Why do you need to blow them? Expiration? It’s very easy to extend those miles

likesmart

Maybe need is a strong word choice, but I don’t travel for work much at all anymore and much prefer Southwest for domestic travel anyway. So I’m considering my options for what to do with them.

You can donate them to charity: https://www.aa.com/i18n/customer-service/about-us/let-good-take-flight/donate.jsp

Note that *any* activity will reset the expiration clock, no matter how small.
