Interested in earning American Airlines AAdvantage® 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.
If you're visiting this page because your miles are set to expire soon, a Bask Savings Account is the perfect way to solve that problem once and for all! Bask Bank awards miles based on your savings balance at the end of each month, so you'll never need to worry about generating AAdvantage® account activity. Check out our full review, or visit Bask's website to learn more.
Frequent Questions on Earning Miles for Comments
Who is eligible? Anyone with a valid AAdvantage® account linked to their AwardWallet account.
Where do I go to earn miles? Visit the comments section on any of our blog posts. (Including this one)
When do I earn the miles? Miles can be earned on a daily basis and will be submitted for deposit each day, however, it may take up to 5 business days for the miles to post to your account. If your miles will expire in less than 5 business days, we've listed some fast ways to generate activity in our post about the AAdvantage® mile expiration policy.
What if I leave multiple comments? We're happy to hear from you multiple times per day. But you'll only earn 5 miles for the first comment. Our day starts at 12:00 a.m. and ends at 11:59 p.m. U.S. Eastern time. We use the time your comment is submitted to the blog (rather than when it is approved and published) to determine whether you will be awarded miles.
How do I make sure my comments are approved? Comments on the AwardWallet Blog are moderated to protect against spam and other nonsense—we read every single one.
Please put a little thought into your comment and make sure it's relevant to the post. We don't usually approve comments that don't add value to the conversation (like “Thanks!” or “Good to know“). Engaging with us, sharing your experiences, and providing constructive feedback/ideas to both AwardWallet and other readers will ensure your comments are approved.
How do I pick an AAdvantage® account to credit the miles? After you leave a comment, you'll receive one of two pop-ups.

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!
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.
This is great! Cant fly because of Covid and thanks to Award Wallet for keeping my miles from expiring!
Reading this post has been really great for me, didn’t know that you could extend AA miles expiry using this method, really helpful!
thank you! this is life saver!
Thank you for providing such great information. Happy upon hearing the extension news as well.
AwardWallet has been an invaluable tool to help me keep track of my points. I am enrolled in many points programs and AwardWallet has helped me keep track of my points and my expiration dates so I never risk losing points due to exiprations.
My wife’s large amount of miles were expiring soon. I thought she was safe as AA extended expiring miles through 12./31/20, but then another look and I realized her miles expired in early January so they were not going to be extended by AA. A quick search told me my Award Wallet account could help by earning 5 AA miles for a blog comment. Yet another way AW is adding value for me! Thanks.
Award Wallet is so helpful in these stressful times. There are so many things happening in the world now and Award Wallet takes away the stress of worrying when my miles, points and free nights at the hotel chains and airlines expire.
I’m so glad to hear that AA is extending mileage expiration another 6 months. My miles had expired just before the previous extension thru Dec 2020 and fortunately, got automatically reinstated. I wish they would do away with mileage expiration like many other airlines.
I am so grateful to have found this blogpost! My miles are about to expire and now I realize Award Wallet does more than just track my miles and points, I actually can get great information as well which will help me not lose money!
This was super helpful for my miles that will be expiring soon. I was hoping another extension would be honored with the pandemic still raging.
If you comment, how many days does it take to receive confirmation that your post was approved?
We do not send confirmations when your comments are approved. Miles will post within 5 business days of your comment being approved.
It is very good news that AA is waiving award booking fees and extending the miles expiry to 30 June 2021. Could we look forward to a never expiring award miles policy like United.
Thank you AW for helping us extend AA miles expiration!
I am very impressed with this initiative that helps keeping my miles from expiring
Thank you Awardwallet
Thankyou for highlighting that AA have extended the expiration date. Great news.
This is great, esp. since AA hasn’t eliminated expiration unlike many peers.
I had planned a trip this fall that I recently cancelled. I am banking my miles in hopes of travel next fall. I had previously bought a magazine subscription if my miles were expiring. I did not know about the Bask account and am going to explore that option.
This is so great. My miles are about to expire, this saves me! I’ll be commenting daily if this works as indicated.
Thank you Awardwallet for keeping us informed about all things points and travel.
I am early adopter and a big fan of Awardwallet.
Cheers

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

Hi everybody, I was trying to extend my AA miles which are about to expire. I wonder if this comment is enough. I also would like to know if anyone knows of a way of merging Iberia´s avios and AA miles since both belong to One world alliance.
Cheers!
Please note that there is a limit of 5 miles earned per day. If you have any questions or concerns related to commenting feature, please contact our support team:
https://awardwallet.com/contact
I am glad I learned about this service and the ability to track and avoid expiry.
This is great useful information.
Wow I never knew about Award Wallet :O. I no longer have to keep track of my Google spreadsheet to figure out when my miles expire!
It’s such a challenge keeping miles from expiring during COVID-19, but the silver lining is I learned about AwardWallet, which is proving to be very useful!
Hope to use all my miles after this pandemic goes away.
Thank you AwardWallet for keeping me posted about miles expiration, and for the great service you provide.
