The exception for kids' miles not expiring is very good. Kids without divorced parents can have a hard time flying a certain airline regularly unless they order magazines just to extend miles from expiring
My account still shows the miles expiring in 18 months of inactivity, but the account itself now has a 24 month expiration date.
My account just changed! My miles now will expired 18 months later! But I will loose my Executive Platinum status! at the end of March!
Thanks Ben for the info! it is very useful for my plans!
My aadvantage account was 25 years old when I turned 28... Growing up overseas, I had countless tatl flights and miles that have expired a dozen times over before I was old enough to start buying my own flights. Glad they finally made this decision. Maybe I can submit for mileage earned back in the 80s?
Question: does an advance flight booking with miles reset the expiration clock? Mine are due to expire March 31st, but I want to use them for a ticket to fly
April 8th.
18 months or 24 months flies by fast and if you don't fly alot you may forget and lose those miles. It's great you don't have to keep track of the kids miles and you just give it to them when they turn 21. They can apply for an Advantage card and fly free for their first time.
