Anyway, if someone could enlighten me regarding this borrowing business I'd be very grateful. If you can confirm the current facts regarding AA's elite status mileage shortfall thing too..?


When I borrowed miles from AA, they were volunteered to me. I called to ask if there was a $ + miles award, and the CS person told me they could loan me the miles. I don't remember exactly how much it was, but know that it was over 1000. At the time I was regularly charging about $5000 a month with my Citi Business account, and wondered if that had any influence. It sure made my day!
