Of course, if the posting occurs afterwards I assume there will be some hassle involved in calling etc.

Bought me a coat through Kohls.com because my miles (all 15,000 of them) were set to expire in May. Spent $14, miles posted in less than a week. In fact, I don't even have the coat yet but I have the miles!

I had a decent chunk of US air miles that expired a couple days ago... is there any chance the CS would let me do the $9 preservation or is it too late? Otherwise I'm looking at a $250 fee or flying on US sometime in the next couple months (latter would be doable). Thanks for any help.

How can I even tell if my miles are expiring? When I log into the site, I don't see anything about expiring miles. And when I click "last statement", nothing happens.
And when is it expected that this program will merge with the AA program? Is there a date yet?

Dividend Miles expired -- worth saving?
I have 1,998 dividend miles. I can spend $9 before the end of the month to save them. Is it worth it? I rarely fly US airways, although a couple of my friends just moved to AZ so I may be flying out there more often, probably with US Air. If they and AA ever combine their milage programs, that would be great, as I often fly AA when I do fly. Regardless, is it worth $9 to save my 2,000 miles?

Welcome to FlyerTalk, enriquei ^
Can't do anything with 2,000 US miles by themselves, but they'd be merged with AA at some point (likely next year) to add to your AA balance.
Valuing each US mile at 1 cent, your US miles are worth about $20. Whether it's worth spending $9 now for $20 worth of later use is up to you ...

I wouldn't spend $9 for 2,000 miles, but I would buy something through their shopping mall that I already needed.

Dividend Miles Expiring
As an AA EXP, I generally fly AA, but pre-merger, I had a small US Dividend Miles account (primarily because I live on the East Coast and fly the shuttle). Post merger, I have continued to fly on US metal, but switched all activity to Aadvantage for the elite qualification assistance. I noted that my Dividend Miles are expiring; while I understand that there are many inexpensive and easy ways to keep my miles active, it is just annoying that my post-merger activity on US doesn't keep my Dividend Miles from expiring - I just want to keep them so that they will be eventually added to my aadvantage account. In the great scheme of things, this is a small annoyance (and I just paid 8 dollars to keep the miles active - yes, I know there are cheaper ways) but I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem, in either direction (AA or US miles expiring).
