I didn't think American airlines reward miles expire. Just noticed my 300k miles are supposed to expire 7/2019...will they really vanish if I don't use them to travel?

You just have to fly on a revenue ticket, use miles, or buy something using their CC or e shopping portal every 18 months to extend the life of your miles. Not hard

Op, I don’t know what you mean by “toll” but what I mean is simply buying a $20 item from their online site at least once a year will keep your points alive for another year.

Toll = taking some action so as to extend. Like, tolling a statute of limitations. Sorry, legal term.

@Director: I can toll the time by using them on their shopping site? Only way to toll?

@EY2, if you're 👧 you might be able to talk me into taking you to Hawaii. I've been thinking about a long weekend soon anyways.

OP did you just assume my gender ? 🤦
Kidding...
I am a man child. 👼

How do people really not know that you only have to buy one flight to extend that expiration

@kpmg: it's probably entirely possible that some people are brand new to Consulting, flying a lot, and points system. Yes I realize I have three hundred thousand points. Those are all from last year. Clearly, I've been busy.

What else can I do for her? She has too many toys & doesn’t play with them often. No need for more treats since she eats more treats than kibbles. But what gift can I get her?

It's sad to see people with 2-3 years of experience getting paid more than you when u have double the experience. 😄 Best part is they are still complaining of getting less. Well I guess you should never settle. New gen is giving a hard time to the experienced folks. I think this is the high time to upgrade your skills. Come out of your comfort zone and start looking for new opportunities. I think this is the best time to switch if u haven't already in quite some time.
