The gentleman I spoke to said he would email me an affidavit that I was to fill out and send back along with a copy of the death certificate. I did that immediately and when I checked my account later this afternoon, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the mileage was already posted to my account. I should also report that AA charged me no fee for this transfer of miles. My thirty five years of loyalty to AA has paid off in this very lugubrious moment.
First, I’m so sorry for your loss. I wish words could express my condolences.

Second, thank you for taking the time to update this thread and sharing your experience with this helpful policy of AA.