This is by far the easiest way to earn free mile. I’m very grateful for this generous offer from AwardWallet. Let’s hope this will extend my miles in time since my expiration date is less than 2 weeks from now.
I’ve been an awardwallet subscriber for years and was researching ways that I could extend my American Airlines miles. AwardWallet is really useful in helping manage all of my loyalty programs and reward points. Am lucky to find that simply making a comment here could keep my American Airline miles from expiring. That’s just another perk of being an AwardWallet user I guess. Thanks for the service and tool.
I so look forward to the day when airline travel returns and we all can get back to the business of earning and using miles! Thanks for all you do, AwardWallet, to get us through this weird time!
Thank you so much! I can’t till this bad dream is over and we can start to travel normally again.
The easiest way of renewing miles while not being able to flight!!
This is amazingly helpful to extend my miles while I do not want to travel during a pandemic. I am looking forward to exploring all you have to offer. Thanks so much!
I have been AwardWallet for years. Thanks lot for finding awesome ways to make our life easier. Keep up the great work 🙂
If we do have to fly … is it save to fly even with a face mask? What about gloves – will this really help?
Awardwallet did an excellent job with this blog and especially helping us not to have miles expire. Now even more in this pandemic time which flying is basically not a real topic.
Will the normal way of flying come back anytime soon?
Thanks, very helpful as I had no idea blog comments could earn miles!
Very useful tool. Would like to know how long it takes to receive 5 bonus AA miles. Thanks!
Es un buen método para mantener vigentes las millas porque tuve que cancelar mi viaje programado de este año por cuestiones sanitarias de mi país, sería muy bueno que los programas de viajeros frecuentes sean prorrogados los vencimientos hasta de fin de año por lo menos.
gracias
Best tool i’ve used to keep track of all points. Makes life so much easier
I think this is a good idea for your blog post
Awardwallet is amazing. This is extremely helpful. My points are about to expire in a month. Thank you.
Really? That’s perfect news. Hope i can get 5 miles to let me account not expiry.
Thank you for this information! Normally I would keep my miles active by traveling but because of COVID I have not been able to. Thanks for making it possible to keep these miles!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Normally I would keep my miles active by traveling but because of COVID I don’t feel comfortable flying right now and therefore risk losing my miles. Thanks for making it possible to keep these miles!
This is amazing! Thank you to this website My airline points are about to expire and wasn’t sure how to earn miles to keep my account active since I don’t want to book travel while things are still so uncertain with COVID-19 here in the U.S. I actually learned about this website from The Points Guy blog.
This is awesome that this method to keep aa miles active is still around. Love it!
Thank you for doing this, it is great!
Thank you very much for offering us such an easy and free way to keep miles!!
Thank you for the information on how to keep my miles from expiring!! I hope AA extend the limit dates because of the covid I won’t be able to travel in the near future. Borders in Argentina are closed until september, at least for now..
My husband told me about this awesome service, thank you so much Award Wallet!
Wow, I found your blog by looking through my account activity. I see that you saved my miles two years ago. It’s unbelievable that this trick is still around. Keep it up! Thanks again
I found this blog from reading the thePointsGuy. The info on how to keep your AAdvantage miles active is great, and much needed during the pandemic when many of us are wary about flying at this time. I have used the MagsForMiles program in the past to keep my miles from expiring, but it looks like American recently discontinued that program.
Awesome Thank you for the helpful info!
Thank you for this opportunity that you give us! My husband and I generally travel 2 or 3 times a year to different destinations, but with the situation that we are going through with the COVID-19, with trips and hotels canceled, knowing that my miles will last 18 more months is a relief.
AwardWallet is the best – sent me an email letting me know my Aadvantage miles were about to expire. Then, show me how to easily extend them just by posting on this page. Awesome!
Thanks for the info!
This is a really helpful blog post! I didn’t realize you could keep miles from expiring by transferring as little as 5 miles. Always learning something new from AwardWallet 🙂
It’s a great way to extend the expiring AA miles during this COVID-19 pandemic. Thanks!
Thank you for the helpful info!
I think it is ridiculous that AA is expiring miles during the coronavirus pandemic, but this is a nice measure to avoid that nonsense.
During this COVID-19 pandemic, it is a great way to extend the expiring AA miles by providing comments in this Blog and share with others with similar situation. Thanks for the offering and opportunities!
Thanks a lot! A tough year for all travelers.
This is so helpful. I have been using AwardWallet for years to keep me posted about the miles stays I have from different airlines. With such a busy schedule I have, is very difficult to keep on track all the numbers and fortunately with awardwallet I got this solved and just now I’m learning with this post how to earn Extra miles by just posting a comments? That’s amazing! AwardWallet is definitely the best!
This is very helpful to me. I also find the Award Wallet blog provides me with current information such as the update today about Alaska Airlines joining Oneworld sooner than anticipated. This is good news to me!
Thanx for this post! We’ve been using Award Wallet for a couple of years but I’ve really been able to see the value during this Covid situation of no travel. I haven’t been as focused on our balances and exp dates so this post saved us (and both of our AA points.) I knew about the dining programs but had no clue that such a simple action of commenting on a blog I already read a lot could save our points. This is great!
