early, i’m surprised i havent heard about the checking miles, particularly since i’ve flown a ton of AA, know a lot of AA miles sluts :-), and no one has ever mentioned it.
the challenge with flyertalk is there is SO much on there, its hard to get through it, and even when you have read a lot of the posts, i feel like i need an advanced degree to figure out how to maximize accruing and then using miles.
the lifetime golds/plats i think has become a problem for AA with getting new/current fliers. there are so many EXPs floating around as it is, that its hard to get upgraded as plat, devaluing the point of getting that status.
well thanks for the tip, i feel like i’ve been missing out on a lot of AA tax free miles!
