Pros: Turn Pop Tarts into Miles into Free Tickets for Charity Cons: None
Read this even if you don’t fly American Airlines. Read this even if you don’t fly. You could help some sick child fulfill a wish before they pass away. You don’t need to rate this Epinion either – but please tell your friends.
Pros: Easy to manage on website. Elite status upgrades. Lots of partners. Cons: Bonus miles don't count towards Elite status. High mileage requirements for unrestricted tickets.
INTRODUCTION I travel relatively often by air, and because the tiny airport in my hometown is serviced only by American Airlines, and the closest major airport is DFW (American's Hub), do most of my flying with AA. I have been a Gold AAdvantage m ...

I just took a new job- hurray! This job involved traveling back and forth to San Jose, CA from Chicago every week for two months- doh! Well, I could dwell on the 9 or so hours a week that I'd spend on a plane, or I could get real and imagine the...
Pros: very little black out days for award travel Cons: Terrible elite program, not many ways to redeem miles
