My hsb has 30k due to expire in 1mth. We can buy some miles to prolong their shelf life but he really only flys UA or Luftansia for business-anyone have any ideas what we can do? Too bad, unlike Delta, they do not have any options like magazines, etc.
 
30k AA miles will get you anywhere is the US and even to some nice Mexican resorts depending on the season. You can keep them alive with just one small purchase through the AA eshopping program: https://www.aadvantageeshopping.com/ I think you can still get an itunes purchase for $1. I also play the games at the Microsoft Livesearch site and transfer the points to AA. http://club.live.com/Pages/Home/HomePage.aspx

Whichever you do, do it quickly so that the miles have time to post.

Here is another way to pick up miles. Again, you would need to do this promptly because there will be a delay until miles post to your AA account.

Opinion Place (www.opinionplace.com) has online surveys. You can sign up as a member (free). If you qualify for a survey (and you don't always), you can select AA miles as your reward.

There is nothing to purchase. Usually the surveys are from companies that sell various consumer products. They take about 15-20 minutes to work through usually.
 
And - for today - go to AA.COM and go to Restaurant.com in there partner program. Get a $25.00 Gift certificate for $2.00 and 5 miles for every dollar you spend ..
Use the coupon FIRST for the 80% off

Yes... It's a way for Microsoft to get traffic through its search engine. :rolleyes: Most of the games are word games. My favorite right now is Flexicon - a crossword puzzle type game. I've probably "earned" 10,000+ miles since it began.

Me too. Flexicon gives the most points per game but I like the Spelling Bee. It takes up to 19 days for the miles to post.

Elli, I thought I posted an answer the other night but I don't see it. Go here

Thanks for the Live Search games tip - I've been playing the games and also letting my 10 year old help out with earning AA miles :)
 
I can't get past the "initialize account". Even when I click help and then click customer service, it keeps bringing me back to initialize account. Has anyone else seen this? I thought it might be my browser so I switched, but although I could get further in the dialog, I still don't have an initialized account. Is anyone else having problems?

I finally got my Live Search account set up and I've "rejuvenated" my accounts and my husbands. He travels less than I do so his were in danger of losing miles.

Now I'm playing to actually get additional miles. Thanks for pointing this out! Having fun and earning miles. Great combination.

how do you get it for delta or usair instead of AA?

When you choose airline miles as the reward, there is a screen that lists the available airlines. Choose the one you want; there are at least a half dozen to pick from.

Me too! My daughter and I are sometimes on simultaneously on different computers. Once we had the same puzzle - the one who finished it first got 25 points, and the one who finished second got 0.
