Paul has some miles that will be expiring (also AA).  So the only way to keep from losing them is to fly w AA?  I was surprised that they still had expiring miles.  with my AA account my miles do not expire.  He has acquired most of his miles by charge card but has not use the card any longer- I wonder if using the card would stop the miles from expiring...hmm might have to check into that angle. We were going to use the miles to go to Vancouver for a family event in May but by the time we were ready to book it, the 25k seats were unavailable for the trip out.  We did not want to spend 50k per ticket so  we have decided not to go for right now.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br />After I bought my ticket.... Dan pointed out you can get miles by visiting participating businesses.. <a href="http://www.aa.com/aa/i18nForward.do?p=/AAdvantage/partners/main.jsp&amp;anchorEvent=false" target="_blank">check it out</a> just register your debit card or credit card and go buy a taco at Fresh Mex.. and it&#39;s all good..
