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.

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!
I can’t believe I’ve only just found Award Wallet, and its a life saver for my AA points as I can’t fly anywhere for a while, TY!
Hi I will be moving to the US next year with work and have AA points, but for domestic flights is this the best reward programme?
This is so helpful!! Because of covid, I haven’t traveled in over a year and my airline miles are going to expire soon. I am so glad to have found award wallet to help me extend my miles and track everything going forward!
Commenting on the AwardWallet blog certainly seems like one of the most convenient ways to earn points. And it’s free!
AwardWallet is such a handy and thoughtfully designed tool. It takes all the guesswork and complexity out of the wild world of points. I wish every service I used was designed with the user experience as front and center is this one. Thank you for all that you do!
Hopefully we are able to travel in safety soon!
Love AwardWallet, the gift that keeps on giving… miles!
Great service to provide those with a few miles to keep AA from expiring. Thanks much!!!
I’ve been brainstorming ways to prevent my AA miles from expiring in a couple months. I don’t have any travel plans at the moment and didn’t want to open a new credit card (in the middle of buying first home!). I was set on buying something online via the AA shopping portal but my frugal self did not know what to buy. This post allows me to resets the expiration of my AA miles for another 24 months. Thanks AwardWallet!
This is great for extending miles when traveling was halted for so long. Thanks!
Would love to keep my miles pre pandemic alive through this program
A friend tried these ideas to extend mileage expiring and it worked great!! A very big help for those of us that haven’t traveled this past year.
I like the various options to extend miles listed in this article. I will share it with friends who are also concerned about miles expiring. Thanks!
Thank you so much for giving us travelers this valuable information! Expiring miles during the pandemic is a real problem, and you guys are helping with the solution.
Excellent! Really appreciate the service. Glad I saw this blog to save my AAdvantage miles.
Great trips on the phone when you call AA. SO HELPFUL
I was pleasantly surprised to see that Award wallet is still generously offering this promotion. I haven’t been traveling due to Covid and am jumping back into Award Wallet! Thanks!
Helps me keep reminders of when my miles may expire
Cannot recommend this enough for those with an AAdvantage account, living outside of America and miles that are due to expire anytime this year. With so many restrictions on travel and even hotel stays, this offer just simply kicks the can down the road, but for 18 months at a time. And in all honesty, there’s nothing to stop you from leaving suitable comments across the AwardWallet blog daily. I know it’s only 1825 miles for the year, but it’s free miles that might make the difference for a booking one day and means that the expiry date is always being pushed back 18 months each time…. Thanks AwardWallet…
Exactly what is says on the tin. Opened an AwardWallet account, linked my AAdvantage account and posted a comment on the blog. Waited for approval and then a few days later, I received an email from AA to advise that the points had been added to my account. Nearly 100,000 points extended for another 18 months, thanks to a simple and easy to use process. What’s not to love…
This is such a helpful post. I just learned about this blog and didn’t know anything about the bank account either! For people just beginning they are award programs this is a wonderful place to start.
I’d joined AwardWallet years ago but frankly haven’t used it for a while. My wife recently got notice that her (very few) AA miles would expire soon, so I was looking for a way to extend them via some activity. We don’t plan to fly anywhere for some time due to the pandemic. Heck, even going INSIDE of a restaurant will be very rare for some time.
The ability to comment on your blog to earn/extend points is slick. It will keep me coming back.
Thanks!
Agreed.
This is such a strange situation all over the world. How are things in the states? All I read about that here in my country is that ´practically the whole population got the vaccino already, yet still I read comments in forums or blogs like yours and I cant help but wonder why is all the activity still restricted…
Here in my country vaccination is still on early stages, only this week they started with population 65+, having already gone thru 70+, 75+, even older and health professionals.
Wow. AwardWallet is the tool I’ve been missing in my churning journey.
It seems to be tricky to find other posts on this website (when I log in, I usually only see my accounts). It would be good to make the posts more visible somewhere. Otherwise, really useful website! Thank you.
Thanks for providing an option for extension of miles. American rocks!
I’ve been using AwardWallet for years, but never knew that it would help extend my American Airlines miles like this. Although disappointed that American didn’t push expiration out further due to the pandemic, this really helps. Thank You!!!
Handy not to lose Aadvantage miles through not travelling due to injury and Covid. Now we have all been vaccinated I can use a few of those miles to go and see my mother in England. She will be 96 in June and must be wondering where I’ve disappeared to.
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.
wow what a great tip! I had tens of thousands of miles about to expire and was able to utilize this tip to keep them from expiring! In the past I’ve also used AAdvantage dining to gain miles while enjoying a tasty meal!
Thank you AwardWallet! This is the easiest way to keep my AA miles from expiring.
Just joined AwardWallet and there is a lot of useful tips and deals on collecting miles. Good JOb.
It´s amazing to have this tip to renew my miles.
Thank goodness I found this post, I’m in no mood to purchase any AA miles at the moment lol
Going to come back daily to AwardWallet
Love Awardwallet, saved me so many times from miles & points expiring.
I am thankful that Award Wallet is still around giving out so much useful information such as this article.
After not traveling for over a year due to COVID, I’m looking forward to starting up again soon, but need to extend the life of my miles. This is a very helpful way to do that.
Very grateful for this service, especially during this stressful time. Thank you!
5 mile a day keeps the expiration away!
Just joined AwardWallet and wow, there is a lot of useful tips and deals on collecting miles. Definitely will be coming back daily. Plus it’s nice to get reminders when your points will expire.
Thanks for doing having this option! I appreciate the service, and hope that one day United will let us connect again.
Ahhh, great post! now that I’ve gotten my COVID vaccines, I’m working on getting all of my points and travel all back in order. My AA miles were about to expire, and this is absolutely the best info that I’ve found.
Thanks guys!
Matt
Glad to have an option to earn some AA miles and keep my miles active!
This was really interesting, and timely given the COVID-related delay in expiration. Thanks for the information! Sharing it along.
This is a really good thing to do to keep points alive during all the pandemic shutdowns. Thank you AwardWallet for giving us a reasonable and thoughtful way to keep our AA points alive.
