Spouses with Points - Combine
My wife has 49,000 AA Miles; I have 12,900. We are both Admirals Club members. Looking to book DFW-SXM round-trip. Using my wife's miles, we come up 73 miles short. To buy minimum 2,000 miles = $85, or something like that. How can we overcome this 73 mile deficit without the $85 cost? Thoughts?

Could you possibly book these tickets as one -ways for the same number of miles?
For example:
Under wife's account: Both outbound flights and one of your return flights
Your account: the other return flight

Miles can be transferred from one account to another in increments as little as 1000 miles. It will be considerably cheaper than purchasing, but there is no way to do it for free. You could be something on the AA Shopping site, but the miles won't credit instantly -- https://www.aadvantageeshopping.com/