Wish I could fly now but too risky. Glad this site is available
Award Wallet kept track of my miles expiring in over 10 accounts. While I didn’t worried much in the past years as my activities would renew my miles, recent covid development made me have zero activity since January.
Thanks for this article, useful in a number of ways! First,y, I have a small number of AA miles, due to expire soon, so was looking for a straightforward way – from the UK – to keep these alive. Secondly, I was considering buying some AA miles in order that I have enough to redeem for another Oneworld airline reward seat; the difference in the number of miles needed and taxes due between the airlines is staggering.
AwardWallet does a great job of tracking my travel accounts and also has informative articles to keep miles from expiring. I would highly recommend using this service.
Wow, that’s super helpful info! My miles are expiring very soon, and I had pretty much given up hope. As a Hail Mary I clicked the link in the AwardWallet email reminder about how to keep them from expiring and thus came across this post. Consider my hope revived. 🙂 Thank you for sharing!
Seems like a great service! Thanks
Thank you for all the helpful info!
Thanks for providing this points tracking service. You provide a lot of useful information here!
I received the notification from AwardWallet that my AA miles would be expiring soon. With Covid, I was unsure of the new policies and changes to the expiration dates. AwardWallet’s notification led me to investigate AA’s new policy. I appreciate the heads up during this hectic time. And the convenience of commenting to earn points and keep my miles is truly helpful! One less thing I have to stress about!
It is so hard to keep track of award plans and I am thankful that AwardWallet takes on the heavy lifting. The program made some changes during covid 19 and AwardWallet automatically updated and alerted me with my new expiration date. Its always a challenge when the miles start to expire while I scramble and figure out what to do but luckily I found this AwardWallet blog post about earning miles.
Thank you for the information on how to keep my miles from expiring!!
I love AwardWallet. They’ll help me retain miles and give me great advice how I can earn more at a time when it’s difficult to travel.
I though that they changed AA miles program so they didn’t expire? Did something change again?
This article and the post that led me here — “American Airlines Miles Resume Expiration on July 1, But There’s a New Exception” — were really helpful to navigate this complicated world of airline miles and making sure our precious miles don’t expire. Thank you to the authors!
I love this service because it helps keep my miles from expiring. Unfortunately I found it too late to save all my United Airlines miles from expiring 🙁
Sounds like a wonderful service. I would have liked to have met you before, I would have saved many miles from expiring on several occasions. I will start testing the service, I hope it works as it sounds. Thank you!
Does this really work? My miles are expiring this week and I don’t have any flights planned anytime soon…
It works, but it can take up to 5 biz days. If you get down to 48 hours, you might consider buying or donating some miles to be sure.
good to know, TY!😁
This is so helpful. This is why I use AwardWallet. What is the easiest way to link my account?
Hey Sherry, you can add an account using the “+” button at the top of next to accounts at the top of this page: https://awardwallet.com/account/list. For tracking your travel plans, we recommend linking the email where you receive your travel confirmations. https://awardwallet.com/mailboxes/
awesome tool
AwardWallet is the perfect tool to track travel rewards. I have used it for years. It can track almost any type of loyalty points, such as frequent flier miles, hotel points, or credit card points, even foreign programs like local Brazilian rewards programs. Completely satisfied. Besides, this partnership with AAdvantage to earn miles is awesome. Thanks!! Best regards from Brazil!!
Have been using Award Wallet for years to track my flight, hotel, rent-a-car and train rewards points. So convenient to have everything in one place and have mileage expirations tracked and flagged. But the greatest feature is the tips on how to keep miles from expiring. Like this posting feature to keep my AA miles from expiring. Thank you Award Wallet and AA!
While I am somewhat shocked that Airlines haven’t made sweeping changes to push out points expiry dates in the wake of the global pandemic, this is a helpful way to push back that date at least for AA! I was unaware of this option previously, despite using AwardWallet for some time now – thank you!
always great, thx!
We love traveling on American Airlines. Those intercontinental flights are especially comfortable. Thank you AA!
Hoping you will approve this comment and post the 5 miles – it would be a lifesaver. Thanks.
This type of information is why I subscribe to AwardWallet. Thanks!
If cases keep going up, hopefully they will extend points from expiring. However, thanks to award wallet and helping us updated on ways to keep our points/miles from expiring!
what a great and easy way to keep miles from expiring. i wish i would have know this sooner.
Wow. Cool , thanks for this new function.
Wow, this 5 mile bonus will keep my miles from expiring. Thanks!
How I can validate that commenting on those post are actually helping for providing extra Miles? I have done several comments, reviewing the blogs and I have not received any miles so far
Did you select your AA account while posting the comment? We see from our logs that there were no requests to deposit miles into Advantage number which is shown in your AwardWallet profile. Unfortunately, our automated system doesn’t allow for us to retroactively post miles. I would recommend you to leave another comment.
My miles expire in about a month. AA has gone downhill for years so I haven’t flown them in awhile. Hoping this works to renew my miles. Will comment more and check out other posts if this works. Fingers crossed. Thanks for the offer!
