The list doesn't include the purchase that kicked off this whole thing (a glitter screen protector), maybe it was too long ago.
Don't know why the purchase date for the 2nd 2,500 miles is earlier than the actual purchase date of the eBook, but it looks like it typically takes 3 weeks for anything to get posted.

Rather than deal with all these 83K mile issues, I guess AA may just file for bankruptcy. I can see the headlines: "AA Files For Bankrupty Over Multi-Trillion Mile Liability Caused By Its Flakey Agent Cartera."

And I actually did similarly, but forgot to put it in my post.

Haha, nice one. My dad forgets to log into HIS flyertalk account.
But let me introduce myself because I feel that none of you know me for who I really am.
My name is ComputerAge and I'm a 13 year old travel extraordinare who does all the FFP managing for my family, all the travel planning for my family, and YES, all the angered phone calls to airlines for my family.
I appeared on the game show JEOPARDY! on Kids Week (and I damn well got AAdvantage miles for that flight)
I think that some of you think of me differently, but honestly I can see myself like one of you people in the future (Business oriented and mile-obsessed). Along the likes of Clooney in Up in the Air. Except not having relations with a married woman
You don't know how much I DREAM to get elite status (at least for my mom, so when we travel we can be respected). Haha, this may seem pathetic to some of you 5MM.
So, am I accepted?

So, welcome further to our net (take that and what follows as you may). But I should warn you to stay far, far away from Marathon Man and others of similar ilk here. In our generation, he was called "The Candyman" or even "Mr. Tambourine Man" in an anthem back in the day. He would lead you into a life of depravity. This will become like drinking salt water. There will never be enough. And the other reprobates that you will take up with in your descent will make you feel good about it, even as your life - the life you could have led - slips away from your grip. But then, on the other hand...
[All the above except the welcome is sarcasm. One more tip: Sarcasm is very difficult to apply in writing, and is best identified soon after it is, when it is. Apologies for coming off pedantic. Lessons many never learn, as I did, the hard way.]*
And please stick around. It will be interesting, to this FTer anyway, to see how you see all of this.
* Also, this whole response is in the serious hope that you're not already bluffing. Which would be ten times worse than poorly-done sarcasm.

yes, very related. Same type of inept, probably poorly paid, non caring individuals managing these things as the malls!
Some say some Cartera uper management and or its lawyers had been reading this thread and pulling out bits to support their claims that WE are the culprits. And claims that stall efforts to actually get those 2500/2500 miles too! I really wonder if these loser-lawmen and these scam-ridden Cartera execs have been reading ALL points of view or just the ones they like and feel they can use? Are they learning anything from all of this? I do not think so. I think they are just like what Forest Gump said: Stupid is as stupid does. I would LOVE to be proven wrong.

I look terrible in the above article.
And in the case of mreeds and bravo, go ahead and be "hating on me." I hope it gives you satisfaction to personally insult a 13 year old. Definitely makes you the bigger person.
