Interested in earning American Airlines AAdvantage® miles without having to pick up a credit card or hop on a flight with American and their partners? How about 5 AAdvantage® miles simply for having a comment approved on our blog?
We want you to share and engage with us. For that, we'll provide you 5 miles towards any active AAdvantage® account you have linked to your AwardWallet user profile. You're limited to earning 5 miles per AwardWallet user per day, so come back and comment each day. We've answered most questions below, so please read on for more details.
Want an Even Easier Way to Earn AAdvantage® Miles?
If you want to earn AAdvantage® miles on autopilot, we recommend opening a Bask Savings Account. Each month, instead of interest you'll earn miles. Every dollar you save earns one mile annually—and that can add up fast for your next big trip.

Frequent Questions on Earning Miles for Comments
Who is eligible? Anyone with a valid AAdvantage® account linked to their AwardWallet account.
Where do I go to earn miles? Visit the comments section on any of our blog posts. (Including this one)
When do I earn the miles? Miles can be earned on a daily basis and will be submitted for deposit each day, however, it may take up to 5 business days for the miles to post to your account. If your miles will expire in less than 5 business days, we've listed some fast ways to generate activity in our post about the AAdvantage® mile expiration policy.
What if I leave multiple comments? We're happy to hear from you multiple times per day. But you'll only earn 5 miles for the first comment. Our day starts at 12:00 a.m. and ends at 11:59 p.m. U.S. Eastern time. We use the time your comment is submitted to the blog (rather than when it is approved and published) to determine whether you will be awarded miles.
How do I 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.

Thanks for such informative posting. Now I found the most convenient, easiest way to extend my AA miles !
Awardwallet is such a great tool, thanks for the ability to easily extend expiration of AA miles!
AA needs to be more proactive about expiry notifications.
This is a great benefit for AwardWallet members. Thank you for continuing to innovate and keep the members engaged in the AwardWallet community.
Just discovered your site. Thanks for the easy way to keep my miles from expiring.
Thank you! I appreciate your providing this service
Thank you for providing an easy way to keep my miles active!
This is such a great way to keep an account active! I haven’t traveled during the pandemic and came upon this article as my miles are expiring soon, and I’m so glad I found it! All of the information is so helpful and does a great job of clarifying questions. Thank you again for providing such a detailed article!
The AwardWallet site was unknown to me, but I must say it is of very high value in particular for people not residing in the US, but having US airline frequent flier accounts (like me e.g.) Living in Europe, I can’t have a US credit card to earn miles, so when not travelling during Covid I see miles in great risk of expiring. The tips and tricks on AwardWallet are most valuable, and I will share the with friends in the same situation.
I’m going to see if I can do this to extend my parent’s exipration dates. I’ll report back if successful.
Thanks for publishing this blog post about AA miles expiration! I wouldn’t have known that my miles were expiring otherwise, and I really appreciate the notification email that I received, which conveniently linked to the blog post about how to extend them! It’s a really great user experience.
Thank you, I really aprecciate this!
Thanks for helping me to extend the expiration of miles for AA!
Thanks for such a great tool to keep up with my accounts and miles!
It’s a great service particularly for someone based outside North America without ready access to miles earning options.
Explored this website – seems great information on multiple airline miles etc. Also, keeping track of multiple miles programs.
I appreciate you guys doing this. Huge lifesaver since I haven’t flown AA in a while!
Wow wish i knew this earlier! I will give it a try, hopefully I can get it like others did! Thanks!
Great!
What a life saver. Thank goodness for resources like this one during this strange time. Back to flying soon, though!
AA miles used not to expire and the new policy seems entirely unhelpful (save, perhaps, to AA’s accounts as contingent liabilities expire).
Thank you for the great info! This is really useful for ‘casual’ traverlers!
AwardWallet is really a lifesaver. I really do not have the opportunity to travel amid this Covid-19 pandemic. The reminder from AwardWallet lets me know I have lots of points which are going to expires soon… OMG! What should I do to save my points! Luckily enough, I found AwardWallet provides lots of ways to save my points. Here I come！
Thank you for this great service!
Can’t tell you how big of a lifesaver this is. I’m starting travel again post pandemic just after my miles are set to expire. Thank you!
Have got 7k AA Miles expiring in July. Thankfully this comment can saves those miles. Thanks so much AwardWallet!
I’ve learned more from this site on how to use miles most effectively across airlines and cards. Thanks for maintaining this great site.
This is the second time I’ve used this awesome AwardWallet option to keep my AA miles from expiring. It’s super helpful – thanks!
I’m glad AwardWallet helps keep track of mileage expiration for me. I’ve had significant miles expire right out from under me without realizing it. Now, even better, I can avoid that expiration just by making this post. Great service!
I was worried my points were going to have to expire, I don’t have much as it is and I didn’t want to lose those. Thank you very much. Great Service
Hi, I’ve been using AwardWallet for 10 years now and it’s a valuable service!
A couple comments:
– My Amtrak account wasn’t updating and AwardWallet told me to “use Forgot Password” – which wasn’t very helpful, and wasn’t clear if it was on Amtrak’s site or AwardWallet’s. What I needed to do was edit the account and update the password.
– Your site would really benefit from a redesign to make it easier on the eyes! Especially the dark mode is aggressive.
Thank you for the feedback! In case of any issues please contact us via this page: https://awardwallet.com/contact so we would be able to assist.
As the grace period for expiration comes to an end soon, many of us with AA miles are looking for a way to keep them active until we can travel again. Thank you for making this possible!
Great info to avoid expiration of my AA miles — thanks!!
Thank you for the tip. I’m a new user of AwardWallet, so far I really like the app. and love to read more tips.
With the current Covid restrictions for travel to/from the U.K. it is vital for any person with mileage nearing expiration to check their accounts. Fortunately for me AwardWallet have given me enough time to extend my soon to expire AAdvantage miles by giving me the opportunity to post this warning. It really is an outstanding service.
I haven’t traveled in quite some time due to the virus, and just realized my AA miles are going to expire imminently. Found this blog post in the nick of time. It’s good to know you can always donate in a pinch to refresh the timer.
Thanks AwardWallet for extending the expiration date of my AA miles!
Thanks for letting everyone know about free options for extending their mile expiration!
First, thank you for the notification that there is this option to add some AA points.
One thing I’ve noticed is that as many online sites have increased their security systems, to include dual factor authentication and the use of Captcha, it is becoming harder for my Award Wallet to update. It would be useful if there were a way to authenticate without having to go back and manually log in to each site now. Otherwise, Award Wallet is really not as useful as a “one stop shop”.
Just my 2 cents!
Thanks!
Thank you! If you have any other requests we recommend sending them via this page: https://awardwallet.com/contact
My expiration dates did NOT CHANGE since I wrote the comments. Does anyone know why not?? Thanks. Is there something I have to do?
Did you select your AA account while posting the comment? Please try using a different web browser and make sure you are signed in to your AwardWallet account before leaving a comment. Ensure that you have at least one AA account that is correctly updating. Besides, please consider clearing your AwardWallet cookies/cache. Browser cookie caches sometimes become corrupt, which is out of the control of AwardWallet.
Haven’t used AA Miles in a while. AwardWallet offers several different options to keep your points from expiring.
This is a lifesaver. Thanks!
Wow this blog is amazing! I spent hours racking my brains on how to spend AA miles before their expiration in 2 months and then realized that through this I am not forced to buy junk I really dont want to. Thanks Awardwallet!
If I’m logged into AwardWallet and not getting the pop-up to select the right AA account, what am I doing wrong? It worked a couple of days ago…

Many thanks for helping my miles to stay on !
This is a brilliant idea, I love awardwallet!
Giving people the option to earn miles and keep existing AAdvantage miles from expiring by commenting is easy – it’s good customer service. I hadn’t used AwardWallet in a long time, and this was a great way to remind me how valuable it is. Thanks for making this process easy.
Thanks for providing such an easy way to keep my miles from expiring!
Thanks for keeping my miles active!
Thank you for the detailed explanations about Americal Airlines Miles. And thank you for your service!
Thanks AwardWallet for the tips on keeping my miles active!
Thanks Awardwallet!
This is such a useful tip! With Covid cancelling travel plans it has been hard to have account activity. Extending miles by leaving comments is a great tip! It also caused me to set up an Award Wallet account. Win win.
I’ve been using Award Wallet for years and it’s fantastic for tracking absolutely everything. No competitor comes close!
This is a big help! Award Wallet alerted me my miles were set to expire soon and also provided the way to keep them from doing so!
Great resource!
This is awesome , I kinda stumbled upon your blog from the points guy site .
I didn’t know what I was missing . Super useful for managing my points .
Thanks !
Do you know how long the next round of “expirations” will be?
We will update the blog post as soon as we know anything about this!
Great resource and top notch information. Extremely happy I found this site. Will be using it all the time for my travel awards/rewards related information.
I’ve been sitting on my AA miles for a long time, hoping to make good use of them when the world gets back to normal, fingers crossed
Thank you AwardWallet for letting me have an option to keep my miles from expiring, as we are still not allowed to travel from Singapore unless for certain approved reasons.
I really appreciate AwardWallet as a one stop shop for keeping track of award miles programs. Otherwise it would be difficult to keep each program current, especially during these restricted travel times. Thanks to monitoring them for me, i will get to save almost 20,000 miles. Thanks to American Airlines as well for pausing miles expiration during COVID.
Thanks AwardWallet for the tips on keeping my miles active!
Thanks very much for helping to keep my miles active, AwardWallet! I found out about this blog from ThePointsGuy. I am unable to redeem my points for travel during this pandemic, but using this blog to earn miles and prevent points expiration is definitely helpful. I will be reading future blog posts to learn as much as I can about airline miles and making the best use out of them.
Thank you Award Wallet for helping me keep track and for an easy way to keep my miles active!
I can’t wait until we can all travel again.
Amazing. This is a great service. Love AwardWallet.
This is great information. Thanks!
Thanks for the tips on keeping my miles active!
Thanks you AwardWallet, I’ve been using your app for many years to keep track of all my loyalty programs and I tell all my friends about it!
I truly appreciate the services offered by AwardWallet. In addition to keeping track of hotel and airline points, it has been very helpful in reminding me when mileage points expire as well as flight changes. I have have been a member of AwardWallet for several years now and it is worthwhile to protect miles and keeping informed.
I will be taking my first flight in three months. Unfortunately it’s with China Eastern which is no longer a partner AA. So thanks for the offer to keep my AA miles alive!
Super happy to use this service to maintain a valid account. Thanks Awardwallet
Great blog post to keep miles from expiring. Just one more indication that American Airlines is understanding and in it for the long haul as a company
Thanks for tracking all my points, AwardWallet! I think your service is great.
I signed up to extend my American miles. I hope it works. I didn’t realize how quickly my miles could expire. I pretty much fly exclusively United or American half and half 6-12 times a year but haven’t flown since Jan 2020. The pandemic feels incredibly long and at the same time incredibly short.
In order to set up an account here I needed to give my American login password. I guess that’s how websites like this work, but I’m always leery of giving one website another website’s password. It seems less safe. Any reassuring comments?
No need to worry! Your security is our top priority. You can find all the information on our security practices here: https://awardwallet.com/faqs#10
Thanks for helping me save the few AA miles I have. I’m impressed with how people hack their trips so well.
I received an email from AA saying that if one joins their anniversary celebration sweepstake, the miles will be extended. I did join and the miles are still shown to expire on July 1st. Anyone with similar experience?
Thank you for this post. This is awesome! Especially this year with COVID-19 and travel pause for Business, it is helpful to not loose miles previously accrued.
I would’ve lost a crushing amount of points/miles the past year if not for AwardWallet’s reminders about point expiration. Despite most travel being put on hold for 15 months, AwardWallet continues to ensure that the show will go on once this is all behind us. So thankful for that!
Thanks for the updates!
It is very comforting to know companies out there are considering the welfare of, and impact on, their customers during this pandemic. It is affecting many people economically in many ways and this is just one way to help them out financially (keeping earned miles from expiring). Thanks.
