I was wondering the same thing but this definitely ain't the right thread. Now that we're here, anyone know the answer?

They're joining OW in about 5 weeks but what makes you think that they're merging sooner than 2015?

There is no official date. Give it a few months.

Time is of the essence. If i can merge the two accounts I will have 90,000 AA points  for each of the two travelers whom i am trying to book nyc-tel aviv nonstop roundtrip tickets for in May.  Nonstop from nyc to tel aviv seem hard to come around especially since united only seems to release last minute award seats for that route

Anyway I can get free bags flying US if I have a AA credit card?
Also is there way I can get the miles credited to my AA account? It won't let me do it online.
Flight is after April 1st if that helps.

Interesting.

Though while there I learned that he took the opposite approach from me and booked several DL glitch trips for himself and therefore didn't get around to writing about it until it died.  So if you're wondering why only DD covered that glitch and none of the other bloggers did, it may just be because I was the only one who put readers first ;)

And that he credits Gary for the uber deal I found.
