MilesBuzz! - Frequent Flyer Programs To End April 31.

Carefully read this news article (http://www.webflyer.com/programs/notiflyer/) posted today on WebFlyer.

Gary, what will you do with your free time??????

I burned all of my miles for perpertual travel lined up for the next year. (You think I would tell you about this before I got mine?!) :D

Most of them have become effectively useless already.

Just transfered my 155,990 AA miles to Hilton for over 300,00 points. Seems like a bargin now. Hope it goes through. Am now working on my 200,00+ Delta miles, any suggestions, What about my 100,000 + United any suggestions.
No way to travel before April 15th

I guess that means we don't have to do any more MR's.

This is the FIRST I have heard of this in APRIL. You would have to be a bunch of FOOLS not to burn up all your miles immediately, because of the imminent termination of all these FF programs.

HURRY!

I used up all my miles by February 31.

Miles? What miles? I just transferred all of mine to Gary... :p

Read it once, then thought about it, read it again and saw the date it was posted. Good one. if it were real i would think that there would be media coverage.

Miles? What miles? I just transferred all of mine to Gary... :p

Thanks. I think I will transfer them to Hilton points, then move into the local Hilton and live the life of luxury for the rest of my life. (Beats going to a nursery home, and its probably cheaper.)

ha, ha, ha, but you did freak me out for a sec....

Wow!! No more FFPs? This site will basically become all OMNI, all the time. :D

Anyway, thanks for the heads-up. I just finished converting my remaining 2.3 million FF miles through Points.com to Priority Club. That generated just enough for 2 nights at the Holiday Inn in Overland Park. Sweet!! Hello Indoor Pool!!!!

All mileage programs to be terminated? Hmmm. I have a few questions about this that I don't think have been covered before on FT:

1) Will airline employees have priority in getting upgrades over those using miles before April 31?

2) Is it okay for my wife and me to bring our young kids into F if we all get the upgrades?

3) What is the best way to pick up a FA? Is mentioning the termination of the mileage programs a good conversation starter?

4) Is the AmEx Centurion still a good deal without the miles, and how do I get offered that card?

5) Does this mean we no longer have to tip hotel maids?

Very funny.

April 31 and Feb 31?????

April 31 and Feb 31?????

Remember that those are the best two dates on which to redeem CO awards. When in doubt, ask 'em for a Feb 31 departure and a 12th of Never return.

THIS would be one way to get the Marathon Man to shut up.
(I'd still write long letters to someone about it though!)
