2015 Roll Call

28,125 AA miles: nice uptick from last year helped by a USAir 2,000 miles new member bonus that was then merged with AA.

Reversing a four year downward trend, I show past years' earnings as proof that the bonus-laden/10 miles per $ old days were in fact better. Much better:


2014: 19,303
2013: 23,593
2012: 28.151
2011: 69,194
2010: 90,095
2009: 84,980
2008: 135,097
2007: 117,774
2006: 121,518
2005: 122,031
2004 and prior years: 230,389

AA is my main program but I also belong to three other programs as well. I am VIP in all four programs. I earned about 5800 miles with AA and about 1200 in each of the other programs.

Lowest total for me since I joined the program with a whopping 3,277 UA points in 2015! Really a joke considering I was trending around 20k per year in recent years off high years in which i was close to 50k. Wonder if the program will still be around much longer.

My gut sense guess is that since taking it back private (and therefore not having to show growth to pump the stock price) ownership is OK with giving +/- 35% of the points to +/- 60% of the business.

I ground out re-qualification in four programs ... just barely, with the last of those dines on Dec. 28th. I don't recall a single promotion all last year, so this year I may be tempted not to have "food runs" (usually a single drink) to get in all those. We'll see ...
