An AA rep just told me that I had 38K miles expire in 2009. She said I can have them put back on my account by completing a flight and paying a $30 fee, as part of their reengagement program. The miles will post back on my account after I complete the trip, but I must call and pay the fee prior to flying in order for it to work.
I want to try and book a flight, pay the $30 fee, and then cancel the flight. According to the CSR I would have to actually fly in order to receive the miles, but she didn't sound so sure of herself. Has anyone ever taken advantage of this program and have any input to offer?