I’m grateful that I can track my family’s travel rewards in Award Wallet, not just my own. My mother would never bother, but I’m able to save her and me money by handling it for her. Woot!
I am truly grateful to Award Wallet! The folks there, with their attention to detail and serious desire to help people travel affordably have saved me money by helping me see when points are expiring, so I can do something about it! Love it!
Thank you, AwardWallet for keeping me up to date with all my ‘miles’ accounts … and providing a quick, easy way to add miles to my account❣️
This tip is very important! Now i can know what to do when my miles are expiring! Great info.
Thank you! This article saved my miles 🙂
Thank you for allowing my American Airlines points to not expire. Much appreciated!
Thanks! Lets see does this work out
Best way to extend your miles, I used to get magazines that no one reads these days.
The Award Wallet membership is priceless, when you manage many accounts.
Thanks to AwardWallet for keeping track of mileage expiration date. That’s one less thing to keep track of!
Thanks for such a convenient way to keep miles fresh
Thanks for posting about this. I haven’t been able to travel to the USA due to Covid Restrictions so it’s good to know that this is an option to keep miles active!
I can’t wait to start flying again, and using my AA miles that were going to expire if not for AwardWallet and this blog. Thank you!
Travel restrictions during the pandemic have had far reaching effects. One effect is the potential for Advantage miles to expire. I was glad to get the notice of the expiration date in time to take precautions. I saw that American had partnered with the Red Cross so that donations could earn miles as well. Great combination assuming the donation also extends the expiration deadline. Do you know if it does?
We covered this topic here: https://awardwallet.com/blog/american-airlines-miles-expire
Thank you for keeping us informed and for providing a way to extend mileage awards during the pandemic, I am looking into the Bask Savings Account too. Does anyone have any experience with the bank? Fees? Minimums? Thx!
I really like the way Awards wallet keeps their eyes on my rewards when I cannot. I like the program and how it recommends the best rewards credit cards. I think awards wallet should have their own credit card that can store all the rewards in one place.
As for American Airlines policy, I am somewhat disappointed in their cancelling earned rewards just because people are afraid to travel during Covid.
I also think that they should consider non-stop flights from Tampa to BWI airport. Southwest supports 7-9 daily non-stop flights but that you cannot earn first class seating with their miles. A business class ticket just gets you on the plane sooner!?
I wish I could do my usual business trips with American so I could earn American points for business class travel.
Thanks,
Jerry
Any suggestions on getting AA points for a past trip (earlier in 2021)? I don’t have the ticket #s anymore, but could dig out the Reservation Locator ID. Looked at their site and didn’t see much help there…
If you have the record locator, I’d suggest searching your email for that PNR. In AA’s confirmation email, you’ll find the ticket number under the “Your purchase” section of the email.
This blog was very helpful in 2 ways. How to gain miles quickly before my miles expire. I had not not known that before! Thank you!
Wow, I am glad that Awardwallet saved me from losing my miles. I am a long time member and very thankful for the service! I am very curious how you actually can gift 5 miles at a time. Transferring miles on American’s site can only be done in 1000 mile increments, and they charges a very large fee!
Thanks for this! My AA miles expire soon and I haven’t seen the expiration date extended from the 40th anniversary celebration yet.
AwardWallet has been a great tool for keeping track of miles across multiple earnings platforms. Also, you all provide great information about new opportunities for earning points/miles through a variety of offers and you do this without overwhelming my email box which is a huge bonus when we have so much email to manage. Thanks for offering such a helpful and effective platform to make it easier for people to explore the world around them without breaking the bank!
Been following Award Wallet since the beginning! Loving how far it has come. It’s been super helpful to say the least to track everything in one place. Thanks for all the hard work!
Thanks for this great choice!!! 5 stars!
This was incredibly helpful! Was nervous about expiration and this provides a great way to keep those miles fresh. Thanks for doing it!
Thanks for giving us this unique opportunity to prevent our AAdvantage miles from expiring!
This is great – I didn’t travel much pre-pandemic, but don’t want to lose what I had. Can’t wait to try again in the future.
Excellent idea and a great way to maintain miles. The blog is a wonderful resource for the community
This is a really creative value add you’re providing your users with. I personally thank you for this!
Big thanks for your continued support, really helpful to prevent my AA miles from expiring especially during the current hard time!
Thanks for this helpful info!
This is a great way to engage with Award Wallet and keep AA miles current. We have multiple family members on this account so am curious to see how this will work with non-primary members. Thanks again!
Between this and the 40th anniversary giveaway lots of ways to get AA miles!
Thanks to AwardWallet Blog for all the great advice, especially the lessons on the preservation of expiring AA miles. Commenting is the best deal around.
American Airlines really looks bad letting miles expire during a pandemic when we’re not supposed to travel. Thanks for giving me a way to get more miles to extend them, Award Wallet.
We love award wallet! This is my second post regarding how great it is that award wallet helps us keep our American Airlines miles active. (for some reason the 5 points never made it to my account) so I am posting again! I have not been able to travel due to the pandemic so thank you for keeping my points valid with american airlines. Greatly appreciate it!
Thank you for this easy way to extend miles on American Airlines.
This is a fantastic way to keep AA miles from expiring during the pandemic. I’m starting to plan travel again for the summer and fall, but my AA miles would’ve otherwise expired before I could redeem them. Beyond the American credit, AwardWallet has been great at helping me keep track of my rewards points across many different accounts. Thank you!
Thank you for the ability to extend the expiration date. Since we have not been traveling or eating out it has not been easy to earn miles. This saves me from having to buy them! I thought having the credit card kept the miles from expiring, but it didn’t, so I cancelled it for now, since we weren’t using it anyway.
Great Blog, great opportunity to prevent my miles from expiring. Love it!
Thanks awardwallet! This is the third time awardwallet has notified me on expiring points now, which has obviously been super helpful to keep track of various accounts.
I really appreciate that you have this option as a way to keep my miles from expiring. I was getting pretty nervous.
Thanks for providing a way to extend mileage awards when we are not traveling during the pandemic, following public health guidelines and working within the local community to direct our resources to the most vulnerable. Thank you for putting safety first, American Airlines.
This is a great idea! Thanks to AwardWallet for keeping track of my miles even when I’m not traveling anywhere. 😊
it was very good to know that!
Thanks for introducing this program to extend AA moles by posting. Seems silly these workarounds are required by certain carriers, particularly given that recent travel aspirations have been significantly impacted for many by the Covid pandemic.
This is great – It’s sometimes hard to have activity since my business travel has been restricted, and I don’t know if the miles from the recent 40 year anniversary will post in time! Also, thanks for the notice that mile-expiration is delayed until July!
Great
Is there any indication as to whether the delayed expiration will be extended past June 30?
This tip kept me from having to purchase miles. Thanks!
I manage quite a few reward accounts. I have no idea how I would keep up with them all without AwardWallet. What a great service and value!
Oh no. My AA miles are expiring. Help!
Great blog! Great news and very good information! Thanks!
This is a great perk to using AwardWallet. I’ve been using AwardWallet for years, but this is my first time checking out the blog.
Thank you for these tips; this is very helpful. As someone that routinely traveled 2-3 times per month, I never paid attention to mileage/point expiration. I was going through my inbox and stumbled across an email from AA.com about my miles — which have been accumulating for over a decade — were set to expire this summer. While I’m sure I’ll get back to traveling for work eventually, I have nothing on the horizon.
Super helpful, thank you so much!
Thanks for Great tip, 👍
What a great idea. Very low cost for AwardWallet, but very high value for travelers to make sure miles/points don’t expire.
I had not heard of this site before being directed here by a friend, and am now exploring around – seems like a very useful way to keep track of my multitude of loyalty programs. I used to do that in a spreadsheet, lol, but it was hard to keep up to date.
I’m glad there are ways for customers to save their hard earned mileage points through these uncertain times. 🙏🏾
Like others, I have not been traveling during the pandemic. I am thrilled to learn ways to keep the miles I have accumulated over the years (and even earn more without going anywhere!). I didn’t realize that the expiration date didn’t apply to children. It was a relief to know that I don’t have to worry about them losing their rewards as well. Thank you. I look forward to the day that we’re ready to travel again!
Just a suggestion. You might want to send a notification through email whether a comment was approved
I’ve been a loyal Aadvantage member for years and years, and prefer American when I fly to any served destination. I think it’s very kind of AA to defer expiration of miles at a time when kindness is needed most. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for providing this! I missed the days before pandemic and never worried about miles expiring. Hopefully, the world can be back to normal later this year, or next year…
Just set up my Award Wallet account and linked my points. What lifesaver! I didn’t realize my AA miles were expiring, and it let me know. Thank you for putting all of this information into one place!
I kept putting off figuring out how I was going to save my precious AA miles after not being able to travel for so long, and this is just perfect. Another reason to love AwardWallet!
Okay, so I already thought that Awardwallet was awesome, but this top up deal? Killer.
Glad I saw this before my points expire! Got some travel planned and can make use of these.
Thanks for the information and the article, this is a great way to extend the expiration date on my miles. This is Great!!
This is an amazing benefit! So glad I found out about this, especially with travel so unappealing now that Covid is sticking around…
Can’t thank Awardwallet team enough for this kind gesture to keep the points active!
During this time of uncertainty, it’s awesome that there’s a way to keep m points active. I hope that we can all stay safe and be traveling again soon!
I am hoping to plan a trip to Hong Kong, and really appreciate all the advice and organization that AwardWallet and it’s community provides!
Bless your souls!
So glad I found this website! I have so many different travel reward accounts for different airlines and hotels and this will be incredibly helpful for keeping track of them all in one place. Even just entering all my accounts in I learned of hotel points expiring 3 months from now that I had no idea about!
This is a free way to keep my AA points from expiring! Thanks!
Just learned about Awards Wallet while searching for ways to keep my AA miles active. What a great service! Loyalty programs are useless if you can’t keep track of them. Thanks Award Wallet!
Great info! Thanks
AwardWallet helps me keep track of all of my points, miles, and expiration dates. Very thankful for them!
I just found out about this site today and the offer to credit points to AA account prompted me to sign up today.
Thank you for letting me know about the revised expiration dates. AwardWallet ia something I have used since 2011 to manage all my airlines and credit cards points. Thanks again, AwardWallet. 🙂
It’s great to have a program to keep my miles given the covi-19 situation. Really wish this adversity go away asap.
This is a great chance to prevent my miles from expiration. I hope covid-19 go away and get the times to travel a lot.
Thanks for sharing this information!
Keeping track of miles during times of reduced business and personal travel is crucial and thanks to AwardWallet I receive email reminders when my points are at risk of expiring. Truly a great service!
Thank you for offering this service – it is a great way to earn additional points plus to keep points from expiring
I am thrilled to learn how to not let my miles expire. June 2021 isn’t enough time to be regularly traveling again and award wallet helped me preserve my bank
I wasn’t aware there was an expiration on miles and I have quite a few that would be expiring if it weren’t for award wallet sending me a heads up and explaining what to do to easily extend the deadline!! Really appreciate it among the many other great services provided.
I’m so glad I can keep my miles from expiring. Thank you Award Wallet.
I love AwardWallet. I have numerous accounts and loyalty balances and AwardWallet is the only way I can easily navigate and manage these accounts so I can use them to their full value (and keep my sanity)! I don’t even have to remember to check AwardWallet when they send an automatic email with new account balances after recent transactions.
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. A service that aggregates all my awards programs AND offers a bonus simply for engaging? During COVID that’s especially helpful to me, as I travel less and might have expiring points.
Far better site and service than the competitors (points guy, etc.). Well done Award Wallet. Thx.
Thanks AwardWallet. I have been able to extend my AA miles expiration and earn some too.
Thank you so much for emailing me a heads up that my AA miles would expire! I appreciate you looking out for us.
This is good to know. Thanks!
Posting to extend expiration of my AA miles. Hopefully getting closer to being able to actually travel again and use those miles! Thanks AwardWallet for helping me keep track of my kids’ miles and my miles and extend expirations until we can use them.
I was very happy to have found and read your article on earning AAdvantage program bonus miles just for commenting on the article here. Given the current situation with Covid-19 and the lack of travel it has created, I was concerned about what I needed to do to keep from having miles expire in that program due to lack of travel.
