Hello again....I did some poking around in case anyone is interested in hearing more about the Mexicana Frequenta program. I just spent about 45 minutes on the phone with Mexicana trying to get some answers to my questions and find out how to make sense of this whole program.

First things first....I was informed by their CS supervisor that there were no intentions by Mexicana to have Frequenta Miles from the B of A card eventually move to dropping into their GO program. This means that for all of you out there like me that still have a Frequenta card, you'll have to settle for using 50k points for a free R/T ticket from US to Mex. However, what I did learn is that Mexicana is partnering with a new financial institution which will issue a new card in the near future for use with the Mexicana GO program. So, if you are a loyal Mexicana cardmember and want to get rewards like you used to, then hold on until the new one comes out and make the switch. There was no date he gave me, but he did say in the near future.

The whole reason I started looking into this is because my wife and I are having our first child in June and are planning to get in one last vacation of solitude b/t the 2 of us before our lives change significantly. As I was saying in my post above, I have enough points combined in both Frequenta and GO for 2 free R/Ts....however given the lame 2:1 transfer ration of Frequenta to GO, I come up a few short. The C/S manager suggested I contact the person in charge of administering the points transfer and plead with them to make an exception to do a 1:1 transfer this time. He says that they have on occasion made exceptions. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed and give my best story. I'll let you know how it goes in case anyone is interested.