I lost most of my points because of the pandemic. Appreciate your help.
The pandemic has been such a bummer on all our travel plans, but what’s worse is the messed up airlines miles expiry policies during these times. I’m glad AwardWallet has come to the rescue.
I had no idea that my AAdvantage rewards were expiring until I saw the email. I moved AwardWallet from the promotions section in gmail to my primary inbox so I make sure I don’s miss these important notifications in the future!
AA miles to expire. Thankfully this service keeps my miles safe for longer.
Wish other companies would allow it.
I’m a frequent traveler with both United and American, but unlike United miles that never expire, my American miles are set to expire in July. Like many people, I have avoided traveling during the pandemic so it has been nearly impossible to maintain activity on American. This blog is doing a tremendous service by allowing us to maintain our miles with American. I’ll be sure to spread the word about this incredible blog!
Is the 5 mile promotion still active?
Now this it about the easiest and best way to keep your points alive during all the pandemic shutdowns. I lost a bunch of points at OpenTable because I couldn’t use them! Frustrating! Thank you AwardWallet for giving us a reasonable and thoughtful way to keep our AA points alive.
This information is very helpful. I have accumulated some AA miles with work travel over the years and looking to redeem on a personal trip and saw that they were expiring soon. I’m new to the whole points/miles thing and have been doing a bit of research on the topic. Came across this blog and a good thing! Keep up the great info.
Thanks a lot for this option. I used to be a very frequent flyer to the states for work between 2004 and 2019, and then all hell came down on us. My job was disintegrated by the pandemic, and since I am from outside the US, and from a country with a very beaten up economy, keeping my miles alive was starting to look like too much an investment to fight for them. I hope this comment will work as intended.
Sadly, I discovered that I cannot link here my accounts for Delta and United mileage programs, but I think those miles wont expire. I will check them out after posting here. Is there any chance that they will be re added to manage them here?
Is there an option here in this blog to trade miles between users, or to buy or sell them? Or can anyone recommend a website for such purpose?
Again, thanks, will be coming here often.
Thanks for these great tips
This is an amazing way to keep my points active! Not having traveled since 2019, many of my points are expiring in the next few months. In the past, I’ve gotten a magazine subscription to keep my AA miles active, but that no longer seems to be an option,
Thank you AwardWallet and American Airlines.
Really loving these extra AA points.
AwardWallet rocks. I am and will continue to be a loyal user. Love how they are so innovative and customer-centric. Great app.
The mileage alerts provided by AwardWallet have helped me avoid losing miles in several accounts. Bravo!
I appreciate the service AwardWallet provides to keep me up to date with my numerous accounts, especially the alerts to upcoming miles expiration dates. It helps me avoid unnecessarily losing hard-earned miles.
Lifesaver! AwardWallet reminded me of my A/A miles expiring soon. I had completely lost track of those miles, since I had retired within the last year. Thank you, AwardWallet!
This is great news! We are looking forward to using these miles. Thank you for keeping us updated on important changes!
Just because expiration is paused, doesn’t mean one should stop keeping accounts active – when they end their pause you’ll still want good recent activity.
AwardWallet is a very cool site. Love that it keeps all the reward programs in one place.
i love American Airlines!
Thanks for the tips! Definitely don’t want to lose all these hard earned miles 🙂
Thank you Award wallet for providing us a way to keep our miles from expiring!
I’m so glad to find this way to prevent miles expiring – bravo, awardwallet!
Love this blog, thanks for sharing this great tip! 🙂
I just discovered AwardWallet and one of the really nice features is not just reporting your miles, but also the expiration dates. It’s easier to find in the app than it is on the airline sites! I might suggest a quick link be added in the app, to that airline’s “use miles” site, to make it really seamless.
What a useful service — much appreciated! We who are locked down by COVID finally have a perfect way to deal with the dilemma that our hard-won miles risk expiring.
Thank you for keeping my miles from expiring!
While it is great that AA prevented any mileage expiration during the pandemic, it would be nice to have reminders about future expiration dates. I used to travel 1-2 times per month for business but I do not see our company going back to that any time in the near future. overall a good program and easy to redeem.
I really wish I had known about this sooner. What a great way to make sure you build an active, engaged community. Nice one!
Thank you for this awesome promotion. This is really cool and an awesome way to save American miles from expiring. I’ve been an AwardWallet customer for a few years. Signed up with one of the early promotions for premium for super cheap for a few months/years and it finally expired in the last few months. Even your free product is awesome and plenty good for me (not traveling or churning as much as I used to like most folks haha).
I will add that I am constantly worried about devaluation now-a-days (looking at you Southwest!). With the recent Alaska improvements/changes I suspect something will be coming soon.
Woah, so glad I joined AwardWallet. My Spam filter was blocking American Airlines emails, so I didn’t realise I was about to lose 70k+ points that I’d been saving up for next year (hopefully in the post-Covid era!)
Very helpful, thank you AwardWallet – I now need to link all my other awards accounts to flush out any other potentially nasty surprises.
Thanks for the reminder about miles expiring. It seems that’s doubly necessary during the low number of flights during COVID times.
Just stumbled across this – looking forward to commenting and taking advantage. Thanks for offering!
It is frustrating that airlines continue to make us jump through hoops to keep the miles we earned, especially since we are still in the midst of a pandemic. Thankfully AwardWallet has been extremely helpful in saving me from losing miles.
Not going to lie – this is the whole reason I signed up to AwardWallet – great way to to extend the life of my AAdvantage points, as otherwise they’d be expiring this summer, with no forseeable way to actively use my existing airmiles, as there’s no way to fly or even really book a hotel at this point where I live.
Leave it to the folks at Awardwallet to secure this nice little way to keep earning those AA miles. I have a preference for AA after terrible experiences with the insane UA…won’t even belabor that point, but I am also not interested in airlines taking on political positions. As a shareholder, I am interested in good earnings, as a passenger I am interested exclusively in safety! Thank you all for all you do in these troubled times!