I think this article and method could help others as well because I was thinking I may have to buy some miles just to keep my account in good standing. This method allows me to continue to bank my miles and not have to speculate by purchasing miles that I do not have a specific plan to use.
Thankyou again,
I dont like using credit card related opportunities to add miles. Often there are annual fees.
I’ve told many friends and family members about AwardWallet and their partnership with AAdvantage miles. Most have taken advantage of the ability to extend the expiration date of their hard earned miles. Not sure why anyone who is aware of this would not take advantage of this outstanding opportunity.
Thanks for keeping us aware of the revised expiration dates and offering easy ways to keep miles from expiring!
Great blog and great way to extend the expiration date on my miles, thanks a lot!
Is the current sign-up bonus on the AA MileUp card (10,000 miles + $50 credit) worth taking advantage of, or do they sometimes increase the bonus?
This is the general offer on this card. I haven’t seen a higher offer – but that doesn’t mean one might not come around later. This isn’t a great sign-up bonus, but it’s not bad for a no-annual-fee card and only a $500 spending requirement.
Thanks Award Wallet! I really appreciate you picking up the slack for airlines that don’t seem to have a pulse on the needs of their customers!
I have been an Award Wallet user for 5 years now and find it indispensable not only for keeping track of my airline mileage accounts but also informing me of expirations, promotions, and other ways to use my miles most effectively. thanks!
This is an absolute gem of a find – thank you so much for helping us keep those miles from expiring!
I left my initial comment nearly a month ago but apparently did not hit the assign miles to this AA account. Hopefully this comment will correct that oversight.
I live in the UK and this is a great way to preserve my AAdvantage air miles.
Being in the UK I cannot take advantage of the majority ways to keep my AA miles. Awardwallet allows me to easily keep my miles whilst we navigate this unprecedented time with travel extremely limited.
This blog is great!
I’m really glad I read the most recent blog post before just buying miles. This site anyways had great and informative articles.
Award Wallet is a critical part of my points & miles management. The AA miles for commenting is such a great feature.
I was looking at the blog for ways to keep my AA miles from expiring and found this post, Thank you so much
Truly love this platform, having signed up for several reward programs with flight, hotel and credit card rewards, offering one location to keep track of them all is an amazing value for me. The most important feature for me is the automated responses I receive from AwardWallet when my points are about to expire. It’s saved me from losing points on several occasions. If that wasn’t enough, AwardWallet even offers this promotion where they’ll issue you miles just by engaging with the community via comments. I’ll be a member for years to come.
Great idea !
Lifesaver! I had no idea saving my miles could be this easy! Thank you!
What a relief to find AwrdWallet and keep my AAdvantage miles from expiring. Thanks.
You Guys Are Awesome!
Thank you for this offer without which I would have lost my points.
Thanks to awardwallet for providing useful information on how to extend miles that are expiring soon! Life saver!
This is a very interesting promotion. An extremely easy way to prevent your AA points from expiring
This is an amazing promo! Glad I came across it.
This is super handy to extend my miles. I love AwardWallet!
Hey AwardWallet- thank you for offering your services. Even with a free account, the tool has been very useful in keeping my miles tracked. I’ve been recommending your site to friends and family. Keep up the great work.
This is such a great promotion! Thank you, and thank you for the expiration reminders. Without those I would have forgotten and lost hundreds of thousands of points.
So helpful! You folks keep coming up with ways to make lives easier for those of us who try to make use of these frequent flyer programs.
This is a big value, especially in the era of COVID. The speed of the points deposit is a big win. I made a purchase through the AA shopping site to keep my wife’s points alive and they quote 6 – 12 weeks for purchase points to post.
Thanks Awardwallet. Hopefully AA will follow with the other airlines and get rid of the expiration date on their miles.
Thanks for putting this information together, I really like it. Greetings from Argentina.
I just discovered this and this is absolutely a great way to earn miles.
Pretty awesome way to keep my miles from expiring! Always enjoyed reading AwardWallet, so convenient place to do so!
I was not quite sure if this works at first. Then my wife used her account to do it to prevent the AA expire this July. It works! Thanks AwardWallet for helping us. It is really not easy to keep the miles alive in this pandemic time.
Thanks for keeping AA miles alive. AwardWallet is the best travel tracker!
I wonder who pays for these extra miles- seems very generous indeed! Nevertheless, a helpful tip.
This is a neat and unique promotion. I’ve never run across anything similar.
I was a bit skeptical that something so simple & free would help prevent the loss of my miles. After reading all the comments, I’m pleasantly surprised and pleased that this is not a scam, since you can never be too sure these days. Thank you for allowing this as an option, lifesaver! I actually just purchased some items from the AA AAdvantage e-shopping for my son’s AAdvantage account for over $100, this is a MUCH better option.
Its so nice for Awardwallet to provide a fast and convenient way to extend AA mileage. Its also nice for AA to allow Awardwallet to do so. I had over 100k Singapore airline points expired on me , wish they could have had some ways to extend it because apparently when points accumulated, it does not automatically extend the exp. of the old points.
Love AwardWallet! Thanks for all you offer!
I was looking at the blog for ways to keep my AA miles from expiring and I found this! Thank you guys!
Thanks for the information and the article, this is a great way to extend our miles expriry date and we even get 5 miles to do it! A+++++
Thanks for this great info! Just learned about your site and will be using it in the future.
Thanks to AwardWallet for providing this very helpful service to us to extend the expiry of AA miles
This is a super informational post. Thanks for extending the mileage expiration and notifying me about how to use miles to keep them from expiring, Award Wallet is also a great tool that The Points Guy highlighted along with his tip to comment on your blog posts. Thanks again.
Being in the UK, it’s difficult to keep my AA miles from expiring, as we don’t have an AA credit card here. With leisure travel still banned, I am grateful to AwardWallet for this opportunity to extend my AA miles’ validity.
I am sooo glad I didn’t unsubscribe in my last email “purge”.
You guys have super helpful info, and nice little perks like these bonus points.
Last thing people want is expired points while they couldn’t travel.
Thank you!
This is great information! Thanks for posting!
American should push out their expiration date further… or better yet follow the leader (Southwest) and don’t have them expire at all!
My husband used this to keep his American Airlines AAdvantage miles from expiring and it worked. So now I’m here to do the same thing. Thanks AwardWallet!
Great way to extend the expiration date on my miles, thanks a lot!
Thanks for sharing this! This is a great way to easily extend my AA miles while I am not flying right now, and at the same time keep track of all of my travel accounts.
Thanks so much to AwardWallet and AA for making this arrangement to earn points. AA is the only major airline left that still lets miles expire, so at least they are making the effort to make it easy for their customers to keep their loyalty accounts active. I’m pleasantly surprised to see this as an option.
This seems like a great way to keep AA miles from expiring. Thanks, AwardWallet
Many thanks Awardwallet!!
I appreciate the abilty to extend our Aavantage miles due to the pandemic lockdown and inabilty to fly American this last year. My wife was able to finaly visit her 93 year old mother using American miles and said that the flight and food was great!
We’re looking forward to flying American again in the near futue.
Best,
Micahel Zelver
Award Wallet has saved me several times from allowing AA miles to expire. It’s easy to let AW manage both mine and my wife’s Credit Card, Airline, Hotel, and Bank Loyalty Programs, and is worth the small annual fee because the value of losing points inadvertently (through expiring) far exceeds the annual fee, plus the organization and being able to survey all Loyalty/Award accounts and their value on one web page is immense.
Thanks so much for giving us the opportunity to extend the expiry of my AA miles. I really appreciate it.
This is amazing… thank you
This seems like a great way to maintain my points.
Thank you Awardwallet for making arrangements for 5 bonus AAdvantage miles to keep my AA.com account active.
The facility is much appreciated and highly valued
Cheers Kate Kirwin
This was so helpful! Thank you so much for the info. So glad I joined Award Wallet to be able to keep track of all my hard-earned points! Keep these great tips coming!
Thank you, AwardWallet, this a great way to extend the expiration date of your AA miles and learn new ways of earing them!
So happy I found your website through The Points Guy. Thanks for making it super easy to track when all my miles will be expiring in one place!
This seems like a great way to keep AA miles from expiring. Thanks AwardWallet!
This is a great way to extend the expiration date of your AA miles; and earn a few along the way as well. Thanks AwardWallet.
Great tip on how to extend my miles.
Thanks, AwardWallet, this is excellent. We already have the AA credit card, which works well for keeping one account current, but not mine. With no travel this past year, I was trying to figure out how to keep what I had earned. I no longer have to worry with this great capability – my miles are (finally) safe! Thanks again.
Thanks for letting me know my AA miles were about to expire — I would have lost them without your email!
Great website to consolidate all your travel needs and credit cards in a single website. Also love to see the new offers that come out and helpful travel related hints.
Thank you for all your help in keeping my mileage plans and credit card points up to date! It’s make the process so much easier for me and I haven’t lost any points or miles due do experations.
Cheers!
Ric
Great program!
Thank you, AwardWallet!
I really appreciate this option to extend my mile expiry. How do I know that the miles has been added to my account after I post the comments. Will I get an e-mail notification or will I have to wait until my next AAdvantage statement update to find out? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You for this article . i am an AA frequent flyer with over 400,000 miles .
I am flying quite a lot , but now , due Covid lockdowns, my miles may expire .
i want to test this comment feature , to receive 5 miles which will save my miles from expiring .
Thanks
Tom
This is outstanding!
Wow, I’m excited to find this website. I was directed here by a friend. Great tips especially about keeping my AA miles active. Great research and easy to use.
HI Award Wallet – thanks for your help and suggestions over the years. You are our “go to” place to keep organized and plan our trips. We appreciate your expert advice and assistance in keeping our AA miles from expiring. Its so great!!! We look forward to traveling by air next year….if all is safe and sound. Thanks again.
Thank you Award Wallet! Sadly, we have not been traveling much and looks like we won’t be flying for awhile longer but we are looking forward to a road trip this summer. We enjoy your tips and helpful suggestions and cant wait to travel via plane again. So glad we can keep our miles from expiring – they are precious to us. Thank you !!!
Thanks for helping save my AA miles! I was about to buy some unnecessary miles before coming across this post.
Thanks to AwardWallet for the 5 AA miles!
Greetings from Australia – the land down under.
Just a short note to say thank you Awardwallet for making the opportunity available to reset the American Advantage miles expiry date on my AA.com account.
It has been a difficult time for many people around the world.
The knowledge that one day travel will be again possible and my AA miles will be prevented from expiring is a blessing in these dark times.
Thank you
Cheers Brendan
Great info!!!
This is an amazing policy! Thank you so much for all the great content, AwardWallet really does a great job looking out for the consumer. Excited to use my miles after this pandemic is behind us.
I am trying to determine if I have to fly by the expiration date or book travel for later by the expiration date.
Thanks for let me know. Now I can keep my AA miles!
Highly recommend AwardWallet as it’s the best place to keep track of expiring points and how to keep them alive! Thanks!
Thanks for this neat trick to keep miles from expiring. Much appreciated!
Thanks to AwardWallet. You have saved my miles!
Thanks for these great tips. Right now AA is running a 40th anniversary promotion on their website that can earn points or other rewards too. This is yet another way you can earn points to keep your account alive.
This is a great way to preserve miles that have had to sit…..like most of us!
I love Award Wallet and now I love it even more knowing they give 5 American Advantage Miles for leaving a comment. You guys are amazing!
Thanks to Award Wallet for monitoring my points to makes sure I get the most out of them. Greatly appreciate the reminders, makes is much easier to make sure my points don’t expire!
Great program
Praise The Lord that I found this site!! Ugh I have spent so much money over the years paying to transfer my miles or purchase more when they are close to expiring. I’m pumped that I can now avoid an extra cost with American Airlines but also just to have this whole site for tools! Score!
Thanks so much this blog and Award Wallet have saved my miles!!!
The little tips and tricks are what keeps me coming back
Glad I saw this blog to save my AAdvantage miles.
