Sofoflyer sounds like an American rep or PR person. Just look at the tone of the note.

Bottom line I quit using American after they canceled some of my miles with no warning due to inactivity. I now avoid them even though my company has a deal with them. My travel patterns change over time and they have missed out on a ton of my recent travel as a result – since now I have a client in one of their main markets. I just drive to Dulles and use United instead of DCA for American.

This whole policy change is just a way to get miles off their books – since people are earning way too many with the credit cards and other offers.

Terrible, terrible puns. (Smiling.)

Just a note that might help people with expiring miles. To keep miles active, your account just needs activity. In addition to flying or redeeming miles, this can include gifting as few as 250 miles to charity or purchasing extra miles.

‘For your miles only?’