Thanks to Award Wallet for monitoring my miles and expiration dates so that I can best use my cards. And not let things expire!! I certainly appreciate the reminders!!
I’m surely glad I was tracking my miles on AA with Award Wallet because I got an email reminding me that 180K miles were about to expire. That’s worth 2 round trips to the French Polynesia!!
Thanks for making it easy to extend miles!
This 5-mile award for a blog is a wonderful, little-know benefit of being an AwardWallet member.
Many thanks to Award Wallet for issuing some miles and extending my AAdvantage miles expiration date. Other features from Award Wallet such as recommending the best credit card to collect maximum points have been excellent.
cool thing, thx!
Time and time again, award wallet has helped me extend my AA miles. I’ve used award wallet the past few years and it is the best tracking tool of miles / points. Thank you!
That’s very helpful. For the past year of no traveling the points have kept piling up. Couldn’t track my miles and spending without you. Thanks!!!
My goodness. If it wasn’t for AwardWallet, I would have not even paid attention to these expiring AA miles. And now I’m actually quite disappointed in AA for only doing an extention until July 2021. Did they forget we are still in a pandemic? SWA extended my travel funds until Sept 2022! Let alone the companion pass was extended until December 2021.
Came here hunting for exactly this. Good to know!
I got my wife to sign up for AwardWallet so she can extend her AAdvantage miles expiration date, and earn a few extra miles along the way, too. Thanks again AwardWallet and AAdvantage.
Has anyone heard anything about AA considering permanently removing expiration? I read a random blog post (so random I can’t even find it again) that indicated AA was considering it, but that was a month or two ago, and I haven’t heard anything since or read anything similar anywhere else. Not putting too much faith in that one post – was just wondering if anyone else has seen/heard similar.
If it wasn’t for Award Wallet, I would have lost a bunch of miles! Thank you for the heads up and watching out for me and my accounts!
Thanks again for extending my AAdvantage miles expiration date!
Pandemic had been tough. Hasn’t been able to use my AA miles, this would help
The AwardWallet app reminded me that my points were due to expire in July this year. Very hard to earn/redeem points due to covid so appreciate everything you do via the app & this blog!
It is content like this why AwardWallet is so helpful. I would have never known my American miles were expiring–or the easiest way to keep them from doing so–without AwardWallet.
This is a great feature, thank you!!!
What a find! AwardsWallet organizes most of my credit cards, tracks points from hotels, airlines, Troon golf and even my FICO score. It keep me informed of expiration dates and options to extend the dates. It’s a great tool for anyone with multiple credit cards, airline & hotel loyalty programs.
Thank you AwardsWallet!
I recently used AA credits from a cancelled 2020 trip to Jamaica. I was able to contact an AA agent that rebooked us to St Croix for June 2021. The best thing is that AA is still allowing to rebook this flight without penalties, if we might need to.
Giving 5 miles for a post is a tremendous benefit of AwardWallet!
This is such a great service. I am very impressed. So grateful that my miles will not expire.
Looking forward to taking many special trips with my miles.
Thank you for saving my miles. This was very helpful. Thank you again.
Thank you Awardwallet for tracking my AA miles.
This is a good idea to help people renew their expiring AA miles. It’s a shame they’re expiring tbh.
I just found out about this from TPG blog. I live on a Caribbean island and have had travel challenges during COVID times. I have been searching everywhere to find out how to prevent my miles from expiring without having to fork out too much and this has been a very lucky find for me. Many thanks AwardWallet.
By far the best (and safest way) to ensure I don’t lose everything because of this awful virus. Kudos to AwardWallet. In my desperation to save points, I have found a neat little website I will be using and linking to in the future to help track everything. Thank you AwardWallet!
Thanks for helping me save my AA miles!
I’m so happy that this is a way to extend my miles – I cannot wait to travel but still want to see more of us vaccinated! Thanks, American Airlines and thanks AwardWallet!
I’ve been searching for a way to keep my American Airlines account active during COVID. THANK YOU AwardWallet. Also learning all the interesting features of AwardWallet. 🤞🤞🤞 😉
What a great resource for extending miles! Thanks you.
Would love it if we could attach pictures or emojis to add value to relevant comments / discussions.
My miles are expiring on July 1, 2021 but I have a trip booked July 18 so will that keep my miles from expiring
The AwardWallet blog gave me advice of how to retain my airline miles that were expiring! Thanks so much!
This is an incredibly useful tool for those of us still waiting for low-risk travel to return once again! Preserving my AAdvantage miles definitely incentivises me to look for AA flights in the future when travel opens up more broadly.
This information is very helpful. I have accumulated some AA miles with work travel over the years and looking to redeem on a personal trip and saw that they were expiring soon. I’m new to the whole points/miles thing and have been doing a bit of research on the topic. Came across this blog and a good thing! Keep up the great info.
Thank you for this information. This is very helpful. I know southwest and jet blue offered to extend their mileage expiration, do you think AA will do the same? With vaccine rollout travel is looking more promising but there are many I know that likely still won’t be comfortable traveling before June 30.
I’m grateful that I can extend my American Airline miles just for making a post. Thank you AwardWallet!
My AA miles is about to expire and this post saves my miles. Thanks
This is a great way to keep extending miles on AA.com
Wow, what a wonderful way to keep our accounts active during such a terrible time, when many of us are grounded due to health issues. We can only hope to be back in the air soon. Thank you AwardWallet for keeping us informed. I do wonder if the deadlines for expiration may be pushed out. Hopefully. Stay safe all!
I haven’t really been traveling much, so my compulsive tracking of awards miles has taken a backseat. But then I got this very helpful email from AwardWallet letting me know about some upcoming expiring miles. It was SO much more helpful than the one I got from the airline directly and had links to solutions both for redemption and for getting more miles. I’ve renewed my interest in AwardWallet and am so thankful I signed up long ago!
Great tips! Thanks so much for the added time.
Wonderful benefit for your members, and great blog you have!
Might be useful for your readers to know about Malaysia Airlines Enrich program promotion currently:
– Convert your bank points now to enrich points and get Bonus extra 10% Enrich points from 4 to 30 April 2021
– Additionally Enrich is running an Enrich Redemption Fiesta from 10 April to 31 May 2021
Such a great resource on how to keep your AA Miles from expiring, thank you!