Helps me keep reminders of when my miles may expire.
Really appreciate the service.
Excellent!!!
AwardWallet is a wonderful and handy tool that eliminates the need to track the numerous mileage accounts and their expirations. Kudos to the guys for their idea and seamless integration to make this user friendly. Thank you.
Thanks for this! I was stressing out how to extend our points, but you saved the day. Will definitely be posting here from now on, cheers!
I love how simple AwardWallet makes all of this. All these mileage programs are so complicated and somehow, magically, Awardwallet translates this chaos into a delightful user experience that saves time, money, and headaches. I struggle to think of a tool or service I’m happier with!
I’ve been looking for an easier way to prevent my AA miles from expiring especially in the new COVID travel era. This is a great service! Much easier than the shopping portal and huge savings compared to buying miles.
Thanks!!!
Thank you! This is super helpful and might need a bump considering that probably a lot of people’s AA miles are expiring July 1, 2021.
Thanks so much for providing this option as well as your other post that shares all the ways to keep your AA reward miles from expiring. My miles were set to expire soon, so I appreciate the extension!
Thanks for the information! This is super helpful with all the confusion and changes around when points will expire during the pandemic.
I found this blog through a Facebook group called Travel Hacks Study Hall, and I have to say, the information is invaluable. I would suggest reading all of the comments in each thread, as different people have different thoughts and therefore different suggestions and recommendations.
Thank you for sharing this. I just found out about AwardWallet and am excited to start using it. Becky
Award Wallet has helped me so much over the years with giving me reminders for when my points are expiring. It’s the best!
Award Wallet is hands-down the best way to keep track of all your miles and points. Love it!
This is great as I have not traveled in over a year due to COVID. I am glad I found this as I had miles expiring.
I am so glad to find this earning AA mile opportunity from AwardWallet. This is a great service to your readers.
Thanks for updating us on the mileage expiration policy. It’s good to know that American has extended things, as I was about to pay to deactivate my miles. This saved me hundreds!
I can’t believe I’ve only just found Award Wallet, and its a life saver for my AA points as I can’t fly anywhere for a while, TY!
Hi I will be moving to the US next year with work and have AA points, but for domestic flights is this the best reward programme?
This is so helpful!! Because of covid, I haven’t traveled in over a year and my airline miles are going to expire soon. I am so glad to have found award wallet to help me extend my miles and track everything going forward!
Commenting on the AwardWallet blog certainly seems like one of the most convenient ways to earn points. And it’s free!
AwardWallet is such a handy and thoughtfully designed tool. It takes all the guesswork and complexity out of the wild world of points. I wish every service I used was designed with the user experience as front and center is this one. Thank you for all that you do!
Hopefully we are able to travel in safety soon!
Love AwardWallet, the gift that keeps on giving… miles!
Great service to provide those with a few miles to keep AA from expiring. Thanks much!!!
I’ve been brainstorming ways to prevent my AA miles from expiring in a couple months. I don’t have any travel plans at the moment and didn’t want to open a new credit card (in the middle of buying first home!). I was set on buying something online via the AA shopping portal but my frugal self did not know what to buy. This post allows me to resets the expiration of my AA miles for another 24 months. Thanks AwardWallet!
This is great for extending miles when traveling was halted for so long. Thanks!
Would love to keep my miles pre pandemic alive through this program
A friend tried these ideas to extend mileage expiring and it worked great!! A very big help for those of us that haven’t traveled this past year.
I like the various options to extend miles listed in this article. I will share it with friends who are also concerned about miles expiring. Thanks!
Thank you so much for giving us travelers this valuable information! Expiring miles during the pandemic is a real problem, and you guys are helping with the solution.
Excellent! Really appreciate the service. Glad I saw this blog to save my AAdvantage miles.
Great trips on the phone when you call AA. SO HELPFUL
I was pleasantly surprised to see that Award wallet is still generously offering this promotion. I haven’t been traveling due to Covid and am jumping back into Award Wallet! Thanks!
Helps me keep reminders of when my miles may expire
Cannot recommend this enough for those with an AAdvantage account, living outside of America and miles that are due to expire anytime this year. With so many restrictions on travel and even hotel stays, this offer just simply kicks the can down the road, but for 18 months at a time. And in all honesty, there’s nothing to stop you from leaving suitable comments across the AwardWallet blog daily. I know it’s only 1825 miles for the year, but it’s free miles that might make the difference for a booking one day and means that the expiry date is always being pushed back 18 months each time…. Thanks AwardWallet…
Exactly what is says on the tin. Opened an AwardWallet account, linked my AAdvantage account and posted a comment on the blog. Waited for approval and then a few days later, I received an email from AA to advise that the points had been added to my account. Nearly 100,000 points extended for another 18 months, thanks to a simple and easy to use process. What’s not to love…
This is such a helpful post. I just learned about this blog and didn’t know anything about the bank account either! For people just beginning they are award programs this is a wonderful place to start.
I’d joined AwardWallet years ago but frankly haven’t used it for a while. My wife recently got notice that her (very few) AA miles would expire soon, so I was looking for a way to extend them via some activity. We don’t plan to fly anywhere for some time due to the pandemic. Heck, even going INSIDE of a restaurant will be very rare for some time.
The ability to comment on your blog to earn/extend points is slick. It will keep me coming back.
Thanks!
Agreed.
This is such a strange situation all over the world. How are things in the states? All I read about that here in my country is that ´practically the whole population got the vaccino already, yet still I read comments in forums or blogs like yours and I cant help but wonder why is all the activity still restricted…
Here in my country vaccination is still on early stages, only this week they started with population 65+, having already gone thru 70+, 75+, even older and health professionals.
Wow. AwardWallet is the tool I’ve been missing in my churning journey.
It seems to be tricky to find other posts on this website (when I log in, I usually only see my accounts). It would be good to make the posts more visible somewhere. Otherwise, really useful website! Thank you.
Thanks for providing an option for extension of miles. American rocks!
I’ve been using AwardWallet for years, but never knew that it would help extend my American Airlines miles like this. Although disappointed that American didn’t push expiration out further due to the pandemic, this really helps. Thank You!!!
Handy not to lose Aadvantage miles through not travelling due to injury and Covid. Now we have all been vaccinated I can use a few of those miles to go and see my mother in England. She will be 96 in June and must be wondering where I’ve disappeared to.
This is a great chance to prevent my miles from expiration. I hope covid-19 go away and get the times to travel a lot.
wow what a great tip! I had tens of thousands of miles about to expire and was able to utilize this tip to keep them from expiring! In the past I’ve also used AAdvantage dining to gain miles while enjoying a tasty meal!
Thank you AwardWallet! This is the easiest way to keep my AA miles from expiring.
Just joined AwardWallet and there is a lot of useful tips and deals on collecting miles. Good JOb.
It´s amazing to have this tip to renew my miles.
Thank goodness I found this post, I’m in no mood to purchase any AA miles at the moment lol
Going to come back daily to AwardWallet
Love Awardwallet, saved me so many times from miles & points expiring.
I am thankful that Award Wallet is still around giving out so much useful information such as this article.
After not traveling for over a year due to COVID, I’m looking forward to starting up again soon, but need to extend the life of my miles. This is a very helpful way to do that.
Very grateful for this service, especially during this stressful time. Thank you!
5 mile a day keeps the expiration away!
Just joined AwardWallet and wow, there is a lot of useful tips and deals on collecting miles. Definitely will be coming back daily. Plus it’s nice to get reminders when your points will expire.
Thanks for doing having this option! I appreciate the service, and hope that one day United will let us connect again.
Ahhh, great post! now that I’ve gotten my COVID vaccines, I’m working on getting all of my points and travel all back in order. My AA miles were about to expire, and this is absolutely the best info that I’ve found.
Thanks guys!
Matt
Glad to have an option to earn some AA miles and keep my miles active!
This was really interesting, and timely given the COVID-related delay in expiration. Thanks for the information! Sharing it along.
This is a really good thing to do to keep points alive during all the pandemic shutdowns. Thank you AwardWallet for giving us a reasonable and thoughtful way to keep our AA points alive.
I lost most of my points because of the pandemic. Appreciate your help.
The pandemic has been such a bummer on all our travel plans, but what’s worse is the messed up airlines miles expiry policies during these times. I’m glad AwardWallet has come to the rescue.
I had no idea that my AAdvantage rewards were expiring until I saw the email. I moved AwardWallet from the promotions section in gmail to my primary inbox so I make sure I don’s miss these important notifications in the future!
AA miles to expire. Thankfully this service keeps my miles safe for longer.
Wish other companies would allow it.
I’m a frequent traveler with both United and American, but unlike United miles that never expire, my American miles are set to expire in July. Like many people, I have avoided traveling during the pandemic so it has been nearly impossible to maintain activity on American. This blog is doing a tremendous service by allowing us to maintain our miles with American. I’ll be sure to spread the word about this incredible blog!
Is the 5 mile promotion still active?
Now this it about the easiest and best way to keep your points alive during all the pandemic shutdowns. I lost a bunch of points at OpenTable because I couldn’t use them! Frustrating! Thank you AwardWallet for giving us a reasonable and thoughtful way to keep our AA points alive.
This information is very helpful. I have accumulated some AA miles with work travel over the years and looking to redeem on a personal trip and saw that they were expiring soon. I’m new to the whole points/miles thing and have been doing a bit of research on the topic. Came across this blog and a good thing! Keep up the great info.
Thanks a lot for this option. I used to be a very frequent flyer to the states for work between 2004 and 2019, and then all hell came down on us. My job was disintegrated by the pandemic, and since I am from outside the US, and from a country with a very beaten up economy, keeping my miles alive was starting to look like too much an investment to fight for them. I hope this comment will work as intended.
Sadly, I discovered that I cannot link here my accounts for Delta and United mileage programs, but I think those miles wont expire. I will check them out after posting here. Is there any chance that they will be re added to manage them here?
Is there an option here in this blog to trade miles between users, or to buy or sell them? Or can anyone recommend a website for such purpose?
Again, thanks, will be coming here often.
Thanks for these great tips
This is an amazing way to keep my points active! Not having traveled since 2019, many of my points are expiring in the next few months. In the past, I’ve gotten a magazine subscription to keep my AA miles active, but that no longer seems to be an option,
Thank you AwardWallet and American Airlines.
Really loving these extra AA points.
AwardWallet rocks. I am and will continue to be a loyal user. Love how they are so innovative and customer-centric. Great app.
The mileage alerts provided by AwardWallet have helped me avoid losing miles in several accounts. Bravo!
I appreciate the service AwardWallet provides to keep me up to date with my numerous accounts, especially the alerts to upcoming miles expiration dates. It helps me avoid unnecessarily losing hard-earned miles.
Lifesaver! AwardWallet reminded me of my A/A miles expiring soon. I had completely lost track of those miles, since I had retired within the last year. Thank you, AwardWallet!
This is great news! We are looking forward to using these miles. Thank you for keeping us updated on important changes!
Just because expiration is paused, doesn’t mean one should stop keeping accounts active – when they end their pause you’ll still want good recent activity.
AwardWallet is a very cool site. Love that it keeps all the reward programs in one place.
i love American Airlines!
Thanks for the tips! Definitely don’t want to lose all these hard earned miles 🙂
Thank you Award wallet for providing us a way to keep our miles from expiring!
I’m so glad to find this way to prevent miles expiring – bravo, awardwallet!
Love this blog, thanks for sharing this great tip! 🙂
I just discovered AwardWallet and one of the really nice features is not just reporting your miles, but also the expiration dates. It’s easier to find in the app than it is on the airline sites! I might suggest a quick link be added in the app, to that airline’s “use miles” site, to make it really seamless.
What a useful service — much appreciated! We who are locked down by COVID finally have a perfect way to deal with the dilemma that our hard-won miles risk expiring.
Thank you for keeping my miles from expiring!
While it is great that AA prevented any mileage expiration during the pandemic, it would be nice to have reminders about future expiration dates. I used to travel 1-2 times per month for business but I do not see our company going back to that any time in the near future. overall a good program and easy to redeem.
I really wish I had known about this sooner. What a great way to make sure you build an active, engaged community. Nice one!