That is fantastic way to not lose the AA miles
This article really helped me to prevent my AA miles to expire, thanks for the information, it was very heplful
This tool is simply fantastic!!
Love all the opportunities to earn extra points thru purchases.
This is an awesome oortunity to keep miles active. My aa miles are ending in 23 days and thanks award wallet for giving me the ability to keep them active without spending a ton. Thank you thank you thank you. I hope everyone uses this hack
This is really helpful — this means that I can avoid doing things like spending more than I otherwise would through a shopping or dining portal. This also got me to take a look at AwardWallet after hearing lots about it.
I’ve already reactivated my AA points through this channel and it was really amazing, exactly as described above. In addition, I follow the blog because I find the subjects always interesting. Every service provided is of excellent quality which is increasingly difficult nowadays. Keep it up.
It’s great to have such a good way to increase points and extend the validity period for your AA
This is great!
Nice post, hope this works!
Thank you for this helpful information. I find it to get the case in the points and miles world that people help each other, led by the experts who tirelessly offer us advice. I’ve been able to pay it forward by helping my coworkers and friends.
thank you for always keeping us aware of rewards that we might not ever know about. You guys are the best!
Thanks. Little late to this
This is a great opportunity! I was fearful I was going to lose all my points. Fortunately I got this chance. Many thanks.
Award Wallet is a brilliant program – particularly in these very difficultCovid 19 times. It is a must for anybody living in the U.K. who do not wish their American Advantage miles to expire as there are no credit cards linked to American available in the U.K.
Same with me re: miles expiring. Grateful for this.
Great tip! Thanks!
Shame on American for letting points expire while it is still unsafe to travel by air! Thank you Award Wallet for keeping us informed and providing an easy way to protect and preserve my mileage points.
I am new to AwardWallet and am excited about how it will be an asset to me. I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time. It also allows me to earn some extra AA miles which is always a plus. I look forward to seeing more about how this can help me. Thank you for this service.
Every time I read something on your site it educates and helps me so much!
I’ve just heard of this, a little later than I would’ve liked to!!! Hopefully it will work and I’ll keep my AA miles 😊
What a great way to earn five AA miles for making a comment on Award Wallet. This is a great way to keep one’s AADvantage miles account current; especially if one does not fly often and does not use a credit card that awards AA miles for its useage.
This is a great way for AAdvantage miles members to enter a comment here and thereby get rewarded five AA miles to their account. For folks who do not fly often or do not have a credit card that gives them AA miles when they use the card, it is a great way to keep their accounts from expiring.
This a fantastic feature that I am so greatful for. Especially in the current times we find ourselves in, this will save me big tim.
I have been using AwardWallet for some time now! Great service. Thanks for the AA Miles!
Esta informacion es muy interesante ya que no he podido renovar las millas debido a que tuve que suspender los viajes..
AwardWallet trully is worth any money you invest in going pro. So glad that they are so thoughtful of fellow travellers, and this is truly a wonderful thing during this trying times!
Love this platform. Great tool, so I can follow my Am miles. Thank you
I’ve been using Award Wallet since the beginning to keep track of my 30-some awards programs. Would be lost without this tool, especially keeping track of points expirations. Thanks for AAdvantage points!
Thank you for providing a great way to extend my AA miles from expiring!
Had to cancel flights as conference was cancelled, and not allowed to fly yet as in the UK and not permitted to fly to USA. Hope that this will keep my balance alive until we can all meet again!
i use mi awardwallet for this its great
If you’re feeling generous, then another way of keeping your AAdvantage points from expiring is to donate 1000 to charity.
A lot of AA miles are expiring today (July 1) due to the COVID extension so this is a great way to keep these from expiring if you just realized today like me.
I love how I can keep track of expiration of my miles by using AwardWallet.
thanks for extending miles.
What a nice benefit of using AwardWallet. Due to Covid situation, our two 2020 trips that involved American Airlines have been cancelled. That meant our miles are in jeopardy. 5 miles for a comment are priceless!
I’m truly thankful for this, as I have limited ways to earn AA points, your kind gesture allows me to ensure they don’t expire.
This is a nice way to keep expiring AA miles from actually expiring.
Although I have been using AwardWallet for years, I am still impressed how it saves me from losing points.
I have roughly 75k AA miles in my account and a few weeks ago I received an automated email from AwardWallet alerting me that my points were set to expire in August. “That can’t be right,” I thought since I have the Barclays AAviator Credit Card. I (wrongly) assumed that holding that card (and paying its annual fee) would exempt me from miles expiration in the same way holding the Chase United Explorer card does for my MileagePlus account. If not for AwardWallet, i would not have checked and would have lost 75k points!
Perhaps the Award Wallet blog could make a post which outlines the airline and hotel credit cards which do and do not protect miles/points from expiration? That way, others would not make the same false assumptions as I did!
Yay for this blog option!
Thank you AwardWallet for all of the insightful blog posts and helpful articles. I’ve learned a lot and will be sure to tell my family and friends who I know will be able to benefit by many of the tools and resources you have to offer to help us keep track of our points and miles! Much appreciated!
