I am curious about the American Airlines awards that E-rewards issues. Is the award a certificate that can be transferred to another person, or is it issued in your name and AA Frequent Flyer # so it cannot be transferred? The reason I am wondering is that I will have E-rewards expiring on August 1 and will lose most of their value if they have not been redeemed by then. I normally redeem E-rewards for HHonors points, but I last redeemed in early May and will not be able to redeem again before the scheduled anniversary devaluation. If the award is in a transferrable form, I may be able to work a trade with someone, perhaps for a Marriott point certificates from MyPoints, as I know the Marriott awards from MyPoints are in a certificate form that is sent in to Marriott and can be applied against any Marriott account. Also, how do HHonors points credit through MyPoints? Are they issued as a certificate like the Marriott points awards from MyPoints, or are they issued instantly to your HHonors account as the E-Rewards HHonors awards are? Thanks for any info anyone might be able to supply.