Thank you for this awesome promotion. This is really cool and an awesome way to save American miles from expiring. I’ve been an AwardWallet customer for a few years. Signed up with one of the early promotions for premium for super cheap for a few months/years and it finally expired in the last few months. Even your free product is awesome and plenty good for me (not traveling or churning as much as I used to like most folks haha).
I will add that I am constantly worried about devaluation now-a-days (looking at you Southwest!). With the recent Alaska improvements/changes I suspect something will be coming soon.
Woah, so glad I joined AwardWallet. My Spam filter was blocking American Airlines emails, so I didn’t realise I was about to lose 70k+ points that I’d been saving up for next year (hopefully in the post-Covid era!)
Very helpful, thank you AwardWallet – I now need to link all my other awards accounts to flush out any other potentially nasty surprises.
Thanks for the reminder about miles expiring. It seems that’s doubly necessary during the low number of flights during COVID times.
Just stumbled across this – looking forward to commenting and taking advantage. Thanks for offering!
It is frustrating that airlines continue to make us jump through hoops to keep the miles we earned, especially since we are still in the midst of a pandemic. Thankfully AwardWallet has been extremely helpful in saving me from losing miles.
Not going to lie – this is the whole reason I signed up to AwardWallet – great way to to extend the life of my AAdvantage points, as otherwise they’d be expiring this summer, with no forseeable way to actively use my existing airmiles, as there’s no way to fly or even really book a hotel at this point where I live.
Leave it to the folks at Awardwallet to secure this nice little way to keep earning those AA miles. I have a preference for AA after terrible experiences with the insane UA…won’t even belabor that point, but I am also not interested in airlines taking on political positions. As a shareholder, I am interested in good earnings, as a passenger I am interested exclusively in safety! Thank you all for all you do in these troubled times!
Thanks to Award Wallet for monitoring my miles and expiration dates so that I can best use my cards. And not let things expire!! I certainly appreciate the reminders!!
I’m surely glad I was tracking my miles on AA with Award Wallet because I got an email reminding me that 180K miles were about to expire. That’s worth 2 round trips to the French Polynesia!!
Thanks for making it easy to extend miles!
This 5-mile award for a blog is a wonderful, little-know benefit of being an AwardWallet member.
Many thanks to Award Wallet for issuing some miles and extending my AAdvantage miles expiration date. Other features from Award Wallet such as recommending the best credit card to collect maximum points have been excellent.
cool thing, thx!
Time and time again, award wallet has helped me extend my AA miles. I’ve used award wallet the past few years and it is the best tracking tool of miles / points. Thank you!
That’s very helpful. For the past year of no traveling the points have kept piling up. Couldn’t track my miles and spending without you. Thanks!!!
My goodness. If it wasn’t for AwardWallet, I would have not even paid attention to these expiring AA miles. And now I’m actually quite disappointed in AA for only doing an extention until July 2021. Did they forget we are still in a pandemic? SWA extended my travel funds until Sept 2022! Let alone the companion pass was extended until December 2021.
Came here hunting for exactly this. Good to know!
I got my wife to sign up for AwardWallet so she can extend her AAdvantage miles expiration date, and earn a few extra miles along the way, too. Thanks again AwardWallet and AAdvantage.
Has anyone heard anything about AA considering permanently removing expiration? I read a random blog post (so random I can’t even find it again) that indicated AA was considering it, but that was a month or two ago, and I haven’t heard anything since or read anything similar anywhere else. Not putting too much faith in that one post – was just wondering if anyone else has seen/heard similar.
If it wasn’t for Award Wallet, I would have lost a bunch of miles! Thank you for the heads up and watching out for me and my accounts!
Thanks again for extending my AAdvantage miles expiration date!
Pandemic had been tough. Hasn’t been able to use my AA miles, this would help
The AwardWallet app reminded me that my points were due to expire in July this year. Very hard to earn/redeem points due to covid so appreciate everything you do via the app & this blog!
It is content like this why AwardWallet is so helpful. I would have never known my American miles were expiring–or the easiest way to keep them from doing so–without AwardWallet.
This is a great feature, thank you!!!
What a find! AwardsWallet organizes most of my credit cards, tracks points from hotels, airlines, Troon golf and even my FICO score. It keep me informed of expiration dates and options to extend the dates. It’s a great tool for anyone with multiple credit cards, airline & hotel loyalty programs.
Thank you AwardsWallet!
I recently used AA credits from a cancelled 2020 trip to Jamaica. I was able to contact an AA agent that rebooked us to St Croix for June 2021. The best thing is that AA is still allowing to rebook this flight without penalties, if we might need to.
Giving 5 miles for a post is a tremendous benefit of AwardWallet!
This is such a great service. I am very impressed. So grateful that my miles will not expire.
Looking forward to taking many special trips with my miles.
Thank you for saving my miles. This was very helpful. Thank you again.
Thank you Awardwallet for tracking my AA miles.
This is a good idea to help people renew their expiring AA miles. It’s a shame they’re expiring tbh.
I just found out about this from TPG blog. I live on a Caribbean island and have had travel challenges during COVID times. I have been searching everywhere to find out how to prevent my miles from expiring without having to fork out too much and this has been a very lucky find for me. Many thanks AwardWallet.
By far the best (and safest way) to ensure I don’t lose everything because of this awful virus. Kudos to AwardWallet. In my desperation to save points, I have found a neat little website I will be using and linking to in the future to help track everything. Thank you AwardWallet!
Thanks for helping me save my AA miles!
I’m so happy that this is a way to extend my miles – I cannot wait to travel but still want to see more of us vaccinated! Thanks, American Airlines and thanks AwardWallet!
I’ve been searching for a way to keep my American Airlines account active during COVID. THANK YOU AwardWallet. Also learning all the interesting features of AwardWallet. 🤞🤞🤞 😉
What a great resource for extending miles! Thanks you.
Would love it if we could attach pictures or emojis to add value to relevant comments / discussions.
My miles are expiring on July 1, 2021 but I have a trip booked July 18 so will that keep my miles from expiring
The AwardWallet blog gave me advice of how to retain my airline miles that were expiring! Thanks so much!
This is an incredibly useful tool for those of us still waiting for low-risk travel to return once again! Preserving my AAdvantage miles definitely incentivises me to look for AA flights in the future when travel opens up more broadly.
This information is very helpful. I have accumulated some AA miles with work travel over the years and looking to redeem on a personal trip and saw that they were expiring soon. I’m new to the whole points/miles thing and have been doing a bit of research on the topic. Came across this blog and a good thing! Keep up the great info.
Thank you for this information. This is very helpful. I know southwest and jet blue offered to extend their mileage expiration, do you think AA will do the same? With vaccine rollout travel is looking more promising but there are many I know that likely still won’t be comfortable traveling before June 30.
I’m grateful that I can extend my American Airline miles just for making a post. Thank you AwardWallet!
My AA miles is about to expire and this post saves my miles. Thanks
This is a great way to keep extending miles on AA.com
Wow, what a wonderful way to keep our accounts active during such a terrible time, when many of us are grounded due to health issues. We can only hope to be back in the air soon. Thank you AwardWallet for keeping us informed. I do wonder if the deadlines for expiration may be pushed out. Hopefully. Stay safe all!
I haven’t really been traveling much, so my compulsive tracking of awards miles has taken a backseat. But then I got this very helpful email from AwardWallet letting me know about some upcoming expiring miles. It was SO much more helpful than the one I got from the airline directly and had links to solutions both for redemption and for getting more miles. I’ve renewed my interest in AwardWallet and am so thankful I signed up long ago!
Great tips! Thanks so much for the added time.
Wonderful benefit for your members, and great blog you have!
Might be useful for your readers to know about Malaysia Airlines Enrich program promotion currently:
– Convert your bank points now to enrich points and get Bonus extra 10% Enrich points from 4 to 30 April 2021
– Additionally Enrich is running an Enrich Redemption Fiesta from 10 April to 31 May 2021
Such a great resource on how to keep your AA Miles from expiring, thank you!
Thanks for this post! I just found Award Wallet because I realized my AA miles were about to expire. This is a great tool for me to keep track of all my miles and points across accounts!
Thanks for this information and providing this feature, it is very useful.
Thank you for this useful information! I appreciate you keeping track of the expiration miles. I also think that the airlines should postpone any miles from ever expiring. I get that it’s a business, but I think as a rewards / loyalty system goes, it is a natural habit for customers to continue building up their reward with loyal albeit infrequent purchases. I believe that the model should be “the more you buy, the quicker your reward is realized”. With covid and people being afraid to travel the airlines should pause the miles expiration and see that their loyal base returns when the pandemic is “handled”. Either way, thank you for this blog.
Great option. Also a good option to prevent points from expiring: https://awardwallet.com/blog/aadvantage-dining-review/
Joining/using the dining program allows you to not only keep your points from expiring, but also earn more points for food you’d already buy. I especially like AwardWallet’s suggestion to just sign up for the dining program on all of your cards, forget about it, and done out where you please.
This is a very helpful post and saved my miles from expiring. It’s unfortunate that American Airlines’ miles expire, when several airlines have never expiring miles.
Alaska and American seem to have a miles partnership that make it difficult to book Alaska flights and use American miles. In fact, I never usually find flights on Alaska using American miles. Any tips on better using American miles on Alaska are appreciated
This is a great post. Thanks!
AwardWallet is a great tool to track awards, and makes it all easy. It will keep my AA miles alive.
This seems like an excellent idea to help keep on top of things when organising travel etc. I’m very keen to get using my American Airlines miles as soon as I can.
This is good information to avoid losing American Advantage points. Important Award Wallet benefit. Thanks.
Thank you for awarding miles for posting. It is a great way to have activity in my account during COVID.
Thanks for the useful info. Surprising that AA are only extending miles expiry until July… especially as it’s unlikely all of their customers around the world will even be able to travel.
You may want to consider allowing more than 5 miles a day max for those who find more than one posts to respond, and happen to have more time for a given day.
AwardWallet, thank you again for your partnership with AAdvantage and allowing folks to easily extend their award miles expiration date.
Thank you Awardwallet for tracking my AA miles.
With this alert you saved my miles! I had no idea they were going to expire and appreciate the helpful tips to prevent me from losing them. Reminder of why AwardWallet is so helpful!
Thanks for the useful and helpful tips for extending award miles. AwardWallet has been a great way to manage all the various miles and points programs.
I was emailed this weekend about my AA points expiring soon. Without AwardWallet I would not have known and been proactive.
Thanks!
Cool feacture, many thx
Such a great tip! Easy way to earn and prevent your miles from expiring!
I’m wondering how long the airlines will continue extending their mileage expirations, given the constantly changing landscape of travel. International travel is where many members want to use their AAdvantage miles, and like many of them, we have been in a holding pattern, waiting for international borders to open up.
Thanks! Will let my friends know, especially with the June 30th AA mile expiry around the corner.
Very cool feature of Awardwallet to track and notify us on Miles expiration.
One key reason I’ll continue to be on the Plus membership
This was very helpful and I’m so glad to have a resource that keeps things updated in such a crazy time for travel!
Thanks for the useful and helpful tips for extending award miles. Awardwallet has been a great way to manage all the various miles and points programs.
Everyone with an AA account should be aware of such an easy method to extend miles – kudos to AwardWallet for making this so simple.
I love Award Wallet- they send me emails to remind me when my airline miles are going to expire
Thank you for keeping us aware of airlines’ continuously changing policies and how it directly affects our account. I would have lost thousands of miles if it had not been for Award Wallet.
Thank you for the heads up about my miles expiration. I was not aware. I also need to check with my son who just turned 21 to see when his miles expire. I wasn’t aware of that rule either! Thank you for the useful info!
Thanks American Airlines for giving us until June 30th 2021 before our miles expire.
Appreciate American Airlines COVID-19 policies but not their new 18 month expiration of mileage. Frontier has a similar expiration policy which is a reason I usually don’t fly Frontier.
I always like reading the updates and love to learn new tips with every read. Now I just need to start earning rewards for referring friends to Travel Freely.
Thank you Awardwallet for tracking when my AA miles expire!