Thanks for this post! I just found Award Wallet because I realized my AA miles were about to expire. This is a great tool for me to keep track of all my miles and points across accounts!
Thanks for this information and providing this feature, it is very useful.
Thank you for this useful information! I appreciate you keeping track of the expiration miles. I also think that the airlines should postpone any miles from ever expiring. I get that it’s a business, but I think as a rewards / loyalty system goes, it is a natural habit for customers to continue building up their reward with loyal albeit infrequent purchases. I believe that the model should be “the more you buy, the quicker your reward is realized”. With covid and people being afraid to travel the airlines should pause the miles expiration and see that their loyal base returns when the pandemic is “handled”. Either way, thank you for this blog.
Great option. Also a good option to prevent points from expiring: https://awardwallet.com/blog/aadvantage-dining-review/
Joining/using the dining program allows you to not only keep your points from expiring, but also earn more points for food you’d already buy. I especially like AwardWallet’s suggestion to just sign up for the dining program on all of your cards, forget about it, and done out where you please.
This is a very helpful post and saved my miles from expiring. It’s unfortunate that American Airlines’ miles expire, when several airlines have never expiring miles.
Alaska and American seem to have a miles partnership that make it difficult to book Alaska flights and use American miles. In fact, I never usually find flights on Alaska using American miles. Any tips on better using American miles on Alaska are appreciated
This is a great post. Thanks!
AwardWallet is a great tool to track awards, and makes it all easy. It will keep my AA miles alive.
This seems like an excellent idea to help keep on top of things when organising travel etc. I’m very keen to get using my American Airlines miles as soon as I can.
This is good information to avoid losing American Advantage points. Important Award Wallet benefit. Thanks.
Thank you for awarding miles for posting. It is a great way to have activity in my account during COVID.
Thanks for the useful info. Surprising that AA are only extending miles expiry until July… especially as it’s unlikely all of their customers around the world will even be able to travel.
You may want to consider allowing more than 5 miles a day max for those who find more than one posts to respond, and happen to have more time for a given day.
AwardWallet, thank you again for your partnership with AAdvantage and allowing folks to easily extend their award miles expiration date.
Thank you Awardwallet for tracking my AA miles.
With this alert you saved my miles! I had no idea they were going to expire and appreciate the helpful tips to prevent me from losing them. Reminder of why AwardWallet is so helpful!
Thanks for the useful and helpful tips for extending award miles. AwardWallet has been a great way to manage all the various miles and points programs.
I was emailed this weekend about my AA points expiring soon. Without AwardWallet I would not have known and been proactive.
Thanks!
Cool feacture, many thx
Such a great tip! Easy way to earn and prevent your miles from expiring!
I’m wondering how long the airlines will continue extending their mileage expirations, given the constantly changing landscape of travel. International travel is where many members want to use their AAdvantage miles, and like many of them, we have been in a holding pattern, waiting for international borders to open up.
Thanks! Will let my friends know, especially with the June 30th AA mile expiry around the corner.
Very cool feature of Awardwallet to track and notify us on Miles expiration.
One key reason I’ll continue to be on the Plus membership
This was very helpful and I’m so glad to have a resource that keeps things updated in such a crazy time for travel!
Thanks for the useful and helpful tips for extending award miles. Awardwallet has been a great way to manage all the various miles and points programs.
Everyone with an AA account should be aware of such an easy method to extend miles – kudos to AwardWallet for making this so simple.
I love Award Wallet- they send me emails to remind me when my airline miles are going to expire
Thank you for keeping us aware of airlines’ continuously changing policies and how it directly affects our account. I would have lost thousands of miles if it had not been for Award Wallet.
Thank you for the heads up about my miles expiration. I was not aware. I also need to check with my son who just turned 21 to see when his miles expire. I wasn’t aware of that rule either! Thank you for the useful info!
Thanks American Airlines for giving us until June 30th 2021 before our miles expire.
Appreciate American Airlines COVID-19 policies but not their new 18 month expiration of mileage. Frontier has a similar expiration policy which is a reason I usually don’t fly Frontier.
I always like reading the updates and love to learn new tips with every read. Now I just need to start earning rewards for referring friends to Travel Freely.
Thank you Awardwallet for tracking when my AA miles expire!
Thanks for the tip about AA miles! Insane they are letting them expire during Covid. Where are we supposed to be flying to?
I went to the AA site and could not find a way to extend or redeem the miles. Your blog was helpful. Thank you.
AwardWallet is the best! You’ve saved me several times from losing lots of points due to expiration and your email reminder today saved me again from losing tons of airline points! Your email also included the ways to save the points, which is super helpful and easy. Thanks again!!
AwardWallet also lets you know three months before your miles expire, giving you more than enough time to extend your miles! You can connect Delta SkyMiles to Lyft to get 2 miles per $1 too.
Awesome way to keep award miles active while COVID travel restrictions keep me from traveling. Thanks award wallet and AA Advantage.
Yet another reason that AwardWallet both rocks and is so worth the subscription. An alert from AwardWallet that my AA miles are going to expire and at same time great advice on keeping them alive. Keep doing what you do – it’s awesome!
This is a great post on how we can keep our miles without having to fly. It is even more important now, during these times where flying is not an option. Thank you AwardWallet!
AwardWallet subscription is worth it just for the expiration alerts but to top that off with a guide to ways to extend expiration is awesome and the icing on an already pretty decent cake.
Great work guy this product really understands its audiences needs
Obviously it has not been possible to travel over the last 12 months and it is useful to be reminded of the expiry of the miles. Hopefully this works as advertised, is a convenient way to solve the issue and I will soon be back flying with AA.
I’m looking forward to travelling again.
AwardWallet is such a great service. Thanks so much for all of the tips on travel and award programs!
Thanks to AwardWallet I got a notification my AA miles are expiring in July, living in the UK and not being able to fly I am really grateful to have found that AwardWallet has this program that provides us with a simple way of extending our miles. Thanks AwardWallet!
