Effective March 1, 2022, AAdvantageŽ members must have mileage earning or redeeming activity once every 24 months, or be the primary holder of an open AAdvantageŽ credit card account associated to their AAdvantageŽ account, in order to retain their miles. The primary AAdvantageŽ credit cardmember should refer to their AAdvantageŽ card agreement to understand their obligations to keep the account open, and understand the conditions under which their AAdvantageŽ credit card issuing bank may close the account, including inactivity. Unless otherwise stated, if your account has no qualifying activity in any 24-month period, all miles in the account will expire. Primary AAdvantageŽ credit cardmembers will not be subject to the 24-month qualifying activity period. However, upon closure of the AAdvantageŽ credit card account, AAdvantageŽ members will be subject to the 24-month activity requirement and must have mileage earning or redeeming activity within 4 months of closure or within 24 months of the last qualifying activity date, whichever is later, in order to retain their miles and their expiration date will be determined by the later date of the two. For new AAdvantageŽ credit cardmembers it will take up to 24 hours after the bank’s approval until their accounts reflect that no expiration date applies to their miles. Qualifying activity extends the expiration date of all unexpired mileage credit in your account for 24 months from the date of the qualifying activity. Qualifying activity is defined as redeeming any AAdvantageŽ award or accruing mileage credit on any eligible American, American EagleŽ or AAdvantageŽ airline participant as well as accruing mileage credit with participating hotels, car rental companies, credit cards, telecommunication providers and other service providers offering AAdvantageŽ mileage credit. The 24-month activity requirement will not apply to AAdvantageŽ members under age 21. Once a member turns 21 years of age, their account must have mileage earning or redeeming activity within 24 months of their 21st birthday in order to retain their miles. If your account does not include a birth date in the member profile, the account will be subject to the 24-month activity rule.
