Browsing through the skymall to keep my 7-year-old's miles from expiring, I found iTunes at $0.99 or a pencil from OfficeMax at $0.99 with free shipping. My only concern is that my friends at the McAirline will stiff my on the 1 mile as it's only 99 cents. They've shown that they are good at truncating vs. rounding in the past.

I just did this for '10 miles' and says it will post within 7 business days.
Seems January 31st is a big cut off day for miles to expire... If the activity in the account is for January 30th but doesn't post till February 2nd, think that will be sufficient? I am doing a print screen of the current mileage in case I need it later

My husband just lost all his miles thanks to his iTunes miles not posting. We only discovered this last night and we're debating where to begin to try to remedy this. Good luck with your lost miles!

in case anyone searches to find this thread. I used points.com to save my father's miles. got 10 points after signing him up - took about 2 hours to post, but I had to create a login for him at the usair site (he originally joined in 1985 way before websites so never had a login). Until points.com shows the milage amount for the account, the account isn't verified and miles won't post.

Its free and easy
Next time you grab lunch or dinner or even just a drink check the listings for restaurants and bars.
You can earn miles and keep your account from expiring.

Most of the restaurants in their dining program are places that I wouldn't dream of going to, but there is one exception that everyone can afford: Burger King; a single order of small fries kept my miles alive.

Miles in your account have been forfeited due to inactivity
My Miles have been forfeited due to inactivity.
I had activity on my america west account , but not the usair acount. thought they merged it...
I know that I can reinstate these miles by earning miles by 11/1/2010 with their credit cards, so I applied...,
Does the debit card work or Dividend Miles Shopping Mall work as well??

Before you get mad at US Airways. When was the last time you had activity in your "America West" account? If its been a while, then they were well within their rules to remove the miles. You can only reactivate the miles based on what they are telling you. Its my understanding that other forms of activity won't do the trick.

I got a letter saying that I had miles that were going to forfeit due to inactivity last week. It was like 12,000 miles that never merged during the HP/US Air merger. I was able to get them to combine my accounts. I just had to have activity very soon to keep them active. Luckily I got the mailer about these miles before they expired. It was like found money.. A nice gift if you will.

so will merging my old US and AmericaWest accounts work to get back the forfeited miles as well?

I would give them a call. Tell them that you were unaware that you actually had two accounts going. They should let you merge the accounts as long as the information matches.. THey may or may not help. I had pretty good luck.

However just note that they can take up to a week to post the miles.