Expiring points are a royal pain, so bless you for this option!
Hopefully they make miles lifetime soon
I tried this the other day and it’s been 5 days, still haven’t received my miles…
Did you select your AA account while posting the comment? Unfortunately, our automated system doesn’t allow for us to retroactively post miles. Please try to post another comment.
I can’t believe I’m just seeing this! I wish this comment will save my miles which will expire in a 1 day.
Im hooked on this site. Love it! Don’t know why I didn’t have it all this time.
Nice of you to offer the extra miles
I didn’t know that we have the option until now. Keep my finger crossed because my miles will be expired tomorrow. I wish I know awardwallet earlier!
Thxs for helping with keeping my points safe. Glad to see JT is on board. Has he stopped smiling yet? :-))
It’s a little frustrating that miles expire like this. If they have to expire, we should be able to transfer them to other account holders without a fee. But it costs more money to transfer then to buy an entire round trip flight? Makes no sense!
What a great tool. Been using it for years. I just wish all airlines would allow AwardWallet to track points automatically. Nice that they have the email workaround tho.
thansk for saving my points
I can’t believe I’m just learning about this now! Thanks to AwardWallet not only for the great service tracking my points but also for help keeping them alive!
thansk for saving my points
Thank you for this option! Hope this will save my miles which will otherwise expire in a few days.
AwardWallet is the BEST way I know of to keep those miles from expiring.
Made a comment the other day & wasn’t sure it was actually approved to earn AA miles. Was logged into Award Wallet account, clicked on blog link at top of account page, searched for this blog, made comment, clicked “post comment,” no box appeared for me to approve AA account to which miles would be deposited and then screen changed all of a sudden to show my comment with a notation above it that it was awaiting moderation. When I checked this comment page in the blog the next day, the comment was there without the notation about moderation above it. When a comment is entered as one on this blog page, does that mean it has been approved and WILL earn 5 AA miles? I’ve read all the info. in the Details/FAQ section below this commenting box, and there isn’t anything specifically stating how to interpret when you have actually earned the miles. Maybe you could set up something whereby Award Wallet sends an e-mail confirming that the miles have been earned from making a comment so that members know for sure. It would also be helpful to have such a notification to prove to AA that you had activity on a particular date so that the expiration date of miles can be reset. Hope this comment will be approved and that I will receive the AA miles for both comments. Thanks for your consideration.
Unfortunately, we do not send notifications when your comment is approved. Miles will post within 5 business days of your comment being approved. I see a pending deposit for you, so you should get your miles soon.
Thanks for this quick and easy way to keep my AA points! I was worried because I didn’t want to pay to transfer my points to someone else or open the bank account (for some reason, you’re taxed at .42 cents per mile on all points earned through bank accounts…. what!?) and I definitely won’t be traveling soon.
Best trick ever!
This was a great find!
Hi, i was trying to donate some miles that are about to expire and in the search for how to donate AA miles, i found this awardwallet site that i found very interesting!
question i have a Chase and bank of america debitcards. is there a way to earn miles with such accounts?
Thanks
Thanks for the the great tool and for providing an easy way to extend our miles
This is super helpful. Thank you!
Great feature of the Award Wallet reminder email to save points from expiring worthless. Which is more than I can say for the usefulness of most reminder automated emails. Thanks Award Wallet and I’d love to see this same type of email reminder for other points/miles accounts features that expire.
Great way of extending my points when I can’t travel with the coronavirus situation!
Thank you for keeping track of my miles and notifying me before they expire. AwardWallet is my go-to for travel rewards tips and tricks.
This is amazing, I hope it works!
With interest rates being so low, my wife and I are both opening accounts with Bask Bank. This seems like a good way to earn points toward future travel while keeping funds in a risk-free account.
Thank you for having an option whereby I can hopefully save my AA miles from expiration in time. I used to order a magazine, but AA has discontinued that way to redeem miles. Can’t travel due to border closures, so it’s been difficult. Appreciate your offering this service.
Great tips as I’m coming up on my expiration. Downloaded the app and stoked to have everything in one place!
Used this way to earn AA miles once before, but couldn’t remember how to access the “comment” area. Just wanted to say that the 5 miles earned before posted to my AA account faster than Award Wallet’s expectations, so that was a good thing! Hope the same happens this time, cuz I’m really cutting it close to the extended expiration date AA gave for everyone’s miles due to Covid. As an aside, it is somewhat unclear whether AA truly counts the date on which miles are earned as the date on which activity takes place for an account, or whether activity is counted only as of the date on which their system posts earnings. Also, the interpretation of what “expiration date” means isn’t specifically delineated by a reference to an exact time of day in a particular time zone. I’m seeing 3 different dates for when my miles expire, which I think is due to this lack of precision. If Award Wallet can shed any light on this, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks for being there!
Love having this blog to achieve AA miles!
Thanks so much for this service !!!
Awesome! Love this tip!
With all the non-travel during the COVID pandemic, I didn’t realize how long it’s been since I’ve had activity in the AA account. Thanks to the award wallet reminders, I was able to pop over here and this is a great way to ensure my miles don’t expire. Thanks for the great way to extend!
