Greatest Chap Ever! Get Lifetime AAdvantage Status in no time!
« on: October 16, 2011, 07:39:46 PM »
I got Lifetime Gold AAdvantage Status by purchasing stuff on aadvatange eshopping and allowing the credit card to be declined because my credit limit was too low.. However last week AAdvantage figured it out and readjusted my Program to Date Miles from 1.2 Mil to 600K and took away the Gold status. However I am in the process of fighting with the them by proving them they are contradicting their own terms and conditions which state any miles earned through any transaction whch should include miles which are posted and them removed because of a "return".

Dan, please let me know what you think, how I can get AA to back down and give me the Program to Date miles back to my 1.2 Mil with my  Elite Status.

Thanks

Why not? Its ging against their own published terms and conditions which says "Until November 30, 2011, all American Airlines AAdvantageŽ miles earned through flights and other transactions will count toward Million MilerSM status."

I sent them an email and they responded

"Dear Mr. ,

During a routine check on the health of our AAdvantage eShopping(SM)
mall, we noticed that you previously returned a large number of mileage
earning purchases made through this program. We truly hope that this is
not indicative of the functionality of our product, and we wanted to
ensure that all is well. Your feedback on the usability of the
AAdvantage eShopping mall is welcomed and appreciated.

As part of our reconciliation process, we also noticed that your usable
AAdvantageŽ miles were correctly adjusted at the time of the return, but
your program-to-date miles continued to carry the balance earned by the
merchandise that was returned. We have since adjusted your
program-to-date miles to properly reflect what you have earned. Rest
assured that both your usable miles and your program-to-date miles are
now accurately reflected in your AAdvantage account.

Due to this adjustment, the 1 Million Miler status and accompanying
benefits have also been removed, as your current program-to-date mileage
balance no longer qualifies.

As always, we appreciate your business. Thank you for being an
AAdvantage member.

Regards,

Ebony Adams
Manager
AAdvantage Customer Service
American Airlines

Lala, Why is it stealing? They takes the miles right back after they put them in, you just get the credit towards your program to date balance. WHat are you stealing and from who?

It might not be what they had in mind. But I dont think its stealing. Is signing up for a credit card for the miles and closing it right away stealing? (also known as churning)