Thanks for the tip about AA miles! Insane they are letting them expire during Covid. Where are we supposed to be flying to?
I went to the AA site and could not find a way to extend or redeem the miles. Your blog was helpful. Thank you.
AwardWallet is the best! You’ve saved me several times from losing lots of points due to expiration and your email reminder today saved me again from losing tons of airline points! Your email also included the ways to save the points, which is super helpful and easy. Thanks again!!
AwardWallet also lets you know three months before your miles expire, giving you more than enough time to extend your miles! You can connect Delta SkyMiles to Lyft to get 2 miles per $1 too.
Awesome way to keep award miles active while COVID travel restrictions keep me from traveling. Thanks award wallet and AA Advantage.
Yet another reason that AwardWallet both rocks and is so worth the subscription. An alert from AwardWallet that my AA miles are going to expire and at same time great advice on keeping them alive. Keep doing what you do – it’s awesome!
This is a great post on how we can keep our miles without having to fly. It is even more important now, during these times where flying is not an option. Thank you AwardWallet!
AwardWallet subscription is worth it just for the expiration alerts but to top that off with a guide to ways to extend expiration is awesome and the icing on an already pretty decent cake.
Great work guy this product really understands its audiences needs
Obviously it has not been possible to travel over the last 12 months and it is useful to be reminded of the expiry of the miles. Hopefully this works as advertised, is a convenient way to solve the issue and I will soon be back flying with AA.
I’m looking forward to travelling again.
AwardWallet is such a great service. Thanks so much for all of the tips on travel and award programs!
Thanks to AwardWallet I got a notification my AA miles are expiring in July, living in the UK and not being able to fly I am really grateful to have found that AwardWallet has this program that provides us with a simple way of extending our miles. Thanks AwardWallet!
This is really helpful. I also love AwardWallet. I wouldn’t have known that my points were going to expire without its helpful email. Based on the point valuation of 1 AAdvantage point = 1.4 cents then it looks like the Bask account returns 1.4% annually on your money which is way better than most high yield savings accounts right now!
Is there a way to purchase magazines , e.g. the Economist, and pay for them with miles? Seems discount4mags doesnt use aa points…
Award wallet is an amazing service for frequent travelers. It keeps me updated about my miles and their expiry.
Giving 5 miles for a post is a tremendous benefit of AwardWallet!
Thank you for your timely information about my account. It is extremely helpful especially for airlines that have points that expire!
Which airlines don’t expire miles?
Is it just me or does expiring miles seem like something that should be gone by now?
It makes me want to fly on a different airline.
Thanks so much for the email reminding me that my AA miles are due to expire in 3 months! It’s good to know I didn’t have to rely on my own “noggin!”
I would never be able to keep up to date with all the points alerts on my own. This content is so helpful! I will share widely with my friends and encourage them to sign up for AwardWallet!
Thanks for this post! I had gotten your email that my miles are expiring soon, so I was looking into ways to keep them alive. I only have a few thousand, so not much to do anything with, but who likes losing miles and points? So thanks for the 5 to stay alive. 🙂
Thanks for the helpful info! I wish they extended the expiration a bit longer. Not everyone is ready to travel yet.
This is an excellent idea, especially given the current pandemic. Every flights i had booked for the past 13 months had been cancelled and there didn’t seem to be any extension on this from AA so thank you in advance
I have learned to make far better use of my frequent flyer miles and would have ever been the case without award wallet insights!
Bravo!
I was very disappointed to find out my American Airlines miles will be expiring in a few months since I’ve not been able to travel. I came across this blog with great tips on extending the expiration date. Thank you for sharing these ideas!!
Another great blog – thank you.
To me, AwardWallet is most valuable for keeping me up to date on my portfolio of points from both hotels and aiorlines.
For example, I just got warned that my AAdvantage miles will expire shortly.
Hopefully, the 5 bonus points for this comment will help maintain their shelf life 🙂
This past year has been rough and all my normal trips had to be put on hold. Now that more people are eligible for and taking advantage of vaccines, I feel more hopeful that I will once again be able to travel. I have been worried that COVID was going to erase all my past miles but I am happy that it seems like that doesn’t have to be the case. Looking forward to packing my suitcase again.
Thanks AwardWallet for the reminder that my American miles will be expiring soon, and this opportunity to have it extended by just posting a comment here. This is indeed a wonderful service. Keep it up, AwardWallet!
Thanks for the info!
I live in Canada. I only fly AA/Oneworld once every few years. This is a great way to keep my AAdvantage account from expiring! Thanks, AwardWallet.
This blog post was very informative and helped me understand the steps I need to take to comment on an AwardWallet blog post to receive 4 AAdvantage points, in order to keep my miles from expiring. Here goes – I hope it works!
Adding my American account to AwardsWallet was very quick and easy. Adding Hilton Honors was not. I was asked multiple times to login to the HH program and received message that the app was not updating, etc. Eventually, the HH program was active and my awards are synched with AwardWallet.
The service will be a big help in keeping track of award status. Thanks
The AA expire date 21st June not going to help me. So it is great awardwallet.com has this blog systems to extend miles
Thank you for reminding me that I have miles that are expiring! I had no idea that I could leave a comment to earn points, and I am also looking in to the Bask account, thanks!
I figured my AA miles were expired but it’s great to find out the expiration was extended. Does anyone have a recommendation on a good credit card to make use of my undead AA miles?
Thanks AwardWallet! This is exactly the info I was looking for.
These are very helpful tips! My miles were about to expire, and Award Wallet helped me with steps to extend. Thank you!
Notifying me of expiring points is such a great service. And now you’ve got me interested in Bask Bank, so I’m headed there next!
I love my miles I flew to Honolulu only with mile + tax
Unfortunately, I didn’t get to travel on AA since just before the pandemic began, and the risk of flying from the United States has seemed much higher than normal over the last 13 months. While I would prefer that AA pause mileage expiration past June 30, I appreciate your efforts to provide a safe and socially distanced work around until we can get back to flying safely as before.
Thank you, AwardWallet, for keeping us up to date on everything travel points related! You guys rock
AwardWallet pays off again. I am so thankful for the service of AwardWallet to keep me up to date on my mileage programs. I appreciate the relationship that AA has with Award Wallet to take care of loyal passengers.
This is a great feature. I have a lot of miles which I can’t use at the moment with covid travel bans and it has also got me to explore and engage with your great site more too!
Really helpful tips for extending award miles! Thanks!
Thank you for AwardWallet and for notifying me that my AA miles would soon expire. I would not have otherwise known.
This is a no-brainer partnership for both AA and AwardWallet in order to keep points active. Making me take a hard second look at a premium membership as well…
This post is one of the many reasons that I am a happy member of AwardWallet. I’ve used their site to open upwards of five credit cards, relying heavily on the useful commentary and comparisons by the staff. Additionally – it’s always good to hear how good of a deal you’re getting from an unbiased third party!
I will continue to rely on their expertise in this area in addition to finding ways to extend the eligibility of my miles on airlines with cancellation policies. Thanks for all you do!
With so much difficulty traveling recently, it is great that awardwallet provides an easy way to prevent miles from expiring. Thanks awardwallet!
Thanks for giving advance warning of the expiration of my miles and providing several ways to prevent that from occurring. With travel suspended during the pandemic this was not one of the first things to worry about.
Thanks a lot for this thread, with the current COVID-19 situation, cannot put any activity on the account, this is a great way to put some activity back on to the account.
This was a lifesaver . . . Many of my points don’t expire so I was surprised to see this note flagging AA miles going away. I literally haven’t flown for about a year and can’t wait to get out (anywhere) this summer.
Love the blog AwardWallet, thanks for all the info! Easiest way to earn 5 points! Love it
Would love to fly American Airlines to Italy.
I just learned that I can keep my miles from expiring by commenting on this blog! I appreciate the opportunity to keep them active by taking such a simple step.
Thanks for providing the service. This is really helpful!
Thank you AwardWallet for the helpful tips, especially this one regarding point expiration warnings. Nice to know that someone has your back. Thanks!
It is very useful to have the awardwallet alert you about what is going on with your miles…
Great way to earn new miles!
I originally installed award wallet to track my memberships but have recently found additional value in the features that are offered including the points expiry warnings. Added to this, the ability to extend the expiry date by interacting online is a brilliant idea.
Might be time to consider an Award Wallet plus subscription.
Thank you for this partnership. It is nice to have. Not being able to travel yet this year, and still not being comfortable with any unnecessary travel for the near future, this will save me from losing miles. I’m hopeful that over the next few months, things will begin to turn around.
Another reason to stick with the premium membership!. Thank you
I can’t ask for more thanks
It’s so important to make sure that your miles don’t expire. And this perk from Award Wallet is one of the best!
I love award wallet and really like managing my awards miles with award wallet. while booking a flight its a big help as all the frequent flier numbers are easily accessible. it makes it easy to add that numbers when flying thru work and adding the numbers
Happy 40th Anniversary AAdvantage rewards program
Excelente información y muy útil para mantener activas las millas de AA. Saludos!
Thanks for the great advise. Good to know there are options to keep the miles from expiring.
Love AwardWallet, I use it to manage all my Aware Programs! Thanks for the info on extending my AAmerican miles, and thanks in advance for the the 5 AAmerican miles 🙂
-Buck
I wasn’t aware that American Airlines miles expired due to inactivity. I found your articles very helpful toward rectifying my issues and greatly appreciate your advice
Thank you for providing this service.
Wow that is an amazing way to keep your public engaged.
Way to go AwardWallet! I am so glad to be part of this community.
Thanks for the great info. I was concerned with my points expiring, and now I have a plan to prevent that from happening.
This is actually an amazing way to save my miles from expiring and not having to buy something I don’t actually want. Great idea and helpful option for organizing reward points in general, thanks!
This is an awesome initiative. Haven’t been flying much due to the pandemic, so this is perfect to keep my mileage balance alive. Good job AwardWallet!
Thank you for extending my award miles during this time of COVID where travel is limited.
This is awesome, super informative.
I have been unable to fly for business due to a restriction on travel related to the pandemic – only absolutely necessary travel was allowed. I carried that over to personal travel for health reasons. Having had the first vaccine and close to getting my second shot, I very much look forward to getting back into the air soon. I want to thank American Airlines for graciously pushing back travel award expirations as we all made our way through the thick of the pandemic. This post further shows how the company has worked with customers. I hope we can all get back to normality in our air travel very soon. Plus, I look forward to getting back on AA for business and leisure travel within the next month or two. Thank you!
Thanks for the post on this topic. I didn’t realize miles expire; but appreciative for this helpful guide.
Thanks, this is helpful information while many of us are flying less often than usual.
THank you for not only for providing this service but also for sending me an email to remind me. I appreciate all you offer as I get further into this obsessive world of Points!
This is a much better option than going through the AAdvantage eShopping portal. Definitely recommended.
Sure miss traveling International. Hope to travel once all countries open up and take my family on much needed vacation. Hope American extends miles and doesn’t let them expire like other airlines.
This apps AwardWallet is the best of all app for airlines. Provide and suggestion to customers
Thanks for the great information. Really help for me to extend my AA mileages.
I totally support AA in its position on the Texas legislation to suppress voter participation.
Even during these challenging times AwardWallet remains such a great source of information!
Thank you for the heads-up on AA miles about to expire…and for making it so easy to extend the deadline!
this is great way to avoid lossing miles. thanks
Thanks guys – saw your email about my point expiring and went to check flights from San Diego to Houston – $290 vs my regular Southwest of $100. You all putting the offer of points for comment really added value to me, and I’ll definitely be viewing the blog a bit more in future.
Through this tough times it’s really necessary to rely on such an easy way to keep miles and avoid expiration dates. We are all loyal customers and it seems fair that companies aknowledge our loyalty by longing mile expiration till we can travel again without restrictions. Great to have AwardWallet.com as a strong partner. Keep it up!!!
Is American Airlines planning to pause the expiry of miles further from June 30th as the pandemic doesn’t seem like going anywhere soon.