You’re welcome 🙂
Sometimes works, sometimes don’t
I still Wait for 2 comment I did but my miles didn’t get through
Hey Leonardo, this one is approved for sure. If you don’t receive miles in 5 business days, please use the https://awardwallet.com/contact form to let us know so we can investigate.
One of the great benefits of award wallet is for tracking those hardly-ever-used mileage accounts with zero-to-no usage. If not for Awardwallet, some of those accounts would be long forgotten.
Thanks for the opportunity to extend our AAdvantage miles-this is a great service and makes me glad to be a member!
the system does not work very well. I left several comments and never received any response, not even to inform them that they were not accepted and obviously no reward received.
Hey Juan, did you choose the account you wanted to receive the miles with the popup? This comment is approved. You should see the miles post within 5 business days. Please wait for that period and contact us if you’re still having issues: https://awardwallet.com/contact
This one is fantastic. No-brainer to keep us engaged and get miles activities is such a great bonus.
Muchas gracias por este programa para poder seguir disfrutando y poder viajar sin perder millas, más en este momento de cuarentena donde no se pueden utilizar.
You all are the bee’s knees. Thank you thank you!
Haha same to you!
Huge thanks to AwardWallet for developing this extremely useful tool. I view this to be like the Mint Intuit product for all my travel loyalty rewards! It’s so helpful to be able to compare and track all my travel loyalty products side by side. If AwardWallet didn’t send me notices of miles expiring, with helpful tips on how to keep those miles, I would have lost so much value by now. Thank you, thank you.
Thanks Awardwallet for the wonderful miles platform, gracias por mantened las millas y no tener que perderlas.
An excellent way to add miles, and prevent them from expiring while we wait to be able to travel soon.
thanks again
Amazing, thanks for this service !!!
You guys are geniuses! This really saved me, I would hate to lose all the miles I worked hard to accumulate. I’m going to tell all my friends!!
This is a lifesaver. Or rather a miles saver.
I neglected to keep track of my miles and suddenly realized they were expiring soon. Opened a reward credit card just to get an extension (and a few bonus miles) but it turns out the miles won’t post until the statement closes THREE DAYS AFTER my miles expire. Frustrating.
So I went to the TravelMiles101 Facebook group and found a comment from a member about your site. I never knew this site!
I am very excited I found it and look forward to increasing my knowledge here.
Thank you,
Guille
Great Tool! I will let friends know.
Just found out about AwardWallet, I sure hope it works for keeping my AAdvatage miles from expiring!
Thanks
love this program for keeping my account alive!
Award Wallet is a good way to keep track of miles on all airlines, even manually United Airlines. This is my second comment because I do not know if the first comment worked.
This is the first time I’m using Award Wallet. I think it will be a easy way to keep my AA miles active.
I learned about Awardwallet and I think this is the easier way to keep my AA miles from expiring
This is an amazing find. Very useful website. Will let my friends know as well. Good going Awardwallet!
Thank you for this method keep my miles alive
This is a help to keep my AA miles from expiring.
This really saved my milles.
Thank you.
This really saved my milles.
Thank you.
Thank you for the quick and easy way to keep our AA miles active. As a long time Award wallet user I appreciate the notices I get when My miles are about to expire.
The airlines have, perhaps intentionally, made such a jumble of rules and systems that keeping your miles from expiring on more than one or two airlines was unworkable… until AwardWallet came to save the day! And now, not only are you alerting me that my American miles are expiring, you are even happy so slide me a few of your own miles just for saying hi! I feel very pampered. This is worth the membership.
Incredible tool, very useful, thanks.
AwardWallet is the BEST way I know of to keep those miles from expiring. AwardWallet also keeps us informed about program changes and new promotions. Much Thanks, Priscila.
I learned about AwardWallet on falandodeviagem Brazil. Thanks for providing an easy way to earn AAdvantage miles
Award Wallet is a lifesaver. It keeps track of all the mileage accounts of my entire family in one easy-to-use place. To top it off, it helps me stay on top of expiring miles. Thank you!!!
This blog is a great way to keep up to date on points news; that’s how I was able to find out that AAdvantage Miles expirations ended up getting pushed back July 1st
Looking forward to having a central place to track all of my accounts. Thanks for making this happen!
I commented on here about two weeks ago and have not seen any reset of my AA expiring miles. I’m not sure this blog is doing what it is saying it does. Anyone else have that experience?
Did you select your AA account while posting the comment? Unfortunately, our automated system doesn’t allow for us to retroactively post miles. Hundreds of blog readers receive miles each week without issue. We recommend you leaving another comment, and this time please make sure you specify that you want miles deposited to a certain account.
Hi Irene,
I just posted again and at the end it asked if I would like miles applied to a certain account, and I ensured I was logged in to AwardWallet as well as had AA selected. Do you know how long it takes for the 5 miles to be posted? Thanks again.
As I have already mentioned, miles should post within 5 business days of your comment being approved.
