So we decided to try and find a short haul quick flight with AA out of NYC to re-instate our lost miles.

We would like to did it ASAP so we can use our miles to book travel in 3-4 weeks.

Any advice?

Why not buy a car rental receipt?

Amazing!

I need to read this post in detail... the issue i think I am going to have is our miles expired in 2013... so it will be looking for a needle in a haystack!

Only works for past 12 months AFAIK.

Conceptually, if I were to tr and get multiple car rental credited from the date of expiry to less then 12 months ago would that work in your opinion?


If not, my OP is still relevant, still looking for a short haul flight IE under $200 to re-instate with their challenge.

Issue is I don't think car rentals will credit more than 12 months old.
But I'm not positive about all of them being that way.
