I have just received an email below from AA, so I have posted this in AA Discussion Board (and my 2000th post!):
In the second quarter of 2015, we'll reach the next milestone on our path to integration by combining our frequent flyer programs into a single AAdvantage loyalty program. View a full timeline of events »
Here's what you can expect:
If you have a Dividend Miles[SUP]®[/SUP] and an AAdvantage account, we'll combine them in the second quarter of 2015. You'll hear from us early next year with information on how to quickly and easily match your accounts online. When we combine programs, we'll move your Dividend Miles award mileage balance, elite‑qualifying activity and million mile balance into your AAdvantage account on a one‑to‑one ratio. With your balances added together, you'll have more miles to redeem for things like flights, flight upgrades, vacation packages, car rentals, hotel stays and more. Learn how we'll combine your accounts »
Earning miles will continue to be easy. You'll still be able to earn miles by making everyday purchases and by flying. Plus, you'll be able to redeem your miles for any available seat with AAnytime[SUP]®[/SUP] Awards and for upgrades on US Airways flights. With American Airlines, US Airways and our oneworld[SUP]®[/SUP] alliance partners, you have access to nearly 1,000 destinations and your opportunities for earning and redeeming miles are endless.
On January 1, 2015, we'll increase bonus miles on American and US Airways Business Class tickets from 25% to 50% to match what you receive in First Class.
In 2015, the AAdvantage program will continue to offer three elite status levels, and you'll still have three ways to qualify with elite‑qualifying miles, points and segments.
Here's how it will work:
Keep flying to become an elite member. Members enjoy a number of exceptional benefits including priority treatment through the airport, upgrade privileges, free checked bags and more. Learn about elite benefits »
We'll keep you updated as we move forward with other important integration milestones.
