What do you do with your kids miles? My daughter has almost 25k AA miles, it's not a lot, but it could pay for one domestic flight.

She's 4, so yeah, when she turns 18 she will have a ton of miles, which are probably enough to pay for a preferred seat 🤣🤣.

One (not very wise) way to use those points is to upgrade seats for everybody in the reservation, but is there any other way to use those miles? I tried transferring AA miles once, it's ridiculously expensive, just not worth it.

United offers pooling of miles for family now. Not sure if AA does the same.

I’ve never gotten the anti-American vibe.

All of the recent changes of the last few years have made it much more rewarding for American loyalists who wouldn’t earn EP through flights alone.

Even the buy an upgrade in-app thing they do that all the old-school EP’s hate is much more advantageous for the overwhelming majority of
their customers.

You can buy miles to others (eg you) from her account. Don’t let accumulate too much as they keep devaluing

AA doesn’t allow family pooling iirc (like United or Flying Blue do). So the option is use her account to book a ticket for her or someone else. And then ask AA to link the reservations after the fact

Thanks, can she book her own ticket as a 4 y/o?
