Hi all -- long-time reader, first-time poster. I haven't logged into my Advantage account since probably 2019, and I didn't realize that the email address in my profile is one that's no longer active (from a job I retired from in 2019). When I try to log in to my Advantage account now, it automatically sends a verification message to that defunct email address, with no option to send the verification message somewhere else, like to the cellphone number listed in the profile. I called AA tech support today to get the email address changed; the support person kept requesting addresses of places where I used to live pre-2010, which I can't remember and may not have a record of (shredded lots of old documents before moving across the country in 2019).

Can anyone advise if there is another way to verify my identity and have my email address changed so I can log in to my AA account? If not, I guess I'll follow the process specified to close the account and (maybe) open a new one in the future.

Many thanks!