This is really helpful. I also love AwardWallet. I wouldn’t have known that my points were going to expire without its helpful email. Based on the point valuation of 1 AAdvantage point = 1.4 cents then it looks like the Bask account returns 1.4% annually on your money which is way better than most high yield savings accounts right now!
Is there a way to purchase magazines , e.g. the Economist, and pay for them with miles? Seems discount4mags doesnt use aa points…
Award wallet is an amazing service for frequent travelers. It keeps me updated about my miles and their expiry.
Giving 5 miles for a post is a tremendous benefit of AwardWallet!
Thank you for your timely information about my account. It is extremely helpful especially for airlines that have points that expire!
Which airlines don’t expire miles?
Is it just me or does expiring miles seem like something that should be gone by now?
It makes me want to fly on a different airline.
Thanks so much for the email reminding me that my AA miles are due to expire in 3 months! It’s good to know I didn’t have to rely on my own “noggin!”
I would never be able to keep up to date with all the points alerts on my own. This content is so helpful! I will share widely with my friends and encourage them to sign up for AwardWallet!
Thanks for this post! I had gotten your email that my miles are expiring soon, so I was looking into ways to keep them alive. I only have a few thousand, so not much to do anything with, but who likes losing miles and points? So thanks for the 5 to stay alive. 🙂
Thanks for the helpful info! I wish they extended the expiration a bit longer. Not everyone is ready to travel yet.
This is an excellent idea, especially given the current pandemic. Every flights i had booked for the past 13 months had been cancelled and there didn’t seem to be any extension on this from AA so thank you in advance
I have learned to make far better use of my frequent flyer miles and would have ever been the case without award wallet insights!
Bravo!
I was very disappointed to find out my American Airlines miles will be expiring in a few months since I’ve not been able to travel. I came across this blog with great tips on extending the expiration date. Thank you for sharing these ideas!!
Another great blog – thank you.
To me, AwardWallet is most valuable for keeping me up to date on my portfolio of points from both hotels and aiorlines.
For example, I just got warned that my AAdvantage miles will expire shortly.
Hopefully, the 5 bonus points for this comment will help maintain their shelf life 🙂
This past year has been rough and all my normal trips had to be put on hold. Now that more people are eligible for and taking advantage of vaccines, I feel more hopeful that I will once again be able to travel. I have been worried that COVID was going to erase all my past miles but I am happy that it seems like that doesn’t have to be the case. Looking forward to packing my suitcase again.
Thanks AwardWallet for the reminder that my American miles will be expiring soon, and this opportunity to have it extended by just posting a comment here. This is indeed a wonderful service. Keep it up, AwardWallet!
Thanks for the info!
I live in Canada. I only fly AA/Oneworld once every few years. This is a great way to keep my AAdvantage account from expiring! Thanks, AwardWallet.
This blog post was very informative and helped me understand the steps I need to take to comment on an AwardWallet blog post to receive 4 AAdvantage points, in order to keep my miles from expiring. Here goes – I hope it works!
Adding my American account to AwardsWallet was very quick and easy. Adding Hilton Honors was not. I was asked multiple times to login to the HH program and received message that the app was not updating, etc. Eventually, the HH program was active and my awards are synched with AwardWallet.
The service will be a big help in keeping track of award status. Thanks
The AA expire date 21st June not going to help me. So it is great awardwallet.com has this blog systems to extend miles
Thank you for reminding me that I have miles that are expiring! I had no idea that I could leave a comment to earn points, and I am also looking in to the Bask account, thanks!
I figured my AA miles were expired but it’s great to find out the expiration was extended. Does anyone have a recommendation on a good credit card to make use of my undead AA miles?
Thanks AwardWallet! This is exactly the info I was looking for.
These are very helpful tips! My miles were about to expire, and Award Wallet helped me with steps to extend. Thank you!
Notifying me of expiring points is such a great service. And now you’ve got me interested in Bask Bank, so I’m headed there next!
I love my miles I flew to Honolulu only with mile + tax
Unfortunately, I didn’t get to travel on AA since just before the pandemic began, and the risk of flying from the United States has seemed much higher than normal over the last 13 months. While I would prefer that AA pause mileage expiration past June 30, I appreciate your efforts to provide a safe and socially distanced work around until we can get back to flying safely as before.
Thank you, AwardWallet, for keeping us up to date on everything travel points related! You guys rock
AwardWallet pays off again. I am so thankful for the service of AwardWallet to keep me up to date on my mileage programs. I appreciate the relationship that AA has with Award Wallet to take care of loyal passengers.
This is a great feature. I have a lot of miles which I can’t use at the moment with covid travel bans and it has also got me to explore and engage with your great site more too!
Really helpful tips for extending award miles! Thanks!
Thank you for AwardWallet and for notifying me that my AA miles would soon expire. I would not have otherwise known.
This is a no-brainer partnership for both AA and AwardWallet in order to keep points active. Making me take a hard second look at a premium membership as well…
This post is one of the many reasons that I am a happy member of AwardWallet. I’ve used their site to open upwards of five credit cards, relying heavily on the useful commentary and comparisons by the staff. Additionally – it’s always good to hear how good of a deal you’re getting from an unbiased third party!
I will continue to rely on their expertise in this area in addition to finding ways to extend the eligibility of my miles on airlines with cancellation policies. Thanks for all you do!
With so much difficulty traveling recently, it is great that awardwallet provides an easy way to prevent miles from expiring. Thanks awardwallet!
Thanks for giving advance warning of the expiration of my miles and providing several ways to prevent that from occurring. With travel suspended during the pandemic this was not one of the first things to worry about.
Thanks a lot for this thread, with the current COVID-19 situation, cannot put any activity on the account, this is a great way to put some activity back on to the account.
This was a lifesaver . . . Many of my points don’t expire so I was surprised to see this note flagging AA miles going away. I literally haven’t flown for about a year and can’t wait to get out (anywhere) this summer.
Love the blog AwardWallet, thanks for all the info! Easiest way to earn 5 points! Love it
Would love to fly American Airlines to Italy.
