Nothing. TWA's miles got incorporated in to American's program. USAirways still has their mileage program going. United will, too.

Of things to stress about, what happens to your miles is the last thing that should be on your mind.

There's really no difference in miles pre or post-bankruptcy. After all, at any time they want, they can just kill the program with no recourse to you. It's in the terms and conditions.

UA is required to give 6 months notice for killing the program. They can make changes at their discretion, but complete termination (or changes which have the same effect) require 6 months notice per the terms of the MP program.

The confidence that mileage programs will be protected may stem from the TWA, Eastern, and Pan Am liquidation, but the recent Ansett liquidation suggests something different might happen the next time around.
