I originally joined AP in 86 and accrued over 30k in around 3 years, then had no further activity but continued to get mailings for several years.

Back then the program seemed to have a forth coming termination which was extended year after year. There were no rules about expiring mileage.

I joined Canadian's program and accrued over 100k before the merger and was surprized my old inactive AP account had ZERO miles to combine with my CP balance. Apparently at some point AP made an inactivity rule and deleted my balance without the coutesy of warning me to post some activity redeem or lose the balance.

Anyone have any experience getting deleted mileage reinstated? What would be the best course of action to get my antique mileage back?
