the 5 points never made it to my account) so I am posting again! I have not been able to travel due to the pandemic so thank you for keeping my points valid with american airlines. Greatly appreciate it!
Thank you for this easy way to extend miles on American Airlines.
This is a fantastic way to keep AA miles from expiring during the pandemic. I’m starting to plan travel again for the summer and fall, but my AA miles would’ve otherwise expired before I could redeem them. Beyond the American credit, AwardWallet has been great at helping me keep track of my rewards points across many different accounts. Thank you!
Thank you for the ability to extend the expiration date. Since we have not been traveling or eating out it has not been easy to earn miles. This saves me from having to buy them! I thought having the credit card kept the miles from expiring, but it didn’t, so I cancelled it for now, since we weren’t using it anyway.
Great Blog, great opportunity to prevent my miles from expiring. Love it!
Thanks awardwallet! This is the third time awardwallet has notified me on expiring points now, which has obviously been super helpful to keep track of various accounts.
I really appreciate that you have this option as a way to keep my miles from expiring. I was getting pretty nervous.
Thanks for providing a way to extend mileage awards when we are not traveling during the pandemic, following public health guidelines and working within the local community to direct our resources to the most vulnerable. Thank you for putting safety first, American Airlines.
This is a great idea! Thanks to AwardWallet for keeping track of my miles even when I’m not traveling anywhere. 😊
it was very good to know that!
Thanks for introducing this program to extend AA moles by posting. Seems silly these workarounds are required by certain carriers, particularly given that recent travel aspirations have been significantly impacted for many by the Covid pandemic.
This is great – It’s sometimes hard to have activity since my business travel has been restricted, and I don’t know if the miles from the recent 40 year anniversary will post in time! Also, thanks for the notice that mile-expiration is delayed until July!
Great
Is there any indication as to whether the delayed expiration will be extended past June 30?
This tip kept me from having to purchase miles. Thanks!
I manage quite a few reward accounts. I have no idea how I would keep up with them all without AwardWallet. What a great service and value!
Oh no. My AA miles are expiring. Help!
Great blog! Great news and very good information! Thanks!
This is a great perk to using AwardWallet. I’ve been using AwardWallet for years, but this is my first time checking out the blog.
Thank you for these tips; this is very helpful. As someone that routinely traveled 2-3 times per month, I never paid attention to mileage/point expiration. I was going through my inbox and stumbled across an email from AA.com about my miles — which have been accumulating for over a decade — were set to expire this summer. While I’m sure I’ll get back to traveling for work eventually, I have nothing on the horizon.
Super helpful, thank you so much!
Thanks for Great tip, 👍
What a great idea. Very low cost for AwardWallet, but very high value for travelers to make sure miles/points don’t expire.
I had not heard of this site before being directed here by a friend, and am now exploring around – seems like a very useful way to keep track of my multitude of loyalty programs. I used to do that in a spreadsheet, lol, but it was hard to keep up to date.
I’m glad there are ways for customers to save their hard earned mileage points through these uncertain times. 🙏🏾
Like others, I have not been traveling during the pandemic. I am thrilled to learn ways to keep the miles I have accumulated over the years (and even earn more without going anywhere!). I didn’t realize that the expiration date didn’t apply to children. It was a relief to know that I don’t have to worry about them losing their rewards as well. Thank you. I look forward to the day that we’re ready to travel again!
Just a suggestion. You might want to send a notification through email whether a comment was approved
I’ve been a loyal Aadvantage member for years and years, and prefer American when I fly to any served destination. I think it’s very kind of AA to defer expiration of miles at a time when kindness is needed most. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for providing this! I missed the days before pandemic and never worried about miles expiring. Hopefully, the world can be back to normal later this year, or next year…
Just set up my Award Wallet account and linked my points. What lifesaver! I didn’t realize my AA miles were expiring, and it let me know. Thank you for putting all of this information into one place!
I kept putting off figuring out how I was going to save my precious AA miles after not being able to travel for so long, and this is just perfect. Another reason to love AwardWallet!
Okay, so I already thought that Awardwallet was awesome, but this top up deal? Killer.
Glad I saw this before my points expire! Got some travel planned and can make use of these.
Thanks for the information and the article, this is a great way to extend the expiration date on my miles. This is Great!!
This is an amazing benefit! So glad I found out about this, especially with travel so unappealing now that Covid is sticking around…
Can’t thank Awardwallet team enough for this kind gesture to keep the points active!
During this time of uncertainty, it’s awesome that there’s a way to keep m points active. I hope that we can all stay safe and be traveling again soon!
I am hoping to plan a trip to Hong Kong, and really appreciate all the advice and organization that AwardWallet and it’s community provides!
Bless your souls!
So glad I found this website! I have so many different travel reward accounts for different airlines and hotels and this will be incredibly helpful for keeping track of them all in one place. Even just entering all my accounts in I learned of hotel points expiring 3 months from now that I had no idea about!
This is a free way to keep my AA points from expiring! Thanks!
Just learned about Awards Wallet while searching for ways to keep my AA miles active. What a great service! Loyalty programs are useless if you can’t keep track of them. Thanks Award Wallet!
Great info! Thanks
AwardWallet helps me keep track of all of my points, miles, and expiration dates. Very thankful for them!
