I can repost it on that other forum but I also learned posting in more than forum is against rules (I wasnt sure where it should go so I did post in 3 locations to ensure a response).
AA points dont expire for 18 months but if I convert to Delta, I risk them unless I use them as I am really trying as of late to fly one airline exclusively.
Unfortunately I do not have common destinations. My flights are project and client based. If we get a request for a project in city X, I go there. Often only 1-3 times. And this just rotates fairly randomly. There are times we do one project frequently in one city but within 1 year that changes.
Last year I did SFO monthly, earlier this year Chicago monthly for 6 months. Now, I am on a random pattern so it all depends on where the clients send us.