I just learned that I can keep my miles from expiring by commenting on this blog! I appreciate the opportunity to keep them active by taking such a simple step.
Thanks for providing the service. This is really helpful!
Thank you AwardWallet for the helpful tips, especially this one regarding point expiration warnings. Nice to know that someone has your back. Thanks!
It is very useful to have the awardwallet alert you about what is going on with your miles…
Great way to earn new miles!
I originally installed award wallet to track my memberships but have recently found additional value in the features that are offered including the points expiry warnings. Added to this, the ability to extend the expiry date by interacting online is a brilliant idea.
Might be time to consider an Award Wallet plus subscription.
Thank you for this partnership. It is nice to have. Not being able to travel yet this year, and still not being comfortable with any unnecessary travel for the near future, this will save me from losing miles. I’m hopeful that over the next few months, things will begin to turn around.
Another reason to stick with the premium membership!. Thank you
I can’t ask for more thanks
It’s so important to make sure that your miles don’t expire. And this perk from Award Wallet is one of the best!
I love award wallet and really like managing my awards miles with award wallet. while booking a flight its a big help as all the frequent flier numbers are easily accessible. it makes it easy to add that numbers when flying thru work and adding the numbers
Happy 40th Anniversary AAdvantage rewards program
Excelente información y muy útil para mantener activas las millas de AA. Saludos!
Thanks for the great advise. Good to know there are options to keep the miles from expiring.
Love AwardWallet, I use it to manage all my Aware Programs! Thanks for the info on extending my AAmerican miles, and thanks in advance for the the 5 AAmerican miles 🙂
-Buck
I wasn’t aware that American Airlines miles expired due to inactivity. I found your articles very helpful toward rectifying my issues and greatly appreciate your advice
Thank you for providing this service.
Wow that is an amazing way to keep your public engaged.
Way to go AwardWallet! I am so glad to be part of this community.
Thanks for the great info. I was concerned with my points expiring, and now I have a plan to prevent that from happening.
This is actually an amazing way to save my miles from expiring and not having to buy something I don’t actually want. Great idea and helpful option for organizing reward points in general, thanks!
This is an awesome initiative. Haven’t been flying much due to the pandemic, so this is perfect to keep my mileage balance alive. Good job AwardWallet!
Thank you for extending my award miles during this time of COVID where travel is limited.
This is awesome, super informative.
I have been unable to fly for business due to a restriction on travel related to the pandemic – only absolutely necessary travel was allowed. I carried that over to personal travel for health reasons. Having had the first vaccine and close to getting my second shot, I very much look forward to getting back into the air soon. I want to thank American Airlines for graciously pushing back travel award expirations as we all made our way through the thick of the pandemic. This post further shows how the company has worked with customers. I hope we can all get back to normality in our air travel very soon. Plus, I look forward to getting back on AA for business and leisure travel within the next month or two. Thank you!
Thanks for the post on this topic. I didn’t realize miles expire; but appreciative for this helpful guide.
Thanks, this is helpful information while many of us are flying less often than usual.
THank you for not only for providing this service but also for sending me an email to remind me. I appreciate all you offer as I get further into this obsessive world of Points!
This is a much better option than going through the AAdvantage eShopping portal. Definitely recommended.
Sure miss traveling International. Hope to travel once all countries open up and take my family on much needed vacation. Hope American extends miles and doesn’t let them expire like other airlines.
This apps AwardWallet is the best of all app for airlines. Provide and suggestion to customers
Thanks for the great information. Really help for me to extend my AA mileages.
I totally support AA in its position on the Texas legislation to suppress voter participation.
Even during these challenging times AwardWallet remains such a great source of information!
Thank you for the heads-up on AA miles about to expire…and for making it so easy to extend the deadline!
this is great way to avoid lossing miles. thanks
Thanks guys – saw your email about my point expiring and went to check flights from San Diego to Houston – $290 vs my regular Southwest of $100. You all putting the offer of points for comment really added value to me, and I’ll definitely be viewing the blog a bit more in future.
Through this tough times it’s really necessary to rely on such an easy way to keep miles and avoid expiration dates. We are all loyal customers and it seems fair that companies aknowledge our loyalty by longing mile expiration till we can travel again without restrictions. Great to have AwardWallet.com as a strong partner. Keep it up!!!
Is American Airlines planning to pause the expiry of miles further from June 30th as the pandemic doesn’t seem like going anywhere soon.
A blog post with any extensions of validity date would help users
I almost didn’t realize that I have American Airlines miles set to expire soon. This is handy, though I really wish AA would change their policy and not have miles expire.
I loved my experiences with American no matter what destination or special circumstances – they made it all so easy and convenient.
What a great feature!
Thanks for helping me save my points from expiring!
Also useful are some of the other ways you can extend your miles expiration date on the blog post linked below.
https://awardwallet.com/blog/american-airlines-miles-expire/
Thank you for this great article. I am set to lose 25k AA miles in july. Hopefully this helps me keep them!
This is such a great way to add miles, since I haven’t been able to travel. Thanks!
Thank you for the tip and help! Really needed this since I was nervous whether I could save my miles after not being able to fly the past year.
This is really interesting. I was looking for ways to save my parents’ AA miles from expiring without having to “do” any of the traditional methods. I found this one from TPG and hopefully it works out! Definitely an easy way to save 200,000+ combined miles!
Looking forward to restart travel this summer
Agree with Winnie. Thanks for the great information.
I’ve tried this method before to maintain activity on my account and can attest that it works! Thank you!
Great way to keep miles from expiring, thanks.
Wow! What a useful post, thank you! I was unable to use my 150k points due to COVID and they expire in 6 months… what a great benefit! While I’m here, I’ll be sure to check out all AwardWallet has to offer!
I just discovered AwardWallet a few days ago and now I realize all the benefits I’ve missing. One is not worrying about my points expiring!
I’m looking forward to redeeming my AA Miles and flying again soon!
Fantastic feature for a valuable and useful site. Thank you guys for all you do!
Thanks for your blog.