Irene, can you please clarify what you mean when you say you must select your AA account while posting the comment? If I only have one award account (my AA account) currently linked to AwardWallet do mileage credits for posting comments on the blog not automatically get credited to such account? Thanks!
No, you should select your AA account. I suppose this information could be found above in this post.
Thanks Irene. I read the above again and solved the problem. My account wasn’t properly being picked up so when I commented I wasn’t seeing the message with the option.
This post comes at a great time considering the lack of travel. Extra ways to keep miles from expiring are always helpful.
I really appreciate the reminder notices about miles nearing expiration. With my mind on other things during this crazy time of COVID, I appreciate the email notice and the ability to quickly learn how to fix the problem! Thank you for your hard work.
Planing to use Award Wallet to keep track of all those incentive programs and make sure they do not get forgotten. In the era of Covid we are not eating out or traveling or buying fancy things, so this seems a good way to stay up to date.
Thank you for the quick and easy way to keep our AA miles active. As a long time Award wallet user I appreciate the notices I get when My miles are about to expire.
Looking into this as I’m not going to fly right now due to COVID but want to keep my miles.
This is a really generous offer … thanks for helping us not lose our miles
This really saved my milles, got around 50k that going to be cancelled by december and cant fly due to the COVID! thanks guys.
AwardWallet is such a helpful resource in keeping track of your points and the simple ways to keep them from expiring. Really appreciate this.
My Dad told me and my sister about this. Due to COVID-19 we both have miles set to expire and we can’t travel. This is pretty cool. Cheers!
When I first found this I thought, “wait… it can’t be that easy?!” IT WAS!
Thanks!

This is actually a nice consolidation for all of your different award profiles. The best feature is it gives you expiration dates so you can act on them.
This is awesome. Saved my miles when I have to stay at home during this COVID pandemic!
AwardWallet has been a godsend. Have been recommending this tool to everyone with more than 1 credit card.
Fortunately, I received an email from AwardWallet that my American Airlines miles were about to expire. I received no such notification from AA. Even better, AwardWallet let me know how I could ensure that I would not lose my miles, which includes 5 bonus miles for providing a comment to a blog post. Not to be suck-up, but I have been extremely pleased with AwardWallet which provides a great way of tracking my miles and also letting me know about points that are scheduled to expire.
I really like the award wallet tool. It has helped me monitor different mileage accounts and avoid having the points expire. Award wallet makes the process of keeping track of your miles so easy.
Excellent. This 5 miles really helps to keep my aa miles for a longer time.
Best tools to track miles IMO.
This is de best notice. Thanks AA and awardWallet. I am gong to recommended to my Friends.
Thanks so much for this blog!
Amazing amount of value for a meager $10 annual fee. Keep up the good work
I would have lost so many miles for now if it weren’t for AwardWallet, particularly during COVID-19. Thanks for helping me rescue my miles, y’all.
Miles got posted, yeah!
Great program and also got 2 other credit card offers from Award Wallet recommendations.
Eu achei esse método bem interessante, espero que isso me ajude a manter minhas milhas sempre.
This is an awesome way to keep my AA miles from expiring. Thank you!
The AA 5 miles deal is really great, but the really value for awardwallet is monitoring multiples fidelity accounts. thanks!
Thanks for this can keep my aa miles from expiring!
excellent! hopefully stop mine from expiring
My wife and I have recently started our journey towards Fi and making sure that we travel efficiently is a big part of that. Thank you AwardWallet for making it easy for us to track our points and ensure that we don’t lose them!
This is awesome! I m going to recommend this to my friends !
This is an outstanding reward for people needing to extend their miles. Thanks for setting this up.
Award Wallet is awesome!!!
This is a great way to ensure points don’t expire. Nothing worse than losing all those hard earned points!
Thanks!
Thanks for providing such a useful tool! During the pandemic it is really hard to prevent miles from expiring and this is a quick and convient way for most people to keep their AA miles from expiring. Thanks for the great services these years AwardWallet!
Thanks for the post.
I was interested in finding out if I qualify to open a Bask Bank account but when I clicked the “Open an account” button, I got an error message. I think earning AAdvantage points from banking is a great option.
Can a non-US citizen or resident open a Bask Bank account?
Unfortunately, only US citizens and legal residents are eligible at this time: “Account Qualifications – In order to be eligible for a Bask Savings Account you must, at a minimum, be 18 years of age, be a US citizen or legal resident, have a valid US Tax Payer Identification Number, and have a valid US address.”
The information on AwardWallet is very helpful and practical.
Due to Covid-19 I’m unable to travel for a while. That’s why this blog is so precious: a way to make our miles last longer than expected, so we can enjoy them properly when all this nightmare ends. Stay home folks!
Is the miles credit still working? I have made a comment a week ago and yet no miles deposited into my aa account. How long does it take these days?
Up to 5 business days if your comment is approved.
Awesome! I just received them! Thank you!
This is a great tool and great offer. Thanks. I have more than 10,000 miles about to expire and would one day like to fly again. I agree with post above — seems there is just no way to keep 6 feet apart, but if an airline comes up with a solution I’m right there..
