Actual miles, no minimum.

Yep, it certainly is.
this is a program and conept frought with ambiguity and 'maybes'.
by the time we accure enough ty points for two J tixs using fixed flight options, who knows if fixed flights in premium cabinwill still be offered?
I think that the adage, 'smoke em , if you got them" applies here.
There is something to be said for a mature program, ala AAvantage.
of course they can change the program , but I have often bought a rev. tix. in order to 'save' my AA miles for a better value redemption.
I ain't doing this with TY!
First decent value fixed flight redemption, I will cash in.

ok...so maybe "writetorich" misunderstood my post....
Flight points are held in your Chairman as long as you keep it active.....now since this was a JAN statement and these flight were to be in Jan...so one would actually get the flight points credit 6-8 weeks after the flight has commenced.
Bu since I am a "GREAT DEADBEAT"....they will credit approx 40k flight points this month because of my surplus I have built up....
So, cust service from Chairman is still good beause I am getting the flight points by end of FEB instead of April....

I have been with this program since OCT 2004 -- no devaluation...and premium class tickets are still being offered

Rereading post #68 and post #78 I still don't understand what the customer service agent did or why. Did he credit Flight Points for flights not yet flown, or did he convert Flight Points to redeemable Thank You Points before you matched them with Purchase Points, or both, or something else Originally Posted by anaggie

no...what I did was try to get the points one statement early... since the flights were in January, they would have posted to my acct till March...but they will post to my acct in Feb even if the purchase points are not there since my "Lifetime" purchase points exceed the lifetime flight points.....Originally Posted by mia

now...the next question is "what are lifetime points"...these are your points you have accumulated in your entire history...which you can use to credit flight points early as long as you are a "Great deadbeat client".....

there aren't any restrictions on this. Flight points should post as long as there are lifetime purchase/bonus/select points to match them. In 2006 I had purchase points from 2005 "carry over' and help new flight points be transferred. I don't think you really got an advance; I think you got what you were owed and just had to point that out to them.Originally Posted by anaggie

exactly !!! You have to pooint it out to them otherwisae they will not give it to you...like with all upgrades and so forth...not really a Chairman/Citi issue....
Unless you ask for your upgrade at the hotel, they are not going to give it to you....
