First, I'd like to welcome all the new members of FT! It's great to have a growing community.

Second, as a personal comment/request, could everyone (new and veteran members), please post questions of the actual mileage redemption on either the BA forum or AA forum?

This thread has just become huge due to off topic questions regarding redemption procedures and policies (and repeat questions already answered several times). I know it's easier for everyone to just post here and hope for an answer about redeeming their miles, but there's already a lot of discussions in the appropriate forum.

I know I'm not a mod and I'm not trying to "manage" or "control" people's habits... I'm just trying to make it easier for everyone to avoid going through a ton of posts that are not relative to the actual application/approval/earning process of this offer.

Thanks!