It has become a lot more difficult for UK and EU citizens to renew Airmiles with the closure of the AA-linked credit cards in the region. The AA online shop is also unavailable.
It would be really helpful if country/area specific ways of keeping accounts active could be published, especially right now because we can’t legally travel anywhere anyway and therefore have no realistic means of renewing miles by booking flights.
I have been an awardwallet.com member since it’s inception (many years ago). It is one of those sites that just keeps improving and thinking up shrewd ways to keep its customers happy. This blog for miles idea is brilliant !!
Fantastic, please keep up all your good work!!!
This is a great way to extend the expiration date of my aadvantage miles
A great way to extend the expiration date on my AAdvantage Miles. Thanks to AwardWallet!
One of the coolest things an airline can do for thwe online community
Thank you AA AAdvantage for making your Earning Miles program the best for your customers!
I just figured out why I am not being credited with my American miles when I comment here. MMy wife and I are on the same account and I was supposed to select my name on our acount summay before making my comment. Perhaps a note about this requirement would help other readers.
Thank you
Thank you American Airlines for extending mileage expiration to 1 July 2021!
Woohoo this is an awesome promotion! Was worried about my points expiring and then I found this 🙂
this is absolutely amazing, thanks so much for doing this. You guys are the best!
Thank you AA!! Making the best for your customers!!!
Not only is this a wonderful way to earn some free miles, but it will also help keep my account active and prevent the rest of them from expiring. Thanks a million for being a “milesaver” in these pandemic times! However, I do look much forward to collecting even more mileage by actually traveling again 🙂
Hey,
I first used this site last year to save my sister’s aadvantage account from going to 0. Awesome resource!
Now I have a few days to book a flight for which I am short 751 miles.
Any way to earn those miles quickly? Otherwise I think I’d just buy 2000 miles at aa.com for $64.
Thanks in advance
Thank you for keeping our American accounts from expiring. Just thought I would pass on this info:
It is interesting that Amex Travel Credit of $200 for Platinum for booking through Amex Travel is also being awarded for American Airlines and the flights are actually cheaper than Delta (Delta is a Amex partner!).
This is awesome. Great way to extend the expiration on my AA miles. Thanks a lot for offering that, Awardwallet!
This is a very helpful bonus since I have not been able to fly at all in the last year. Ensures I will remain a loyal AA flyer once I start flying again.
Thanks for the military upgrades American Airlines! It’s always appreciated, especially after coming home from a deployment. You guys rock!
Still working
I use to have my credit card in Argentina linked to my AA account and every month I earned some miles and renewed the expiration date. This alliance with my bank ended up on September 2020, so I was worried about how I could renew the expiration date for my miles…. So this is a GREAT news for me and I´ll inform this to every friend in Argentina who is in the same situation! Thanks!!!
Thank you for a great product and a helpful post.
Great news!!!
I’ve been a loyal AwardWallet user for a while now and didn’t realize that you have this cool feature in place. Funny enough, while trying to figure out a way to get some activity on my AA account, I stumbled on this.
Thanks so much!
Wow! I absolutely love this site. I was wondering how I could go about ensuring that my AA miles don’t expire. I didn’t even have to go looking because Award Wallet popped up a link to this blog. Now I’m looking forward to seeing the 5 miles appear in my account to prevent expiration. Simply another outstanding benefit of Award Wallet!
This is a great benefit. I’ve been a happy user of AwardWallet for many years.
Great opportunity to renew the validity of miles
Anyone know if you are completely vaccinated, do you still need to have a covid test before flying??
This board is great and I am sure it is a wealth of information for all of us.
Great idea!!! Thanks a lot for pampering customers,still waiting for fliying again soon.
Thank you American Airlines! Every time thinking the best actions for your customers!
Waiting to travel again!
Thank you very much for helping us, hopefully it extends to other programs.
Love you !
Great way to get extra miles and keep the account active.
Thank you for this helpful post. The 18-month expiration always comes around so fast. Nice to know I can simply comment on this blog and keep my miles from expiring!
At what point is it expected for business class flight to come back to pre Covid levels? Ever?
Awesome way to gain feedback! Hopefully saves my miles from expiring after the COVID year of no flying!
really love this way to keep my son’s account active
This was extremely helpful. Thank you!
Saved my account from expiring. Thanks!
AwardWallet is a great way to keep track of all my different programs, and the bonus of 5 AAdvantage miles saves them expiring! Double win! Thank you!
Thanks for the post and offer!
With AA pausing points, is the 5 AA points still a thing?
Yes
This is a great way to post a comment or question and at the same time keep you AA miles from expiring. Win, win.
Would be great if BA would do the same thing with their airmiles. Any news with them ?
He recientemente creado mi cuenta en AwardWallet, la información que aportan sobre el programa AAdvantage, es muy útil, completa , explicando detalladamente el funcionamiento del programa y formas de obtener millas. Continuaré informándome en vuestra página qué resulta sumamente interesante y de mucha utilidad .
This post was my salvation. I´ve 150k miles expiring at the end of the month!!!
Good info. Thanks!
This is a great way to extend the expiration on my AA miles. Thanks!
Thank you – I just saw this blog post and was looking for a way for my AA miles to not expire. Hoping the days we can all travel again!
Oh my goodness – this is a COVID lifesaver! Thank you for offering this. Until we can get in the air again, I am incredibly grateful. In logging in today, I realized I hadn’t been on AwardWallet for over 4 months. That was a very depressing discovery. I used to log on much more frequently. Looking forward to getting back in the travel swing of things.
Thanks for keeping this option to extend AA points going.
Does American fund this, or are the miles paid for by ad revenue?
The saving account is a nice account to save money and get miles for your next trip
A medical condition is stopping me flying until this year
2021, and all of my AA miles expire in July. Thank for help.
It’s nice to find ways to keep American Airline miles from expiring.
This is super helpful. With the Covid situation, we’ve had to cancel vacation plans and had a bunch of AA points about to expire this summer. I will also look into the Bask Bank option. I have some IHG points also set to expire this summer, but the conversion ratio is not very good.