A blog post with any extensions of validity date would help users
I almost didn’t realize that I have American Airlines miles set to expire soon. This is handy, though I really wish AA would change their policy and not have miles expire.
I loved my experiences with American no matter what destination or special circumstances – they made it all so easy and convenient.
What a great feature!
Thanks for helping me save my points from expiring!
Also useful are some of the other ways you can extend your miles expiration date on the blog post linked below.
https://awardwallet.com/blog/american-airlines-miles-expire/
Thank you for this great article. I am set to lose 25k AA miles in july. Hopefully this helps me keep them!
This is such a great way to add miles, since I haven’t been able to travel. Thanks!
Thank you for the tip and help! Really needed this since I was nervous whether I could save my miles after not being able to fly the past year.
This is really interesting. I was looking for ways to save my parents’ AA miles from expiring without having to “do” any of the traditional methods. I found this one from TPG and hopefully it works out! Definitely an easy way to save 200,000+ combined miles!
Looking forward to restart travel this summer
Agree with Winnie. Thanks for the great information.
I’ve tried this method before to maintain activity on my account and can attest that it works! Thank you!
Great way to keep miles from expiring, thanks.
Wow! What a useful post, thank you! I was unable to use my 150k points due to COVID and they expire in 6 months… what a great benefit! While I’m here, I’ll be sure to check out all AwardWallet has to offer!
I just discovered AwardWallet a few days ago and now I realize all the benefits I’ve missing. One is not worrying about my points expiring!
I’m looking forward to redeeming my AA Miles and flying again soon!
Fantastic feature for a valuable and useful site. Thank you guys for all you do!
Thanks for your blog.
It has become a lot more difficult for UK and EU citizens to renew Airmiles with the closure of the AA-linked credit cards in the region. The AA online shop is also unavailable.
It would be really helpful if country/area specific ways of keeping accounts active could be published, especially right now because we can’t legally travel anywhere anyway and therefore have no realistic means of renewing miles by booking flights.
I have been an awardwallet.com member since it’s inception (many years ago). It is one of those sites that just keeps improving and thinking up shrewd ways to keep its customers happy. This blog for miles idea is brilliant !!
Fantastic, please keep up all your good work!!!
This is a great way to extend the expiration date of my aadvantage miles
A great way to extend the expiration date on my AAdvantage Miles. Thanks to AwardWallet!
One of the coolest things an airline can do for thwe online community
Thank you AA AAdvantage for making your Earning Miles program the best for your customers!
I just figured out why I am not being credited with my American miles when I comment here. MMy wife and I are on the same account and I was supposed to select my name on our acount summay before making my comment. Perhaps a note about this requirement would help other readers.
Thank you
Thank you American Airlines for extending mileage expiration to 1 July 2021!
Woohoo this is an awesome promotion! Was worried about my points expiring and then I found this 🙂
this is absolutely amazing, thanks so much for doing this. You guys are the best!
Thank you AA!! Making the best for your customers!!!
Not only is this a wonderful way to earn some free miles, but it will also help keep my account active and prevent the rest of them from expiring. Thanks a million for being a “milesaver” in these pandemic times! However, I do look much forward to collecting even more mileage by actually traveling again 🙂
Hey,
I first used this site last year to save my sister’s aadvantage account from going to 0. Awesome resource!
Now I have a few days to book a flight for which I am short 751 miles.
Any way to earn those miles quickly? Otherwise I think I’d just buy 2000 miles at aa.com for $64.
Thanks in advance
Thank you for keeping our American accounts from expiring. Just thought I would pass on this info:
It is interesting that Amex Travel Credit of $200 for Platinum for booking through Amex Travel is also being awarded for American Airlines and the flights are actually cheaper than Delta (Delta is a Amex partner!).
This is awesome. Great way to extend the expiration on my AA miles. Thanks a lot for offering that, Awardwallet!
This is a very helpful bonus since I have not been able to fly at all in the last year. Ensures I will remain a loyal AA flyer once I start flying again.
Thanks for the military upgrades American Airlines! It’s always appreciated, especially after coming home from a deployment. You guys rock!
Still working
I use to have my credit card in Argentina linked to my AA account and every month I earned some miles and renewed the expiration date. This alliance with my bank ended up on September 2020, so I was worried about how I could renew the expiration date for my miles…. So this is a GREAT news for me and I´ll inform this to every friend in Argentina who is in the same situation! Thanks!!!
Thank you for a great product and a helpful post.
Great news!!!
I’ve been a loyal AwardWallet user for a while now and didn’t realize that you have this cool feature in place. Funny enough, while trying to figure out a way to get some activity on my AA account, I stumbled on this.
Thanks so much!
Wow! I absolutely love this site. I was wondering how I could go about ensuring that my AA miles don’t expire. I didn’t even have to go looking because Award Wallet popped up a link to this blog. Now I’m looking forward to seeing the 5 miles appear in my account to prevent expiration. Simply another outstanding benefit of Award Wallet!
This is a great benefit. I’ve been a happy user of AwardWallet for many years.
Great opportunity to renew the validity of miles
Anyone know if you are completely vaccinated, do you still need to have a covid test before flying??
This board is great and I am sure it is a wealth of information for all of us.
Great idea!!! Thanks a lot for pampering customers,still waiting for fliying again soon.
Thank you American Airlines! Every time thinking the best actions for your customers!
Waiting to travel again!
Thank you very much for helping us, hopefully it extends to other programs.
Love you !
Great way to get extra miles and keep the account active.
Thank you for this helpful post. The 18-month expiration always comes around so fast. Nice to know I can simply comment on this blog and keep my miles from expiring!
At what point is it expected for business class flight to come back to pre Covid levels? Ever?
Awesome way to gain feedback! Hopefully saves my miles from expiring after the COVID year of no flying!
really love this way to keep my son’s account active
This was extremely helpful. Thank you!
Saved my account from expiring. Thanks!
AwardWallet is a great way to keep track of all my different programs, and the bonus of 5 AAdvantage miles saves them expiring! Double win! Thank you!
Thanks for the post and offer!
With AA pausing points, is the 5 AA points still a thing?
Yes
This is a great way to post a comment or question and at the same time keep you AA miles from expiring. Win, win.
Would be great if BA would do the same thing with their airmiles. Any news with them ?
He recientemente creado mi cuenta en AwardWallet, la información que aportan sobre el programa AAdvantage, es muy útil, completa , explicando detalladamente el funcionamiento del programa y formas de obtener millas. Continuaré informándome en vuestra página qué resulta sumamente interesante y de mucha utilidad .
This post was my salvation. I´ve 150k miles expiring at the end of the month!!!
Good info. Thanks!
This is a great way to extend the expiration on my AA miles. Thanks!
Thank you – I just saw this blog post and was looking for a way for my AA miles to not expire. Hoping the days we can all travel again!
Oh my goodness – this is a COVID lifesaver! Thank you for offering this. Until we can get in the air again, I am incredibly grateful. In logging in today, I realized I hadn’t been on AwardWallet for over 4 months. That was a very depressing discovery. I used to log on much more frequently. Looking forward to getting back in the travel swing of things.
Thanks for keeping this option to extend AA points going.
Does American fund this, or are the miles paid for by ad revenue?
The saving account is a nice account to save money and get miles for your next trip
A medical condition is stopping me flying until this year
2021, and all of my AA miles expire in July. Thank for help.
It’s nice to find ways to keep American Airline miles from expiring.
This is super helpful. With the Covid situation, we’ve had to cancel vacation plans and had a bunch of AA points about to expire this summer. I will also look into the Bask Bank option. I have some IHG points also set to expire this summer, but the conversion ratio is not very good.
Being a UK citizen, normally my method of keeping AA miles active, is via BA European flights. A medical condition is stopping me flying until August
2021, and all of my AA miles expire in June. The facility to earn a few miles by commenting is a lifesaver for me!
Thanks AwardWallet for making it possible to earn miles and keep them from expiring during the pandemic.
Just checked my AAdvantage account and my 5 points for comment here are ther! Got 18 more months to use my miles. Thank you AwardWallet!
Is there any update on earning miles/points for commenting in other programs? While most have airlines have stopped expiring miles (JetBlue, Delta among others) there are some that do + hotel programs that expire points. It would be nice to earn say 5 Hilton points for commenting to keep those alive as well. Thanks
You can earn only AA miles commenting on our blog.
This is such a great thing! Not only can I earn some miles (and keep mine from expiring), I will also get some insight into other things.
This COVID pandemic has definitely upended travel. I am happy that AwardWallet provides this service. A good deed that goes a long way to help alleviate some stress and anxiety brought about by this pandemic.
I am looking forward to flying again soon!!! Thank you
I came here to read more about the American Airlines miles expiration but am very happy to find this helpful website. I’m going to try to be more focused on maximizing my rewards.
I can’t believe I’m only just hearing about your bonus Aadvantage miles for commenting campaign. Thank you AwardWallet!
Same here. We are frequent travelers (well, not this past year) but we have 5 cruises booked so far for this year and next. It’s great to know that I can earn extra AA miles and keep my past miles active. Thanks AwardWallet.
Great to see AwardWallet helping us to maintain AAdvantage activity. Thanks!
I just joined AwardWallet and am glad to have a way to keep track of all my awards, especially my AAdvantage miles!
I had signed up years ago for Award Wallet and forgot about it. So nice to see the improvements. And this is a great way to prevent AA miles from expiring. Thank you
This is a really novel idea, could use the extension as I’m not American based and trav using AA us just not happening.
I’m excited for this opportunity. It keeps me engaged in the idea of traveling. Provides great tips and tricks. And, it can prevent my miles from expiring during a pandemic when I’m not scheduling any flights. Keeps the dream alive for a real vacation when this nightmare ends. Looking for our next family vacation to be out west: Tetons, Yellowstone and Glacier hoping for hotsprings, geysers, bbq and maybe just maybe the Northern Lights.
I was researching ways that I could extend my milage participation due to reduced travel during the pandemic. One of the ways was to leave a comment on this blog. I’m crossing my fingers that this will work!
I’m happy to know that this comment will generate activity in my AAdvantage account! Thank you AwardWallet!
I’ve been an AwardWallet member since 2017 and highly recommend it. Looking forward to finally traveling in 2021.
Someone on the Internet chipped me about this. Thank you very much for providing this service. I’ve been enjoying award wallet for several years but not use this service
I’m excited again for traveling once things in a few months. I appreciate the flexibility that I’ve gotten with dealing with the airline. Between many tough issues in 2020 its nice to know that my flight credit is still available to use when things return to a “new” normal. I look forward to seeing friends and family again in different parts of the nation.
I am glad I found this site. I have linked my American Advantage Account. Will give this a try.
Thank you for the tip. My miles will expire soon and for Covid PAndemia is very dificult to travel. I hope American Airlines imitate United Airlines in no expiration date of miles
Been using the app for years never knew about this !
We were worried about losing our points during the pandemic and this is such a great way to keep this from happening! Can’t wait to start travelling again!
My miles are set to expire the first week of July. I traveled last on December 2019. Do I get an extension or is this program only for miles that expire before July 1st?
It makes more sense to push the time for everyone, don’t you think?
Seems like a easy way to keep miles active! Hope to be able to use the points after the pandemic.
That’s perfect!
I was looking for a blog like this for a long time!
I have been using award wallet for 2 years and without it I what have lost so many points already without knowing it. I love that I can use this tool to reset the count on my AAdvantage points thanks!
Exactly!
Great idea!!
This seems like a great way to reward engagement with blog articles and posts. I’m surprised more people aren’t taking advantage of the offer.
This seems like a really easy way to keep miles active! Hoping to do a lot more travelling post-pandemic!
Have been AwardWallet subscriber for many years, I use it to keep track of many of my FF program miles, this article is quite useful to keep my AA miles active even I travel less these days. thanks.
I’m confused as to whether miles will all expire on the same date or they are just exteneded. Would be good to know?
Thank for so this timely post!!
Well that is clever and surprisingly easy..
Is great way to generate activity to your AA account.
Thanks
AAvantage miles awards for online purchases using the browser plug-in are consistently higher than United Airlines. The plug-in pop ups take a bit of getting used too but they make earning miles for my most common way of shopping incredibly easy. Thank you AA and hang in there we’re almost through this!
