Automatic login to aa.com
Having been experiencing problems with Greasemonkey, I can recommend using a bookmark (adapted from a post on the BA forum) as a simpler way to automate login to aa.com:
https://www.aa.com/login/loginSubmit... AAdvantageNo>
Another useful bookmark I use is a Google search of the AAdvantage Forum:
http://www.google.com/advanced_searc...=en&lr=&num=20
https://www.aa.com/login/loginSubmit... AAdvantageNo>

I'd advise against using this method to log in via any public internet portal. When you put your ID and password in the GET variables in the URL they're unencrypted and easily available to anyone with some simple tools.

So does this create a real risk? Are there people who would search for and use my aa.com password? [Quick note to self: change my aa.com password so that it unique!

Or use lastpass.com which is free and has a browser plugin that does similar (and much, much more).
There are others as well (1password, keepass) that are similar. Great overall for security across the board.

Highly recommend this. Lastpass (and I assume its competitors) is awesome.
