This expert says: "To protect yourself, the first thing you should do is use your frequent flier miles as soon as you can. If they go bankrupt and they liquidate the carrier, the miles will be worthless.”
Does anyone have more information on this likelihood?
Self-proclaimed "expert" knows nothing here.
DL, UA, US and NW have all been to Chapter 11 in the past 5 years. There was no impact to any frequent flyer miles.
Only in Chapter 7 bankruptcy (liquidation) would losing miles be an issue.
