I do think it is time. I know no one lese has broached the topic of split parnerships, but that's what we do and as I've written before......it will happen. If you have any reason to want American Express Membership Points for use in the American AAdvantage program in the future, I'd make that switch now to TWA miles. I'm a little concerned of how American is handling the TWA awards into American right now. They put out a press release several days ago stating that they could take no action until having court/legal approval regarding the frequent flyer program issue. Here's why I have a problem with that statement, and I'm not trying to cheap shot AAdvantage on the issue - TWA Aviators has been part of a reciprocal relation with AAdvantage several years ago, so if they are saying they need court/legal approval (suspect statement), they already have on recdord that approval from a pre-exisiting relationship. It is a great way to keep redemption solely to the route structure of TWA and not have it encompass anything from the American Airlines network. But hey, I just have my opinion......need the number to call to make the redemption request?