That’s great. Thank you for this new way to keep my miles.
Great advice on how to not let AA miles lapse.
It’s really great that you provide customers here an easy way to help extend their mileage expiration. I really appreciate it!
Thank you.
What a great, easy way to generate activity to your AA account. I used to subscribe to magazines at 500 miles a pop, but since they’ve phased that out, it’s harder and harder to find economical ways to keep my account active. Thanks!
It’s great information. I was very concerned about losing my miles due to travel restrictions as an essential healthcare worker. Thanks for all the detailed information on mileage programs and deals
Are there other easy ways to avoid miles from expiring for those of us not traveling since Covid?
I don’t know about you, but I have multiple airline mileage programs and points here and there with different expiration dates. I have found AwardWallet to be super helpful for keeping track of my mileage programs all in one place – I only need to log in to one site to manage everything. I’ve shared this website with my elderly parents who are forgetful and not so tech savvy, and they have linked all their accounts through AwardWallet as a one stop shop. Thank you!
Thanks, this is really useful information. I am a couple of miles short to get a ticket but I haven’t been able to travel to add some more miles into my account, because of Covid. So I guess this is a great way to avoid my miles from expiring.
Thanks guys! It’s so nice to not have to worry about my miles expiration date.
Thanks for allow keep my miles! I hope we can fly and travel like before quarantine
Just discovered AwardWallet and am looking forward to organizing all of our points, trips and managing things like expiration dates. Thank you for the site. Wish we would have seen this several years ago!
Interesting and useful
Thanks you!
I miss flying so much. Do you remember the days of flying just for fun?
This post is a great idea! Thanks a lot!
I’ve always felt the expiration policies are a scam, with little to no customer service. Thanks for this offering, as usual!
Helpful!
Great that you guys have this partnership with AA. Thanks for helping to extend my miles.
hi there! I have to say that this is a pretty amazing service you all offer… 5 AA miles just for making a comment. It’s quite unfair that AA has an expiration date on our hard-earned miles and I really appreciate that you all make it so easy to extend the expiration date, just by making a comment. I will gladly come back, learn from your blog posts, and make more comments 🙂
I appreciate the valuable information you put out and have just registered for your AwardWallet app – I shall be going for the premium version because I believe in paying for products that take effort and deliver value. 🙂
What an awesome option for obtaining AA miles to keep miles from expiring!
I hope this keeps my miles from expiring!
AwardWallet is such a powerful tool as I begin to think about traveling in late 2021. Because of Award Wallet I learned that my advantage miles are expiring, and I wanted to potentially use them on travel….only to fund out the amazing miles deals to go from LA to South Africa. Thanks AwardWallet
This is extremely helpful. Thank you! I was very concerned about losing my miles due to travel restrictions.
So helpful. Thank you.
Wow! I was super worries about losing my miles because I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to travel in July.
Now I’m exploring all the rewards programs here as well! 😛
Thank you folks!
This is a very useful blog, and one that is not just spin. I have always also been a fan of rail blog The Man in Seat 61, and this sort of reminds me of that.
Many thanks
Award Wallet’s discounted flight deals service is amazing! After I connected my American Airlines account to their website it automatically showed me the best flight deals from several nearby airports.
Woah, you guys are awesome! This is practically helpful and such a cool way to encourage engagement. I’ll be honest I didn’t actually realize there was a blog section of Award wallet before I got the email about my AA miles getting close to expiring, but now that I know this is here I am excited to learn more!!
I was very worried about my miles to be expired. This awful pandemic din not let me travel as I use to. I can’t complain since I am healthy but anyways, my vacations were ruined.
I am gladly surprised that American Airlines extended the time for us, the frequent flyers.
I hope this nightmare is over soon so we can all jump in a plane to keep knowing more countries.
Not gonna lie, I thought AW was only good as an app to check miles expiration and such, but now entered the blog and noticed is sooo useful! Still going trough the rabbit holes of info.
Keep it up
Men I miss flying.
Excellent! Just met AwardWallet because of this covid + mileage expiration problem. Very generous of you to solve this problem to every user!! Regards from Brazil
I’ve used Award Wallet for many years as my primary point-tracking app. Love how it automatically collects points from all my airline and hotel accounts. The bonus American Airlines points for commenting are icing on the cake and really helps since my travel is on hold.
Thank you for this info! It is helpful. I can’t wait to use my miles again!
This post is useful and has provided me insight to keep my miles active.
What a fantastic concept you guys have come up with. Many, including myself, have not been traveling because of COVID. I’ve just started receiving emails about points that are about to expire. I would never be able to keep track of all of my various points and loyalty programs without this awesome service. Thanks a ton!
As Juan comments below, great that we can preserve our American Airlines air miles. I usually fly between the Uk and USA a few times a year to work with collaborators on our research. During the Covid-19 lockdown this has sadly come to a complete halt… So I look forward to the day we return to the “new normal” Keep safe everyone!
It’s great information. I was very concerned about losing my miles due to travel restrictions as an essential healthcare worker. Thanks for all the detailed information on mileage programs and deals
Had no idea about this website but someone told me about commenting for 5 points so my points wouldn’t expire. Now I am going to go through this entire site!
This is extremely helpful – thank you! I will recommend to my family and friends. I’m new to using Advantage miles but this will be very helpful in preserving the few I have earned so far. I’ll also be reading further to figure out if an American Airlines credit card is worth it for me.
What a creative an engaging way to strengthen my loyalty and increase my AA Advantage value.
Thank you, AwardWallet, for making this possible. What a great way to keep my miles alive as I haven’t been able to travel with AA for sometime as most of my flights haven’t been in places where I can use AA miles.
It’s really great that you provide customers here an easy way to help extend their mileage expiration. I really appreciate it!
Hi, I’m Juan from Argentina. It is great to know that american airlines miles can be preserved through this site, posting or commenting. Unfortunately, AA’s frequent flyer programs were withdrawn from Santander Bank in Argentina. and it is important to know that one thanks to you, the miles can be kept in addition to knowing and enjoying the services that they offer in awardwallet.
This is a great way to keep your investment on miles earned safe. I was getting worried about the expiration date on my account, specially having in mind that I didn’t have the chance to use an AA credit card.
Hopefully this information will save time and headaches to lots of people.
COVID-19 has impacted all of us, and I find myself changed frequent traveler to a never traveler. Award Wallet has been a godsend in tracking the expiration dates of my programs. Looking forward to herd immunity and resumption of travel.
Interesting and useful
Thank you for sharing how to post on blogs to keep my AA account active. I don’t understand where the blog posts are located and how to find a blog to comment on? AA has been our sole Airline mile for the past 15 years but since Covid, we haven’t flown and worry about loosing our miles. We love AA and have found the upgrades on the web for reserving to be very welcome. We started out when one had to call and make the reservation and now they charge to do it that way!
Any more detailed explanation of where the blogs are located would be appreciated.
Thanks
Carolyn
This is a super helpful way to earn AA points. My account was going to expire soon and this helped me refresh my miles!
This is great but you guys need to advertise this more!
I’ve found this post very useful!! I was looking forward to renovate my American airlines miles before they expires, but travelling right now, unfortunately, is not the best option because of the actual situation. Better wait until things gets better. So I’ve just found out this great way to keep my miles, and not lose them!! To profit for my future trips! Thanks for this information!!!
This is so good of AA and award wallet both!
This is great in every moment but specially during travel restriccion. I’m recomending it to my friends and family.
I appreciate AA extending the cancellation of hard earned Award Miles.
Since the Pandemic back in March 2020 all business travel has been put on hold and all my accounts where I used to visit quarterly are now done remotely.
Hopefully later this year this will change and business will get back to normal.
Withdrawal of AAdvantage cc in the UK gives me an excellent way to keep a points balance alive.
I cannot travel lately because of the pandemic so I’m trying to find the way to extend the expiration of my AAdvantage miles. Thank you so much for the blog.
COVID restrictions are really strict here in Australia. Thanks for offering a way to extend my points. Can’t wait to be travelling again.
My husband advised me to use this page to keep AA from deleting my account, since I’ve not flown in awhile. Thanks for giving we infrequent travelers some options!
Thanks a lot! I was looking for ways to extend the expiration of my AAdvantage miles and I am very happy for finding this post.
This is a great idea and I enjoy all your articles. This helps me as I likely won’t be traveling before July and would hate to throw away all those miles.
I am grateful for the Award Wallet heads up re my expiring miles. That’s lead me here where I’m not researching my options. Obviously the last year’s events have stopped any significant travel plans. That’s all the more reason to be looking ahead to celebrate with some adventure when traveling is safe and allowed again. I want to be sure my miles are the there use!
This is a great way to extend your miles without having to spend a single cent!
This is an awesome benefit of Award Wallet!
I had forgotten about this opportunity and was glad to find it again. This is a great benefit!
I am trying it now, and will come back to see how it works. Thanks for the service!
This website is incredible. Due to covid, I haven’t been traveling. My honeymoon was delayed and I planned to use my points for a couple of round trip tickets! Worried they were going to expire, I found awardwallet to show me how to prevent it from happening. Thanks for saving years of points!!
I’m not sure where I’am flying to with this american airlines miles
More love for the blog post. Big up Award Wallet
It is really annoying that they have miles expire at all. I’m so glad you are here to help!
Thank you for this blog post to help us keep our reward miles intact while our travel plans are on hold!
Thats a great way of helping with extending the Expiration of miles. Thank you
Thank you! Excited to extend out my points
I am so glad to read this post. I have been searching how to extend my American airline miles. Now – I found the best solution!!! Thank you!
Hi I’m very new to this, how do you check to see why a post did not make it to the blog? This is my 2nd attempt and as far as I can see, posts timestamped after mine are on here but mine is missing.
Hi Bhikhu Shah,
Please note that it takes up to 5 business days to get the miles if your comment does get approved and we also have a limit of 5 miles per day. Also, please note that we have a combination of automated and manual approvals in place for commenting on our blog. In a nutshell, we don’t want people gaming the system (I am also not saying that you tried gaming the system either), we are simply looking for more meaningful comments where people share their personal experiences or opinions related to the post. Typically, comments like “Thanks for the heads up”, “Great deal”, “Cool” go to spam automatically (not always though as we tweak the system) because they clutter the discussion without adding value. As I see, your first comment has been already approved.
Like all the information at Award Travel. Great Service.
Love the AwardWallet AAdvantage miles…big help in resetting the 18 month expiration window….Thanks Award Wallet!
A very good public service you are causing to be done by keeping my AA miles from expiring during the pandemic
Thank you Awardwallet
Cheers

This post is very helpful! Thanks for keeping us informed!
this is great – thank you! So easy.
I’ve only just come across your site and I’m usually quite good at finding the good sites, so I’m not sure why it took me so long to find this one. I quite like the way everything is set up and I’m going to give it a go. I have just joined AA because of you so lets see where else I can earn miles. Thanks again and I look forward to many more miles from your advise.
Great way to earn enough AA Miles to prevent expiration.
Thanks
Award Wallet continually impresses me. Fan for life!
Thank you! Excited to extend out my points
I love this service! Allows me to keep my AA miles valid while travel is shutdown.
Well this is exciting news! Definitely going to spread the word on this.
looks like no travel in 2021 also, wish we could have some way to extend our miles of Alaska, Avianca , besides AA.
This is a great service to humanity !!
What an awesome perk!
Another reason to love AwardWallet. Thanks for the offer to help me from losing my AA mileage. Even with lifetime Plat, AA will kill the miles. So, thanks for this great service.
Hello Awardwallet
My family do appreciate the 5 miles for Awardwallet comment which allows us to preserve our respective AA mile balances.
During this pandemic Australian passport holder are not permitted to depart and travel overseas without an exemption (and we wouldn’t want too travel just now – not wanting to cause the introduction of the virus into the country or spread it)
Thank you Awardwallet for the service and the fantastic Awardwallet product.
Stay safe everyone
Cheers
Chris
This is a great way to earn airline miles and extend points expiration. Do you know if there are any similar promotions for hotel rewards points?
