i have approx 200k AA miles that expired back in December. for some reason i miscalculated the expiration date and now they're giving me the following 2 options:
Option #1: pay a $600 reinstatement fee
Option #2: complete the re-engagement challenge with "all" of the following 3 activities completed: #1) pay a $30 registration charge, #2) subscriebe to AA Advantage eSummary and AAdvantage promotions email, #3) complete 2 round trip flights "AND" earn an additional 10k partner base miles (i.e. AA credit card purchases)
anyone with experience here? do i actually have to fly or can i purchase 2 round trip cheap tickets and just not showing up at the flight?
Thanks!
