I'm not grumbling about a paltry 1000 miles.

Rather, I am hoping for a more secure log-in and the glimmer of hope that this will obviate the need for the calligrapher-on-LSD letter quiz as part of the log-in process.

Are you sure? I thought the problem they are having right now (which delayed the starting of this login update promotion) is that the PIN login is still active after you change your password. Try it. I just did and both password and PIN work.

Better check again. My password has been changed - twice - but the PIN log-in is still operational.

The website still accepts 4 digits in the password line as a valid log in ...

Okay FlyerTalkers, it’s time to update your passwords and, as promised, you’ll get 1,000 Bonus Points for doing it by March 25!

Since we always want to make sure you have a safe and secure experience, we’re asking you to change your password as part of a new way to login to your account.

Your password must be updated by April 1, but the sooner the better – so we’re offering 1,000 Bonus Points if you change your password now! If you change your password starting today or by March 25 you will receive 1,000 Bonus Points.

As part of this update, we created new guidelines to make sure your password is a bit stronger.

Here’s what you need to know to get started…
  • Visit the Personal Information section in your account profile by logging in with your current credentials, and then select “Change Password.”
  • Your new password must be at least 8 characters, contain at least 1 upper case letter, and contain at least 1 number or 1 special character.
  • Remember to choose a unique password and update it at least every three to six months to ensure maximum security.

If you have any questions, please let me know here or via PM.

Thanks,
Erin

Hi Erin

Great news (assuming all is now fixed and there will be no further issues). Can I just check, will the bonus points extend current point validity? When I received a bonus 500 points recently I was told that it wouldn't alter my expiry date, so interest to know what activity does or does not reset the clock.

Thanx

If your current password was created prior to March 12, 2015, you will need to change your password and make this update by March 25, 2015, to earn the 1,000 Bonus Points.

Erin, you might consider updating your original post as well, since people might skip over the thread bump thinking it's just more people asking when the change will be.

Password changed, am I supposed to get some kind of confirmation email?
When do the points show up?

Thanks, Erin - updated. Can we expect to receive any email confirming a change has been made? When can we expect the 1k points to post?

Ooops sorry - posted before seeing adobbing's post!

If you change your password between March 12 and March 25, 2015, you will receive the 1,000 Bonus Points within six to eight weeks. No confirmation emails will be sent.

Thanks!