I just found out about this site today and the offer to credit points to AA account prompted me to sign up today.
Thank you for letting me know about the revised expiration dates. AwardWallet ia something I have used since 2011 to manage all my airlines and credit cards points. Thanks again, AwardWallet. 🙂
It’s great to have a program to keep my miles given the covi-19 situation. Really wish this adversity go away asap.
This is a great chance to prevent my miles from expiration. I hope covid-19 go away and get the times to travel a lot.
Thanks for sharing this information!
Keeping track of miles during times of reduced business and personal travel is crucial and thanks to AwardWallet I receive email reminders when my points are at risk of expiring. Truly a great service!
Thank you for offering this service – it is a great way to earn additional points plus to keep points from expiring
I am thrilled to learn how to not let my miles expire. June 2021 isn’t enough time to be regularly traveling again and award wallet helped me preserve my bank
I wasn’t aware there was an expiration on miles and I have quite a few that would be expiring if it weren’t for award wallet sending me a heads up and explaining what to do to easily extend the deadline!! Really appreciate it among the many other great services provided.
I’m so glad I can keep my miles from expiring. Thank you Award Wallet.
I love AwardWallet. I have numerous accounts and loyalty balances and AwardWallet is the only way I can easily navigate and manage these accounts so I can use them to their full value (and keep my sanity)! I don’t even have to remember to check AwardWallet when they send an automatic email with new account balances after recent transactions.
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. A service that aggregates all my awards programs AND offers a bonus simply for engaging? During COVID that’s especially helpful to me, as I travel less and might have expiring points.
Far better site and service than the competitors (points guy, etc.). Well done Award Wallet. Thx.
Thanks AwardWallet. I have been able to extend my AA miles expiration and earn some too.
Thank you so much for emailing me a heads up that my AA miles would expire! I appreciate you looking out for us.
This is good to know. Thanks!
Posting to extend expiration of my AA miles. Hopefully getting closer to being able to actually travel again and use those miles! Thanks AwardWallet for helping me keep track of my kids’ miles and my miles and extend expirations until we can use them.
I was very happy to have found and read your article on earning AAdvantage program bonus miles just for commenting on the article here. Given the current situation with Covid-19 and the lack of travel it has created, I was concerned about what I needed to do to keep from having miles expire in that program due to lack of travel.
I think this article and method could help others as well because I was thinking I may have to buy some miles just to keep my account in good standing. This method allows me to continue to bank my miles and not have to speculate by purchasing miles that I do not have a specific plan to use.
Thankyou again,
I dont like using credit card related opportunities to add miles. Often there are annual fees.
I’ve told many friends and family members about AwardWallet and their partnership with AAdvantage miles. Most have taken advantage of the ability to extend the expiration date of their hard earned miles. Not sure why anyone who is aware of this would not take advantage of this outstanding opportunity.
Thanks for keeping us aware of the revised expiration dates and offering easy ways to keep miles from expiring!
Great blog and great way to extend the expiration date on my miles, thanks a lot!
Is the current sign-up bonus on the AA MileUp card (10,000 miles + $50 credit) worth taking advantage of, or do they sometimes increase the bonus?
This is the general offer on this card. I haven’t seen a higher offer – but that doesn’t mean one might not come around later. This isn’t a great sign-up bonus, but it’s not bad for a no-annual-fee card and only a $500 spending requirement.
Thanks Award Wallet! I really appreciate you picking up the slack for airlines that don’t seem to have a pulse on the needs of their customers!
I have been an Award Wallet user for 5 years now and find it indispensable not only for keeping track of my airline mileage accounts but also informing me of expirations, promotions, and other ways to use my miles most effectively. thanks!
This is an absolute gem of a find – thank you so much for helping us keep those miles from expiring!
I left my initial comment nearly a month ago but apparently did not hit the assign miles to this AA account. Hopefully this comment will correct that oversight.
I live in the UK and this is a great way to preserve my AAdvantage air miles.
Being in the UK I cannot take advantage of the majority ways to keep my AA miles. Awardwallet allows me to easily keep my miles whilst we navigate this unprecedented time with travel extremely limited.
This blog is great!
I’m really glad I read the most recent blog post before just buying miles. This site anyways had great and informative articles.
Award Wallet is a critical part of my points & miles management. The AA miles for commenting is such a great feature.
I was looking at the blog for ways to keep my AA miles from expiring and found this post, Thank you so much
Truly love this platform, having signed up for several reward programs with flight, hotel and credit card rewards, offering one location to keep track of them all is an amazing value for me. The most important feature for me is the automated responses I receive from AwardWallet when my points are about to expire. It’s saved me from losing points on several occasions. If that wasn’t enough, AwardWallet even offers this promotion where they’ll issue you miles just by engaging with the community via comments. I’ll be a member for years to come.
Great idea !
Lifesaver! I had no idea saving my miles could be this easy! Thank you!
What a relief to find AwrdWallet and keep my AAdvantage miles from expiring. Thanks.
You Guys Are Awesome!
Thank you for this offer without which I would have lost my points.
Thanks to awardwallet for providing useful information on how to extend miles that are expiring soon! Life saver!
This is a very interesting promotion. An extremely easy way to prevent your AA points from expiring
This is an amazing promo! Glad I came across it.
