Is that YOUR life or American's life? Stock not looking good today......

See post from American Airlines.

1,735,000
 

Only 265,000 to go
21,000 Bank direct will post 10/5
132,000 Bank direct will post 11/5

Just need to buy $112,000 of refundable AA tickets on my credit card and I'll be platinum for life!!!

Don't count on getting your BankDirect miles today
 

Don't count on your BankDirect miles posting on October 5, 2011.

My miles from American Airlines AAdvantage dining program are posting much more on schedule than BankDirect.

Let us know if you were disappointed with BankDirect today.

I'm at 890,000 miles and I do have AA credit cards but I rarely use them now a days. Is it worth to spend $100k and get charged 2.2% on the transaction.

I would get 100k miles for $2,200 via paypal. Is that worth it?

How can anonymous strangers ascertain "worth" on your behalf?

Since you would be the one parting with $2200, why don't you tell us if that is "worth" it to you? :confused:

Is your FlyerTalk profile correct and you're a Platinum flying ~50k miles per year? If so, why bother when you'll be at Lifetime Gold in another two years of flying anyways?

Because I don't know what my future holds or if I'll fly 50k a year.

How would you get 100k miles for $2,200 miles via paypal?

Don't forget you can trade people for points here for certain charges...

https://www.points.com/

You can also convert some of your own points for free, for example I converted a little over 1,000 BBY Reward Zone points for just under 300 miles on AA. No charge.

It makes me really sad that they're doing away w/ the credit card points counting towards MM status, that was the main reason I got a card last year... at least I can still fly w/ my rewards...but really disappointed that it won't count towards lifetime status. That was a huge part of why I decided to fly AA versus others originally since they used to be the only one that let you use bonus and CC miles towards lifetime status...

I know a few people whom I would gladly trade in for some miles...

;)

Not 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 which I can tell you first hand - or EVER - but you can sure use the miles to fly!

I just received an email today announcing the new program. What's interesting is that I passed 1MM months ago, never received a letter, email or luggage tags yet this email implied that my lifetime Gold status and MM achievement had already been acknowledged. I knew because I'd read about it and saw the upgrades show up in my account, yet this seems like one hand isn't talking to the other at AA>

It's officially stated as "for the life of the Gold [or Platinum] AAdvantage Elite program."

So, not for the life of AA, or even the AAdvantage program, but of the specific elite level you're granted "lifetime" membership of.

Nobody seems to have commented on a sentence i noticed in today's MM e-mail we all seem to have gotten, to wit:

"All of your Program to Date AAdvantage miles earned so far as well as any AAdvantage miles posted between now and November 30, 2011, will count toward the new Million Miler program."

This sentence appears to address the question several of us have discussed here on FT, which is whether miles that post after 12/1 but are backdated to a date prior to 12/1 will count. The way I read the e-mail, backdated miles will not count in the MM total. If they're not there on 12/1, they don't count. Anybody else read it differently?
