Thank you. This seems to be the first bonus offer from Alitalia since we started the Wikipost to track offers. It's good to see that American Express is working to expand the pool of opportunities.

It appears this restriction applies to purchased points, not to transferred points. Click here and read forward:

Do Alitalia miles expire? Does anyone know what the chances are that Alitalia might "reboot" their program like they did in the past where they announce the expiration of their entire frequent flier program, effectively giving an expiration date of all miles in an existing program and then opening a "new" program?

I read on the Alitalia site that there are restrictions when using your miles to purchase an award ticket for someone other than the owner of the miles. The flyer would have to have a note from the miles-owner with them when they check in. Anyone experience this?

There are reports on the Flyertalk Alitalia Forum that Alitalia just increased miles needed for award flights. In some cases miles required have doubled!

Need some help/advice. I'm trying to take advantage of this promotion (just found availability for a flight I want to book at Alitalia) -- my problem -- I never linked my Alitalia account to my membership rewards account. I made the link request yesterday but it says online that it could take 2 weeks to link.
Anyone have a sense as to timing of linking alitalia to amex? Can Amex expedite this process somehow?