Being a UK citizen, normally my method of keeping AA miles active, is via BA European flights. A medical condition is stopping me flying until August
2021, and all of my AA miles expire in June. The facility to earn a few miles by commenting is a lifesaver for me!
Thanks AwardWallet for making it possible to earn miles and keep them from expiring during the pandemic.
Just checked my AAdvantage account and my 5 points for comment here are ther! Got 18 more months to use my miles. Thank you AwardWallet!
Is there any update on earning miles/points for commenting in other programs? While most have airlines have stopped expiring miles (JetBlue, Delta among others) there are some that do + hotel programs that expire points. It would be nice to earn say 5 Hilton points for commenting to keep those alive as well. Thanks
You can earn only AA miles commenting on our blog.
This is such a great thing! Not only can I earn some miles (and keep mine from expiring), I will also get some insight into other things.
This COVID pandemic has definitely upended travel. I am happy that AwardWallet provides this service. A good deed that goes a long way to help alleviate some stress and anxiety brought about by this pandemic.
I am looking forward to flying again soon!!! Thank you
I came here to read more about the American Airlines miles expiration but am very happy to find this helpful website. I’m going to try to be more focused on maximizing my rewards.
I can’t believe I’m only just hearing about your bonus Aadvantage miles for commenting campaign. Thank you AwardWallet!
Same here. We are frequent travelers (well, not this past year) but we have 5 cruises booked so far for this year and next. It’s great to know that I can earn extra AA miles and keep my past miles active. Thanks AwardWallet.
Great to see AwardWallet helping us to maintain AAdvantage activity. Thanks!
I just joined AwardWallet and am glad to have a way to keep track of all my awards, especially my AAdvantage miles!
I had signed up years ago for Award Wallet and forgot about it. So nice to see the improvements. And this is a great way to prevent AA miles from expiring. Thank you
This is a really novel idea, could use the extension as I’m not American based and trav using AA us just not happening.
I’m excited for this opportunity. It keeps me engaged in the idea of traveling. Provides great tips and tricks. And, it can prevent my miles from expiring during a pandemic when I’m not scheduling any flights. Keeps the dream alive for a real vacation when this nightmare ends. Looking for our next family vacation to be out west: Tetons, Yellowstone and Glacier hoping for hotsprings, geysers, bbq and maybe just maybe the Northern Lights.
I was researching ways that I could extend my milage participation due to reduced travel during the pandemic. One of the ways was to leave a comment on this blog. I’m crossing my fingers that this will work!
I’m happy to know that this comment will generate activity in my AAdvantage account! Thank you AwardWallet!
I’ve been an AwardWallet member since 2017 and highly recommend it. Looking forward to finally traveling in 2021.
Someone on the Internet chipped me about this. Thank you very much for providing this service. I’ve been enjoying award wallet for several years but not use this service
I’m excited again for traveling once things in a few months. I appreciate the flexibility that I’ve gotten with dealing with the airline. Between many tough issues in 2020 its nice to know that my flight credit is still available to use when things return to a “new” normal. I look forward to seeing friends and family again in different parts of the nation.
I am glad I found this site. I have linked my American Advantage Account. Will give this a try.
Thank you for the tip. My miles will expire soon and for Covid PAndemia is very dificult to travel. I hope American Airlines imitate United Airlines in no expiration date of miles
Been using the app for years never knew about this !
We were worried about losing our points during the pandemic and this is such a great way to keep this from happening! Can’t wait to start travelling again!
My miles are set to expire the first week of July. I traveled last on December 2019. Do I get an extension or is this program only for miles that expire before July 1st?
It makes more sense to push the time for everyone, don’t you think?
Seems like a easy way to keep miles active! Hope to be able to use the points after the pandemic.
That’s perfect!
I was looking for a blog like this for a long time!
I have been using award wallet for 2 years and without it I what have lost so many points already without knowing it. I love that I can use this tool to reset the count on my AAdvantage points thanks!
Exactly!
Great idea!!
This seems like a great way to reward engagement with blog articles and posts. I’m surprised more people aren’t taking advantage of the offer.
This seems like a really easy way to keep miles active! Hoping to do a lot more travelling post-pandemic!
Have been AwardWallet subscriber for many years, I use it to keep track of many of my FF program miles, this article is quite useful to keep my AA miles active even I travel less these days. thanks.
I’m confused as to whether miles will all expire on the same date or they are just exteneded. Would be good to know?
Thank for so this timely post!!
Well that is clever and surprisingly easy..
Is great way to generate activity to your AA account.
Thanks
AAvantage miles awards for online purchases using the browser plug-in are consistently higher than United Airlines. The plug-in pop ups take a bit of getting used too but they make earning miles for my most common way of shopping incredibly easy. Thank you AA and hang in there we’re almost through this!
That’s great. Thank you for this new way to keep my miles.
Great advice on how to not let AA miles lapse.
It’s really great that you provide customers here an easy way to help extend their mileage expiration. I really appreciate it!
Thank you.
What a great, easy way to generate activity to your AA account. I used to subscribe to magazines at 500 miles a pop, but since they’ve phased that out, it’s harder and harder to find economical ways to keep my account active. Thanks!
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
Are there other easy ways to avoid miles from expiring for those of us not traveling since Covid?
I don’t know about you, but I have multiple airline mileage programs and points here and there with different expiration dates. I have found AwardWallet to be super helpful for keeping track of my mileage programs all in one place – I only need to log in to one site to manage everything. I’ve shared this website with my elderly parents who are forgetful and not so tech savvy, and they have linked all their accounts through AwardWallet as a one stop shop. Thank you!
Thanks, this is really useful information. I am a couple of miles short to get a ticket but I haven’t been able to travel to add some more miles into my account, because of Covid. So I guess this is a great way to avoid my miles from expiring.
Thanks guys! It’s so nice to not have to worry about my miles expiration date.
Thanks for allow keep my miles! I hope we can fly and travel like before quarantine
Just discovered AwardWallet and am looking forward to organizing all of our points, trips and managing things like expiration dates. Thank you for the site. Wish we would have seen this several years ago!
Interesting and useful
Thanks you!
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

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?