This is the most amazing tool that actually exists in the airlines miles world to help you extend expiring miles. Specially this year that has been impossible to fly, and in my country (Argentina) I think it would still be difficult for a long time due to COVID19.
I think American is the last points program to have miles expire with inactivity, so this is super-helpful. But it’s a pretty bad policy during COVID19. I’ve stopped flying altogether.
What I’m surprised is that we haven’t seen safe flight options — where there are sufficient protections to keep us safe, and perhaps insurance if those protections turn out to be inadequate. I’d like to keep flying, and international airlines do things like foggers. I’d gladly pay extra to have plexiglass between rows (and ideally some kind of barrier to the aisle), a row to myself (optionally with travel companion), and guarantees that the seat was properly disinfected, that everyone has an N95 facemask, and so on.
Love it
I think this is a marvelous way to connect with customers and incentivize them to read and comment on blog posts. Nicely done!
Thank you for your post! Incredible! I really like this!!!
Really appreciate this service!
Thank you for your great blog.
I’m just wondering why the app doesn’t show when my Marriott Bonvoy points expire?
Please contact our support team if you have such questions:

Your blog is very informative and I really like your app!
Thank you!
Good to have the reminder feature. Wary of travel with COVID-19 spreading again in states opening up.
Thank you AwardWallet!
Really hope this works on the second attempt. Would be amazing to stop my hard earned miles expiring. COVID has really screwed things.
Thanks Award Wallet team.
great tool and a great way to avoid miles expiration
During the pandemic, my company has barred me from travel. AA has given travelers a reprieve, but allowing miles to expire is sad and wrong.
Seems this post is the only one that accepted my comment (yesterday). Haven’t seen the 5 points yet, as there was no pop up window asking me which account the points should go to. Might be because I posted one comment before came to this post. It limits one per day and the earlier comment did have a pop up. Tried again on this post today to see if it works or not.
Please contact our support team if you have such questions:

Finally got the 5 points reward today. It works. Now the expiration day is reset to another 1.4 year. Thank you!
Thanks for keeping my miles alive!
I began a search trying to ensure that the miles that cost me so much to obtain do not perish before their eventual expiration. However, on the way I came across something extremely interesting; I discovered a blog that not only allows us to achieve it, but also offers the opportunity to organize once and for all the most cumbersome part of this passion for traveling, the administrative part. It is extremely useful to have a tool that facilitates both our performance and, not less important, that collaborates with keeping alive the hope of touring the world again for all the passionate people who use time and money in pursuit of this constant conquest.
Appreciate the tip!
Tried adding a couple comment on other posts, but none got accepted. Doesn’t seem to work. All regular comments, why got rejected?
This such a great way to both help customers out, especially during this pandemic where travel isn’t happening, but to also cultivate a feel of community! I will definitely be coming back to see what others are saying about this program.
Wow , what a resource this page is turning out to be! I was told to come here to find out more about how I can maximize my usage to my frequent flyer rewards program and this is pretty much a “one stop shopping” for all the info I will need!
So far have only scratch the surface on learning about different programs, looking forward to logging in on a regular basis to keep up!
Kudos!
Thank you again to AwardWallet in providing a plethora of accurate and wide-ranging information for travelers. As with many of us, I have had to cancel our travel plans for this upcoming summer and are trying to find local trips that we can drive to.
Great tip on the shopping portal, I have not previously used that so might give that a try.
Thank you again!
Thank you for this great service allowing me to keep miles active!
AwardWallet has amazing tips and provide useful information. Thank you for the efforts you put to keep the website up to date. My AA miles are expiring in a few weeks and with the global pandemic, renting a car or booking a hotel/flight isn’t an option. Will definitely recommend this website to others. Cheers
Thank you! This is great information and an easy way to retain hard-earned miles during the pandemic! It was easy to register and connect my accounts — what a great service.
Thanks for letting me know about this!
This has saved my miles! As a bonus I’ve learned about earning even more miles via the shopping portal! What a useful webpage.
Fantastic resource! Thank you so much Award Wallet!
I don’t think there is a way easier than this to retain your hard earned miles. Thanks Awardwallet team for not letting my years worth of effort go down the drain.
This is great way to keep my miles from expiring! Thanks!
You’re welcome!
Great way to keep my miles. Can’t wait to use some after COVID, seems like forever since I’ve traveled.
I continue coming back to use this tool to keep miles active. Always a good way to reconnect with my AwardWallet account.
I’ve heard about award wallet for a while, but only signed up now. Its amazing how its so easy to use and so convenient. Wish I would have signed up earlier! Hope that I will never have miles expire on me from now on!
with being unwilling grounded currently,this initiative is most appreciated.its a good way to get people onto the blog,where this are some pretty informative articles.i wouldnt have found them without this initiative.thanks
This is a very good tip. Thanks so much AwardWallet!
Great post, thanks for helping me keep my miles alive.
When I received the email from awardwallet about the miles expiring, I was worried about how to keep them active. Thankfully, the email had a link on how to do exactly that and to make it even easier, they provide a way to do that on the blog itself! What a great way to keep the account active!
This is a great feature, especially when travel is so limited. Thanks!
