i love seeing airlines (ie AA) advertise the fact that their FF program miles "DON'T expire as long as you fly 36 months"....in other words they DO EXPIRE. there should be some sort of law restricting misleading and illogical statements like that in advertising</font>
I think it's clear enough. Besides, the effort to reset the clock is so minimal, with airlines like AA. Qualify for a survey on Opinionplace.com, or eat a taco at an inexpensive restaurant using iDine, and the clock starts over. Besides, requiring minimum activity gives airlines a way to clean up their databases of inactive accounts. Otherwise, if a member with a small balance dies without giving the airline the courtesy of telling them they're dead, their miles would have to be in their active records forever (or until the FF program is terminated).
